The Arizona Commission on the Arts is proud to host a special orientation session for the Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA) Master-Apprentice Award.
The Southwest Folklife Alliance Master-Apprentice 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.
April 30, 2016: 10 am – 11:30 am

This online information session will include discussion of ARDG application and eligibility requirements, a breakdown of the application components and a live Q&A with Arts Commission staff.
