Three fellowships and two internships are offered yearly for Native American artists and scholars by the Indian Arts Research Center. Artist fellowships provide time for exploration of new ideas in art and contemporary issues. Internships provide professional development for those interested in museum work, with interns learning about collections, registration, and programming while continuing their academic research. Artist fellows spend two to three months living and working on campus, with full access to the collection, while interns spending nine months in residence. Housing and a stipend are provided for all fellowships and internships.
Additional fellowships for Native scholars are offered through the School for Advanced Research Resident Scholar program.
