National Native Artist Exchange supports teaching, learning and collaborating of traditional and/or contemporary Native art forms between two Native artists from two different regions. Grants up to $1,500 are available per exchange.
National Native Artist Exchange is made possible with lead funding from the Ford Foundation’s Indigenous Knowledge and Expressive Culture program along with additional funding from the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and Anonymous donors.
Funding may be used for travel expenses for Native artists to exchange with artists from other tribes/nations outside their own region to share, teach and learn skills, do research, and/or to develop collaborative projects. Acceptable expenses include lodging, meals, ground and air travel, and other direct costs of the artist exchange.
Grant application informational sessions will be offered at various points throughout the year. These sessions will offer guidance for understanding the Native Arts funding guidelines and preparation of proposals, as well as information about other NEFA programs and ways to identify and connect with other available resources.
