We are creating a platform to honor and represent Native artists and communities, while sharing the richness of Native culture and contemporary art with the wider public.
Running Strong for American Indian Youth was was co-founded in 1986 by Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota) who dreamt of uplifting Native Communities. Running Strong’s involvement now reaches dozens of tribal communities in more than 30 states with focus areas including clean water access, critical needs, food sovereignty and security, cultural preservation, youth programming, and arts and culture support.
We are excited to continue expanding our mission, and our footprint by presenting the first ever
SACRED Arts Festival in Sacramento this Spring.
“Native artists are valuable contributors to the contemporary American art world and protectors of their traditions and culture. Running Strong is proud to support Native American artists and Northern California tribal communities,” states Sydney Mills-Farhang (Oglala Lakota), Executive Director of Running Strong.
