“Native Arts and Culture: Resilience, reclamation, and relevance” Webinar
In February 2020, the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) co-hosted the first-ever gathering of the Native arts, cultures, and humanities field in collaboration with federal arts agencies. The big ideas that came out of the convening were compiled into a report that informs movement and mobilization around Native Arts leadership in arts philanthropy, rethinking funding methods and practices, and advancing partnerships in research and social justice.

Joining us on March 30 for a 75-minute webinar to discuss the report and explore action steps will be Lulani Arquette (NACF), Joy Harjo (US Poet Laureate, Muscogee (Creek) Nation), Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo / Harvard University Native American Program), and Clifford Murphy (NEA, Folk & Traditional Arts). Details here.
