The National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of agricultural workers and their families in the United States and Puerto Rico. Each year, NCFH commissions an artist to depict an image relevant to the lifestyle of agricultural workers and their families to support the annual NCFH Scholarship program. Proceeds from the sale of fine art prints and posters are used to award scholarships to individuals with the potential to positively affect agricultural workers. The NCFH Scholarship program was established in 1984 and offers scholarships in the amount of up to $1500 to support degree programs and up to $1000 to support certificate programs or other educational opportunities to all employees and board members of health center staff of clinical, administrative, and ancillary disciplines to help them with their academic goals.
We invite you to consider this wonderful opportunity to showcase your work and be a part of a program which helps others to achieve success. If you are interested in being considered as a future artist, please submit the following to info@ncfh.org.
A $1,500 cash prize will be awarded to the selected artist upon completion of the artwork, along with one fine artist proof and five posters of the image. In addition to creating the original piece, the artist agrees to attend the conference where the artwork will be unveiled and participate in poster and print signings. Travel expenses will be covered by NCFH.
