2025 Graton Artist Opportunity

The Graton Artist Opportunity serves to cultivate a stage for artists from federally and non-federally recognized California Indian tribes to tell their stories through film.  Artists will receive access to curated courses from the Sundance Institute Collab platform, which provides a virtual destination for emerging artists to learn craft and career strategies and to build community through courses, workshops, advisor sessions, extensive resources, and virtual community gatherings.

Deadline: July 31
