Named for the Namingha family, who believe deeply in giving back to the community by aiding and nurturing developing artists, the Namingha Institute celebrates diverse artistry. Supported in part by the Philip M. Smith Trust, this annual residency provides selected artists with a challenging and stimulating environment to explore their artistic interests.
Throughout the two-week residency, students participate in classes with the master artists on the Museum of Northern Arizona campus. They tour MNA’s Easton Collection Center and pull inspiration from the beauty and diversity of the Colorado Plateau. Residents stay in rustic cabins near the studio and are provided a $1,500 stipend.
The Master Class is open to early-career artists age 18 or older. Download the application instructions on our website musnaz.org/namingha. The 2027 Institute will take place April 25-May 9, 2027. Applications are due by Sunday, January 10, 2027 at 11:59pm.
