Educational Grant Opportunity

 


Running Strong for American Indian youth is proud to announce that we have $25,000 dedicated to supporting Native artists.

 

In 2021 Running  Strong for American Indian youth launched Dreamstarter Creative to support Native Artists. Artists are cultural protectors, tradition keepers, and valuable contributors to the contemporary American art world as they connect Native traditions with an ever changing and challenging world. Running Strong is proud to support Native creators who describe and celebrate Indigenous cultures in their work, in whatever form that may be.  We encourage any artists, from any medium to apply for a grant of up to $2,500 to help support their craft, and further their art education. We will select 10 Native creators from our applicants to award $2,500 each. Grant funds may be used for supplies, materials, workshops and seminars, professional development and/or stipends for cultural bearers that you’d like to consult with. All applications are due by April 4th, 2023 11:59 ESTSelected applicants will be notified on April 18th, 2023.

 

During your grant year as you expand your knowledge and your craft you will complete 3-5 pieces of work that reflect this year’s theme. This year’s theme will focus on Native communities and their interactions with changing landscapes, from traditional lands to urban landscapes. A complete list of prompts is located on our website.  

 

Please share and forward this information to anyone you know that loves to create!
