Southwest Folklife Foundation
Location: Statewide
Nomination Deadline: April 11, 2018
The Southwest Folk Alliance Master-Apprentice Award seeks to support and encourage the preservation and perpetuation of traditional art forms present and thriving in Arizona. With the goal of strengthening the transmission of community-based traditions in the region, it fosters and supports the critical teaching/learning relationship between traditional artists and their apprentices.
Artists are first nominated by peers within their community, cultural institutions, apprentices, or by self-nomination. Applicants include a wide variety of traditional artists, including but not limited to:
- Artisans: weavers, basket makers, jewelers, mask makers
- Occupational folklife practitioners: adobe brickmakers, leather workers, ironworkers
- Oral tradition practitioners: storytellers, musicians, poets
- Performing arts practitioners: dancers, traditional garment makers, ritual object makers
Artists are selected by a panel and awarded for their knowledge, dedication, and commitment to passing on living traditions from our region and beyond. Support for the program comes from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts’ State Arts Partnership Grant, the Surdna Foundation, and local donors.
