Who can apply for a Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) Artist Fellowship?

At times of open calls, the criteria for eligible applicants will be outlined on our online application.

How do I apply for a NACF Artist Fellowship?

Open Calls for applications are periodically announced by the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation – we recommend signing up for our e-newsletter so you’ll be the first to know when a regional or national Open Call begins.

At times of open calls, the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation accepts only electronic grant applications. Regretfully, we cannot accept paper applications.

What Open Calls for individual artists are currently available?
  • There are no open calls at this time. Please check back at a later date.
How are Fellows selected?

A volunteer review panel of art peers and professionals review the applications for recommendation to the foundation’s Board of Directors.
