The Master-Apprentice Artist Award provides direct financial support for highly skilled traditional and heritage-based artists living in Arizona to pass on their artform, culture, and heritage to apprentice learners. The award is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arizona Commission on the Arts. More About the Program 2025 award recipients
