Native Arts Enrichment and Expansion
2020-2023
About The Program
The Native Arts Enrichment and Expansion program purposes to enrich, enhance, and expand traditional and contemporary Native arts knowledge and skills at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and the communities that they serve. Grants provide the opportunity at TCUs for the transfer of intergenerational artistic skills and cultural knowledge. TCUs are cultural hubs for their respective communities and will provide the opportunity for students and community members to learn and expand their knowledge of traditional and contemporary Native arts through instruction from master artists and apprentices.
