board seeks indian arts
and crafts for exhibitions
The Indian Arts and Crafts Board will host a juried arts and crafts
competition for Native youth at each of its three regional museums in the
spring. The theme of the competition will be “Where do we come from?
Where are we going?”
The competitions will be open to enrolled members of federally recognized
Tribes between the ages of 13 and 18. Offi cial written documentation veri-
fying the youth’s enrollment and written parental or guardian permission
will be required.
The competitions will provide Native youth with a realistic juried art
show experience; encourage the development and expansion of their produc-
tion and marketing skills; and enhance youth interest in culture, history
and the possibility of an artistic career.
Submissions will be judged by an independent jury of artists, artisans
and art professionals. Awards will be $100 for fi rst place, $75 for second
and $50 for third.
The three museums operated by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board are
the Sioux Indian Museum in Rapid City, S.D., the Southern Plains Indian
Museum in Anadarko, Okla., and the Museum of the Plains Indian in
Browning, Mont.
Artwork must be submitted by March 1. Winners will be announced
in April. Exhibition of selected works will be held from April 15 through
May 31.
For more information, including offi cial contest rules and procedures,
