Selected fellows are offered a four-week residency, which includes uninterrupted time, private studio space living accommodations, meals prepared by our professional chef, a stipend, and the experience of the majestic High Plains.
The Ucross Fellowship for Native American Artists also includes an award of $2,000 and the opportunity to present work publicly, such as a featured exhibition in the Ucross Art Gallery, a reading, or a performance.

Following the success of the first two years, in 2020, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) granted Ucross funds to continue the program for visual artists and expand its reach to include Native American writers. In 2024, the NEA granted Ucross additional funds to include Native American performers.

Indigenous people continue to live in this area and practice their teachings and lifeways. Today, this region remains an important place for many Indigenous peoples. As a Wyoming institution, we recognize and respect this historical context and are working to build reciprocal relationships with the Native nations on whose lands we are situated.
In partial fulfillment of that commitment, Ucross established Fellowships for Native American Visual Artists in 2017, Writers in 2020, and Performers in 2024. “I feel transformed by my time at Ucross, in terms of my relationship to my work-in-progress and the work of writing in general.
I feel like I rediscovered a sense of playfulness in language and style, something I don't think I could have done right now amid my day-to-day responsibilities. I'm grateful for the land, the time, the thoughtful spaces, the delicious food, and the community. ” — Kelli Jo Ford , Native American Fellow in Writing, 2023 "Ucross is a place where the mind can roam freely and creativity can flourish.
It captures the essence of artistic freedom within the vast and expansive landscape." — Steven Yazzie , Native American Fellow in Visual Arts, 2024 Selected Honors & Notable Alumni Native American Fellowships Native American Art Curatorial Convening Ucross Art Gallery and Café Institutional Giving & Named Residencies
