Join Us Aug 13 - 15, 2026!
During the world's largest Indigenous art market, Better Way Foundation will convene a select group of philanthropic leaders for an immersive and inspiring three-day experience. We invite any foundations not yet supporting Indigenous communities to join us to learn about the unique cultural challenges they have faced and continue to struggle with from their own leaders, organizers, and artists. Indigenous leaders and innovators are working to advance community-ridden solutions — from classrooms to clinics to farms, and together we can help amplify the momentum being made.
