NPN serves as fiscal agent to a number of New Orleans-based artist projects and individual artists. We invest in artists and their careers, collaborate and foster engagement among our 100+ organizations, offer leadership development and capacity building and work toward more equitable cultural policies and practices across the arts sector.

We Are On Native Land

Through this conference, we gather together on the ancestral lands of the Atakapa-Ishak, Caddo, Chitimacha, Choctaw, Houma, Natchez, and Tunica peoples, and the petites nations. We also recognize the Alabama, Biloxi, Koasati, and Ofo peoples, and others who were pushed into Louisiana from their ancestral lands. We invite all attending the conference to learn with us about the Native and Indigenous peoples, histories, and present-day communities in Louisiana.
