NACF Spends Time with 2010 Alaska Grantees During Spring Board Meeting in Anchorage

During the May meeting of the NACF’s Board of Directors in Anchorage, the staff and board of the NACF met with four of six of the Foundation’s 2010 grantees: conceptual artist Sonya Kelliher-Combs (Inupiaq/Athabascan); dancer and choreographer Emily Johnson (Yup’ik); the Alaska Native Heritage Center (Anchorage); and the Alutiiq Museum (Kodiak). “Words cannot express how much we enjoyed meeting with some of our Alaska grantees – it was a highlight of our visit,” said T. Lulani Arquette, NACF President and CEO. “Being able to spend time with them brought home to all of us the continued importance of the NACF mission, which is to nurture and support the creative spirit in our Native communities.”
