Native Arts & Cultures Conference

September 14 - 17, 2022

The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is honored to host the The Constellations That Guide Us: A National Native Arts Gathering, from September 14-17, 2022, in Portland, Oregon: the traditional homelands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We are excited to welcome the Native arts community for a multi-day, in-person gathering that seeks to center the voices of our artists and culture bearers and provide an opportunity to come together in community for the first time in over two years. Attendees will experience numerous plenaries, artist presentations, learning sessions, networking opportunities, and a closing night celebration at the new Center for Native Arts and Cultures.
