PORTLAND, Oregon, June 23, 2021 – The Native Art

PORTLAND, Oregon, June 23, 2021 – The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF) has been awarded a multi-million dollar gift in support of its mission to advance equity and cultural knowledge. A Native-led organization, NACF focuses on the power of arts and collaboration to strengthen Native communities and promote positive social, cultural and environmental change. NACF is one of 286 high-impact organizations nationwide that received $2.7 billion in gifts from philanthropists MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett.

“We would like to express our warmest gratitude to MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett for acknowledging NACF’s work and impact in the Native arts and cultures field with this generous commitment,” says Lulani Arquette, NACF President/CEO. “We are at a pivotal moment in Indigenous communities in which creative forces are aligning for the good of all. As NACF grows our organization and programming, we believe art is a powerful force to bring about transformative change, healing and understanding .”

While Native-led nonprofits are often overlooked in philanthropic giving, Native artists and organizations are doing profound work to strengthen Native communities, change misconceptions about Indigenous peoples and create space and opportunities for Indigenous voices to be amplified. NACF is pleased to receive this gift in the company of other valued Native recipient organizations, and is inspirited by the support, recognition and visibility this will bring to Indigenous issues.

“We are grateful to be included alongside so many vital organizations in our collective efforts to uplift the strengths of American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native people and support positive social change,” says Arquette.

Thea Hopkins (Aquinnah Wampanoag) was on tour in the United Kingdom in August of 2014 when she heard the news about the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The incident was getting a lot of international attention, and the timing coincided with the anniversary of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Black boy lynched to death in Mississippi in August of 1955. The 2014 protests in response to the tragedy of Michael Brown spurred Thea to finish The Ghost of Emmett Till, a song she had started writing earlier that year and which was recently awarded the Grand Prize Winner at the 22nd Great American Song Contest. Read more about Thea and the poignant storytelling of her new song, 'The Ghost of Emmet Till' on our website (link in bio)!

GIVE A GIFT! One of the most extraordinary attributes of art is its ability to inspire us to think in expanded ways, moving the public to act and challenge assumptions about Native identity and culture. We could not do this meaningful work without you. We rely on your generous support to ensure a vibrant future for Native artists and culture bearers. Your gift will support artists and community projects whose work can change the narrative of invisibility for future generations to come and open dialogue for social change. Will you consider making a gift today? (link in bio)

"We need sustained support and recognition to ‘build scaffolds, not ladders.’ Instead of promoting one or two artists who rise to the top, what we need is a whole field, a crowded field, so that when asked, you can name at least five Native artists. This takes ongoing support from organizations, institutions, galleries, and communities to maintain consistent growth."
― RYAN! Feddersen, National Artist Fellow

The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is pleased

The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is pleased to announce Natalie Ball (Black, #Modoc and #Klamath Tribes) as the recipient of the #Oregon Native Artist Fellowship (ONAF). Ball’s work addresses racial narratives critical to the understanding of both the self and the nation and our shared experiences and histories. Her multilayered assemblages incorporate personal objects that are full of stories and inner lives. Ball redeploys and recontextualizes iconography typically associated with Native American cultures to propose different narratives of Indigenous life in the United States. Read more about her on our website!
