Are you a Native Hawaiian musician, dancer, artist (etc)? You might be interested in this fellowship! I received this information today via the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts:

"To support Native Hawaiian artists active in the fields of dance, music, traditional and visual arts, the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) has announced a new fellowship with a January 15, 2015 deadline.

"The fellowship awards include support ranging up to $20,000 per artist. While this is the first fellowship created exclusively to support Native Hawaiian artists, the national nonprofit foundation has offered national fellowships of this amount each year since 2011 to Native Hawaiian, American Indian and Alaska Native artists and culture-makers. Artists who apply need to be able to supply documentation of Native Hawaiian ancestry.

“The foundation looks forward to supporting the inspirational creativity of Native Hawaiian artists and culture-makers in the Hawaiian Islands and around the country!” said NACF Program Officer Andre Bouchard. “Online applications must be submitted at your.culturegrants.org. by 5 p.m. Pacific time on January 15. Panels will review submissions this winter and we will announce the awardees in Spring 2015.”

"A partnership with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and support from the Leonard and Rose Freeman Family Fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation allowed the Native-led foundation to offer this new fellowship exclusively to the nation’s Native Hawaiian artists.

“We are grateful for the advocacy and generosity of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Freeman family,” said NACF President/CEO T. Lulani Arquette (Native Hawaiian). “These esteemed partners share our commitment to Native cultures, which have the power to bring people together to transform their communities.”

"To apply for a Native Hawaiian Artist Fellowship, applicants must submit online applications by 5 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on Thursday, January 15, 2015, at: your.culturegrants.org.

    Originally from California, Iʻve lived on Oʻahu for a number of years. Music has always been my passion and Iʻm fortunate to be able to work with and support many of Hawaiʻiʻs musicians. For such a tiny speck in the middle of a very large ocean, we have an amazing wealth of talent  here!
