Master Artist Apprentice Program (MAAP) FY2025

From Tennessee Arts Commission  –

Tennessee Arts Commission, in partnership with the Tennessee Craft, offers the Master Artist Apprentice Program (MAAP) to open the door for artists to learn traditional and contemporary craft skills from master craft artists.

All artists in the program are asked to choose challenging goals that will catapult their skills and knowledge as craft artists. The Master Artist Apprentice Program was created to help artists reach the next level of their professional development from a six-month one-on-one mentorship, not typically available in most learning environments.

Awarded apprentices receive a $1,900 stipend to work with their chosen master from December 1 to June 15, 2025. The application deadline is November 1, 2024. For more information, email Tennessee Craft.
