Research Grants
We encourage artists and researchers who are not students at the University of Washington to apply for a Bill Holm Center Research Grant by April 20, 2012. This fellowship will fund researchers whose projects would benefit from the study of the Burke Museum's Ethnology collection, including paper and photographic archives. Projects need not be focused solely on Burke collections, as long as they are within the field of Northwest Coast art. Graduate Fellowship
