This award is significant to my ability to teach and continue sharing traditional Mexican folk dancing in Idaho.

We appreciate the work of [Creative West] and consider it high value. As the most remote location on the planet (Hawaii), WESTAF keeps us in touch.

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!

ZAPP has taken the application and jury process and simplified it, saving approximately 50% of the previous system's working hours.

From the first time that we used CaFÉ we were absolutely thrilled. We were able to access a greater number and variety of artists, locally, regionally and nationally. From using calls for individual artists to calls for juried shows we were impressed with the vast improvement in the quality of art we were able to show in our gallery.

Of all the gatherings and convenings I engage in each year, I truly look forward to this the most. Thank you.
