Pathways: A Native Space Initiative
______________________________________
Now in its second year, Pathways is a pilot program designed to support Native American arts and cultural organizations in accessing and developing creative spaces in their communities. This 12-month, virtual cohort program utilizes Artspace’s decades of expertise as a creative real estate developer to assist Native organizations in exploring strategies that leverage existing assets or sustain a plan for a new space.
Who is this for?
______________________________________
Pathways may be what your organization needs to advance your space-related issues if you’ve ever asked any of the following questions: Is our organization outgrowing our current space? Do we have the amenities needed to fully carry out our mission? Are we able to archive ancestral objects? Should we buy or lease a new space?
To be eligible to apply, organizations must have a dedicated budget to support Native arts and culture, have been providing arts and cultural programming for at least three years, and be based within one of the following locations: Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Southern California, South Dakota, Washington, or Wisconsin.
