Securing a future


The Native Art Acquisition Fund will provide a financial lifeline for artists during the COVID-19 crisis. It will also enable the museum to diversify its art collections, ensuring it continues as a champion for Native American art worldwide.


Join us in securing a bright future for Native artists


We need their voices and perspectives now more than ever—to understand American identity more fully, to inspire and to heal.
