First Nations invites Native artists who are American Indian, Alaska Native, and/or Native Hawaiian – and who are U.S. residents – to submit artwork or an artistic production that depicts or reflects Native justice in their communities through the artist’s eyes.

Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/01/2023
Size of the Grant: $4,000
Details:
First Nations believes that including the perspectives of Native artists is essential to building a movement to advance Native justice because art is an integral part of Native culture, serving as a way to visually address complex issues, emotions, and ideas while preserving and perpetuating Native knowledge systems. First Nations aims to construct an artistic narrative that considers what justice looks like or means to Native artists. These narratives will serve as a means to engage in a broader discussion about achieving justice in Native communities.
