The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is dedicated to promoting the revitalization, appreciation, and perpetuation of Native arts and cultures. The Bridge Initiative: Arts + Health grant program supports tribal entities, nonprofit organizations, and Native programs in California that propose projects impacting health and vitality in communities throughout the state, with a focus on youth. (Health is defined as physical, mental, and/or social well-being.) Priority is given to artists and/or arts organizations that partner with health care or wellness partners to implement a project impacting the youth of their community. Key to successful projects is the integration of arts and cultures in creating community well-being and the engagement of youth and the community in the artist’s work. Matching grants of up to $10,000 are provided. Letters of inquiry will be accepted through January 18, 2013. Visit the Foundation’s website for more information.
