ABARAKA AWARD
SAEAS is excited to provide Abaraka Award grants for African-American women, as an initiative designed to assist early- to mid-career visual artists nationally. We seek to assist visual artists who demonstrate a commitment to their craft and artistic communities. The funding is intended to further the recipients’ artistic practices and encourage career longevity.
