Pritchard Artist Awards will focus on Teaching Artists The term “teaching artist” is intentionally non-specific; we aim to include visual artists of all disciplines who teach in addition to their artistic practice, and consider teaching to be an essential element of their practice, whether by design or out of necessity.

Allied Arts Foundation acknowledges and appreciates the special work and contributions of teaching artists, who share their talent and energy to pass on technical skills, methodologies, and ways of seeing and living. All forms of teaching are supported, including K-12, community art programs, and higher education; as long as applicants consider teaching a meaningful component of their artistic practice, they are welcome to apply.

The Allied Arts Foundation will award $5,000. 00 unrestricted grants to three artists. This award is intended to facilitate artistic growth and experience.

The Allied Arts Foundation seeks to encourage emerging artists and will limit awards to teaching artists in an early or mid-career stage, whose work is not currently represented by commercial galleries and/or in major museum exhibitions and collections. Applicants must be 18 or older, must live in Washington State and must not be currently enrolled in an educational institution as a student.

Your submissions are welcome whether instruction and discourse are defining components of your art practice, or you collaborate with the intention of teaching and learning from your students. A teaching certificate is not required. All visual art mediums are accepted.

Applicants should submit images and materials that demonstrate both their artistic practice and their teaching experience. Educational materials can include programs, syllabi, lesson plans, and examples of student work. Please be prepared to provide three professional references or letters of support if requested.
