Native-Made Art from Native Nonprofits
Native art is as diverse as Native peoples themselves, and buying from Native nonprofits ensures that you’re receiving something authentic and thoughtfully made, while supporting artists and their communities.
Native artists, artisans and craftspeople draw from traditional techniques and designs, and reimagine new materials and ideas, to create the gorgeous pieces that Native nonprofits have available. They also work in tons of mediums, including painting, illustration, photography, weaving, carving, and ceramics.
Whether you are looking for an inexpensive small print or a one-of-a-kind original, Native nonprofits have tons of art that will fit your aesthetic. Your purchase will benefit artists and nonprofit community programs, and bring you something beautiful as well.
