Overview

The Traditional Arts Apprenticeships grant, provided by the Idaho Commission on the Arts, fosters mentorship by pairing experienced artists with apprentices to preserve cultural art forms. Eligible applicants must be practicing artists, at least 18 years old, and U.S. citizens or legal residents. The apprenticeships, lasting up to ten months, must culminate in a public demonstration. This initiative not only supports the continuation of artistic traditions but also strengthens community engagement through the arts.

The Idaho Commission on the Arts is a state agency dedicated to bringing the arts to all Idahoans.
We convene local and regional gatherings for artists and arts administrators, provide grants and technical assistance to arts and cultural organizations, and facilitate capacity building in communities to support arts jobs and businesses.
This annual grant opportunity supports a learning partnership between a recognized mentor artist and one or more qualified apprentices to continue artistic traditions of a shared cultural heritage. An apprentice should have some background in the art form and indicate a commitment to practice the art form after the apprenticeship has been completed.
