The goal of promoting fiber arts is often met with funding issues at the root of our guilds and artists. The Education Committee of the Albuquerque Fiber Arts Council, Inc. is pleased to announce two funding sources now available to address this issue: AFAC Scholarships and AFAC Subsidy Funding. For futher information contact: funding@fiberartsfiesta.org |
Three AFAC scholarships have been established to encourage advanced studies within the various forms of fiber art. The available scholarships are: New Mexico Resident Scholarship in Fibers, Heritage Scholarship, and Guild Member Scholarship for Workshops and Classes. In general, applicants should be residents of New Mexico. Awardees should plan to have work shown at an Albuquerque Fiber Arts Council show, or an article in the Fiber Arts Newsletter. There are additional requirements for each application. Scholarship applications are due by July 1, 2011. |
An additional allotment has been set aside by the AFAC to assist guilds with seed, matching and supplemental funding of projects. Some suggested uses: Classes within Guilds, Guild Outreach, Projects within Guilds, Projects among Multiple Guilds, Group Multi-Discipline Projects and Matching Funds. In general, funding should be used to better cultivate the many forms of fiber arts in New Mexico. Subsidy funding applications are due by July 1, 2011. |
