Native Artist Fellowships
The Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) at the School for Advanced Research (SAR) offers three artist in residence fellowships annually to advance the work of mature and emerging Native artists. Each fellowship includes a monthly stipend, housing, studio space, a supplies allowance, and travel reimbursement to and from SAR. These fellowships provide time for artists to explore new avenues of creativity, grapple with new ideas to further advance their work, and to strengthen existing talents.
The fellowships support diverse creative disciplines and can include sculpture, performance, basketry, painting, printmaking, digital art, mixed media, photography, pottery, writing, and film and video. The IARC fellowships are funded through the generosity of Ronald and Susan Dubin, Eric and Barbara Dobkin, and Rollin and Mary Ella King.
- Ron and Susan Dubin Native American Artist Fellowship – June 15 through August 15
- Rollin and Mary Ella King Native Artist Fellowship – September 1 through December 1
- Eric and Barbara Dobkin Native American Artist Fellowship for Women – March 1 through May 31
