Join NACF for day of art, community, and connection.
On Saturday, June 21, artists Jacob Meders (Mechoopda/Maidu) and Toma Villa (Yakama) will transform SE 10th Ave., with a one-of-a-kind mural outside CNAC!
We’ll celebrate with a full-day block party, featuring food, music, and opportunities for you to help paint the mural alongside the artists.
We’re launching something new! A space for Indigenous artists, curators, and thinkers to share their stories, ideas, and creative visions. This March, our first issue debuts during the Heard Museum Indian Fair + Market at the Phoenix Art Museum, featuring essays and reflections from some of the most compelling voices in Native arts and cultures today.
The Native Arts + Cultures Foundation is dedicated to supporting the creativity of Indigenous artists across the country. Explore our revamped Resources for Artists page, now featuring the latest opportunities for grants, workshops, residencies, and more—all designed to support your artistic journey!

I was taught that our arts carry the spirit of the people. It is through art that we know ourselves. It’s through art into the world and it is through art cultures will be remembered.
