Nominations of American Indian Artists Invited for First Peoples Fund's Community Spirit Awards

Nominations of American Indian Artists Invited for First Peoples Fund's 11th Annual Community Spirit Awards.

First Peoples Fund, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor and support the creative community-centered First Peoples artists, is accepting nominations for the Community Spirit Award, which recognizes American Indian artists who have made substantial contributions to their communities. The program will honor four individuals with fellowships of $5,000 each. 

The Community Spirits Awards program seeks nominations of artists who are deeply rooted in and maintain direct ties to their tribal community, demonstrate a commitment to building the strength of native communities by sharing their skills and talents with others in their respective communities, and maintain an artistic practice that passes on the traditions and the life ways of the people.

Nominated artists must be practicing artists of demonstrated maturity in their field (practicing their art for a minimum of ten years) and be documented affiliates of a United States tribe. The program will honor practicing artists in contemporary and traditional forms of the Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Literary Arts.
