DescriptionThe Fund’s Artist in Business Leadership Program seeks to cultivate entrepreneurial artists to a small business level (consistent and reliable income) where business concepts are understood and applied. This fellowship is designed to help Native American artists to increase their business skills and run their arts-based businesses. The Program provides a working capital grant of up to $5,000 to be used to support a one-year marketing plan or strategy or business goal. Fellows will receive technical assistance, have the opportunity to participate in a professional network of peers, and be provided travel funds to participate in the Fund’s individualized professional development workshops. Eligible applicants must have more than five years of experience in marketing their art at Indian art markets and galleries, as well as through wholesale outlets; have chosen art as a means to obtain economic self-sufficiency for themselves and their families; and demonstrate a strong vision and have a well-articulated plan for implementing effective market strategies over the one-year fellowship. Applicants must be a member of a Northern Great Plains tribe located in South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, western Minnesota, Nebraska or the Eastern Plateau region of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Also eligible are members of tribes from the Great Lakes region of Minnesota, Michigan, or Wisconsin as well as a tribe from any Eastern Seaboard state or a Hawaiian or Alaskan Native. Affiliated Canadian First Nations artists are also eligible. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
