The Ethnic and Folk Arts Master/Apprentice Program (MAP) acknowledges and supports the mentoring relationship that develops between a master artist and their apprentice over time. MAP helps communities preserve their own culture by providing an opportunity for master traditional artists to pass on their skills to a qualified apprentice in a time-honored method.
The application is open in the Illinois Arts Council’s online Salesforce system and has a deadline of December 5, 2022 at 11:59pm and the awards will be announced in the spring of 2023.
