To support “2025 NACF Convening” program consisting of a series of one-day, in-person gatherings across locations including Santa Fe, Phoenix, Juneau, and Seattle, as well as at the NACF’s own Center for Native Arts and Cultures in Portland, Oregon, from March 1 through December 31, 2025. These events engage Native artists, leaders, and scholars in dialogues about contemporary Native arts and cultures, focusing on advancing visibility, fostering professional development, and creating spaces for cultural exchange. Emphasizing relationship-building and knowledge exchange, these gatherings aim to deepen connections and expand the influence of Native arts across the field. This in-person event is also recorded; the videos shared on NACF’s social media platforms and through our email newsletters. A quarterly publication, available in digital and printed edition, will detail and celebrate the convenings.
