Stephen Qacung Blanchett is a 2022 United States Artists Fellow and among the cultural leaders for the Kennedy Center's 50 for the Next 50.
Bethel-raised musician and Pamyua frontman Stephen Qacung Blanchett has been creating music for almost three decades, but 2022 may be his biggest year yet. The Yup’ik culture-bearer and multi-disciplinary artist has received two national honors. Last week, he was named a 2022 United States Artists Fellow.
“Artists are really good at our craft and our practices, but we’re not really that good at finance. Finances are the one of the things you don’t want to deal with. And so for them to do this and support us artists with this type of money, it’s crazy,” Blanchett said. His hard work over the past year has also gained Qacung another national honor. For its 50th anniversary, the Kennedy Center namedin art, education and athletics. Qacung is on the list for his work as a performing artist, culture-bearer, educator, and advocate for equity and inclusion.
For Qacung, the chance to be in the room with some of the country’s most influential and groundbreaking artists through his work with the Kennedy Center could mean the chance for some pretty cool collaborations.
