A New Residency Aims to Give Indigenous Artists the Tools to Make Art in Neon

The Walker Youngbird Foundation, a Native-led nonprofit, has launched a new residency program in collaboration with Lite Brite Neon Studio in Kingston, New York, aimed at giving Indigenous artists the opportunity to create work in neon for the first time. The inaugural resident is Sarah Rowe (Ponca Tribe of Nebraska), a painter and installation artist selected from over 100 applicants. The residency is valued at around $50,000 per cycle, covering fabrication, travel, lodging, a $10,000 stipend, and full ownership of the artwork and intellectual property. The program was inspired by foundation founder Reid Walker's acquisition of neon works by artists such as Watt and Jeffrey Gibson.
