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.
“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
