Thank you and si Yu'us Ma'asi for supporting Indigenous art and artists, and for giving me this opportunity to build a very special traditional canoe for our community!

Pete Perez

2024 BIPOC Artist Fund | Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands

It was an amazing experience that fueled me to work toward my goals in arts and culture. I hope that the connections we built throughout the last year will continue with support from the program. I'm grateful for all the work from the staff and am inspired by their passion for making a difference. The program certainly made a difference in my life.

Sam Zhang

23-24’ LoCF Fellow | Michigan

These funds will kick start a 2 year long process of become a Certified Economic Developer by the International Economic Development Council. My focus is on small business, entrepreneurship, placemaking, tech and how to finance small businesses including those in the creative economy. My goal is to obtain my credential over the next 2 years and transition in to a professional economic developer or chamber director role
