the walker youngbird artist grant

Through the foundation’s artist grant program, Native American and Indigenous artists are provided with financial support, mentorship, and a dedicated showcase celebrating a completed project.

Funds can be used for materials, studio space, travel for research, or any other resources necessary to create a new project.

Artists should be prepared to provide photos, video, and general updates of their progress so that we can share their journey.

Tip: We’re looking for artists with work grounded in tradition, and innovative in execution.
