The Michigan Native American Arts Initiative is a project to help strengthen Native American arts in Michigan. The goal is to find ways to creatively increase the sharing of information between and about artists and to strengthen opportunities for support and recognition of artists. The project recognizes that Native American culture celebrates the arts through objects, painting, dance, theater, writing, oratory, and music. We seek input from all Native American artists and those associated with them: artists, singers, musicians, dancers, gallery owners, museum staff, pow wow committees, collectors, and those who appreciate and promote their work.
