To empower artists and communities through innovative, inclusive, and culturally grounded creative programs that foster growth, sustainability, and connection. We aim to bridge tradition and modernity, offering opportunities for artistic expression and entrepreneurship while addressing the challenges faced by Indigenous and urban artists in a rapidly changing world.

By nurturing talent, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation, we strive to create a global network of resilient, empowered artists who are deeply connected to their communities and the world around them.

Values

Through our Mission, Vision, and Values, we remain committed to cultivating spaces where creativity can flourish and where art becomes a catalyst for meaningful change.

Our community and regional programs and project have been made possible through support and funding from a number of institutions in the United States and Canada.
