SELECTION PROCESS
The artists will be selected on the basis of submission materials evidencing artistic quality of past work and experiences. In addition, all other support gathered from artist meetings with the committee, and past work done with the Nation will be taken into advisement. We recommend contacting our committee to set up a premliminary meeting to develop a better understanding of the projects and proposals, and for the committee to gain insight to the artists processes and interpretations. This preliminary meeting could replace a formal application, if needed. The proposals selected will be decided by the committee, but we reserve the right to recommend alternative artists if quality proposals are not submitted. TIMELINE
