The Vermont Studio Center Announces the Native American Artists Award and residency fellowhips for low-income artists and writers of outstanding talent.
The Vermont Studio Center, the international creative community located in the heart of the Green Mountains in Johnson, Vermont, USA, announces a residency fellowship award for one Native American Visual Artist.
The Native American Fellowship provides one outstanding Native American artist with a month-long VSC Residency in 2007, including studio space, comfortable housing, three meals daily, as well as access to six distinguished Visiting Artists and Writers who are in residence each month. The award, valued at $4,750, includes the residency fellowship fee ($3,750) as well as travel, materials, shipping, and living expenses.

A Vermont Studio Center Residency is an ideal opportunity for meaningful interaction with American and international professional peers in a non-competitive, supportive studio environment.
Over the past decade, VSC has provided residency fellowship opportunities for some twenty-five Native Americans from Montreal, Quebec to Helena, Montana. In addition, such prominent Native Americans as Fritz Scholder, Juane Quick-to-See Smith, Kay Walkingstick, and Simon Ortiz have been included among its roster of distinguished Visiting Artists and Writers.
The deadline for receipt of all applications is June 15th, 2007. Please call Kate Westcott, VSC Receptionist, for more information (802) 635-2727, or visit our Web site at www.vermontstudiocenter.org for detailed application procedures.
NOTE: THE REGULAR APPLICATION FEE OF $25 HAS BEEN WAIVED FOR THIS AWARD.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
