Tennessee Master Craft Artist / Apprenticeship Program Announced

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 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.
