Program areas at NACF

The shift - transformative change and indigenous Arts program supports artist and community-driven projects responding to social, environmental or economic justice issues through a Native lens. The program focuses on efforts that are built upon community cultural assets, resilience and strengths and draw increased attention to Native communities, perspectives and challenges, shifting a national narrative of invisibility, misunderstanding and misappropriation. Shift provides invaluable resources for project development, production and presentation for the artists and their collaborators.
We continue our initiative to provide small awards to support travel and logistics related to the exhibition and engagement of Native artists and culture bearers with public audiences.
Lift - early career support for Native artists program will provide invaluable support to early career Native artists with one-year awards to develop and realize new projects. Support for burgeoning artists is critical in developing fresh voices and envisioning the future of our respective Native practices. Lift encourages artists to uplift communities, advance positive social change, point courageously toward environmental sustainability, and foster communal meaning making.
