Hello Friends,
Thank you for your support of the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) in strengthening Native arts, expanding awareness and access to Native knowledge, and investing in cultural continuity for generations of Native people. With your help, we’ve supported nearly 400 artists and organizations in 34 states and the District of Columbia.
For many, Spring represents a time of rebirth where warmth returns, flowers bloom, and animals come out of hibernation. We are reminded that Spring is a time of renewal. NACF is also going through a time of rebirth and renewal. As you may know, NACF has a new home in Southeast Portland, OR – the Center for Native Arts and Cultures (the Center).
The Center strives to be more than an incubator of Native artistic expressions and a vibrant gathering place for Native communities through diverse exhibitions, events, cultural ceremonies, and celebration. We envision the Center as part of a national movement present in this decade – one that reckons with a history of silenced Native stories, advances racial equity work, and addresses climate change which threatens our homelands – to work with other committed organizations and peoples in identifying approaches to self-determination and Return to the Land.
