Mellon Master Artist Workshops
Through the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, ANHC is able to host Master Artists who will teach you classic art forms from Alaska Native cultures. Workshops range from a two-day to a week-long experience, and in most cases, the materials are provided along with the guidance. All workshops take place on ANHC’s campus, with plenty of free parking.
The Mellon Master Artist program also provides professional business training for artists who are seeking a way to make their art more financially sustainable. The classes, provided by Alaska Native artists trained by the First People’s Fund, cover most aspects of maintaining a business as an artist, including marketing and internet presence. These classes are free to the public and are on a first-come, first-served sign-up basis.
Check the Events page for upcoming classes and on-site. For more information on the Mellon Master Artist program, email info@alaskanative.net.
