Founded in 2020 to serve the needs of the artist community in Las Vegas, Nevada, IndigenousAF (IAF) grounds all of its programming in the Native American practices of reciprocity and respect. IndigenousAF members, interns, and volunteer Board of Directors seek to preserve traditions and create opportunities for a thriving Indigenous community. IAF celebrates Indigenous cultures through free public arts projects and event programming, which also provides opportunities for local artists. IAF fosters creativity by providing space for people to connect with their heritage, learn about others, and ensure that a rich tapestry of cultures continue to flourish into the future.
