Deadline: September 30
Nashville, TN
The Tennessee Arts Commission has announced the Tennessee Master Craft Artist / Apprenticeship Program. The program is a cooperative partnership of the Tennessee Arts Commission (TAC) and the Tennessee Association of Craft Artists (TACA). "The program is a cooperative partnership created to encourage and invest in the continuation, advancement, and creation of Tennessee craft by recognizing the role of the master craft artist/apprentice relationship as a way to preserve the state's cultural heritage," says Julie Horn, director of visual art, craft, and media for the TAC. The program will contact master craft artists to offer a period of concentrated learning to apprentices who demonstrate a commitment to further develop their abilities as specialized craft practitioners. Three master craft artist/apprentice pairs will be chosen to participate in the program, with funding available for intensive, one-on-one training to qualified apprentices by recognized master craft artists. Approved applications will receive a total of $4,000 to be divided - the master craft artist is awarded a stipend of $2,200 and the apprentice is awarded a stipend of $1,800. more...
