Each year, First Peoples Fund, a national Native arts organization that works with artists across the United States to sustain culture, and cultivate entrepreneurial and economic development initiatives, honors the Collective Spirit of Native artists with First Peoples Celebrates: The Jennifer Easton Community Spirit Awards.
The awards are given each year to recognize the exceptional passion, wisdom and purpose the recipients bring to their art and the communities they serve. This year’s CSA honoring ceremonies are taking place right in the communities where the artists live and work, making each honoring a local celebration. Join us for an evening of inspiring stories and beautiful performances as we honor two Native Hawaiians and a member of the Turtle Mountain Band Chippewa.
