Sinew Fund is designed to fund Lakota visual creatives based anywhere in the United States to do project work in Lakota communities. Because of the importance of place and land to Lakota people, funded projects will occur within Lakota communities in current-day/so-called western South Dakota.
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
