Southwest Folklife Alliance’s Master-Apprentice Grant Award is designed to support the teaching/learning relationship between traditional artists and their apprentices. The goal of this award is to strengthen the transmission of community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States. The award supports a master artist or tradition bearer who has identified a qualified apprentice (or group of apprentices), to engage in a relationship that includes intensive learning, one-on-one mentorship and hands-on experience in his/her traditional artistic practice.
Learn more about the Master-Apprentice Grant and the application process during this information session presented by Maribel Alvarez and Leah Maahs of Southwest Folklife Alliance and hosted by the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
