In 2013, Bustamante was awarded the (Short-term) CMAS-Benson Latin American Collection Research Fellowship and also a Makers Muse Award from the Kindle Foundation. Bustamante’s video work is in the Kadist Collection. In 2010, she was an unlikely contestant on TV network, Bravo’s “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.” Nao Bustamante is an alum of the San Francisco Art Institute, New Genres program and the Skowhegen School of Painting and Sculpture as a Video Fellow.
