Native Arts + Cultures Foundation (NACF), in partnership with ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, will host two free financial literacy trainings for students and the broader creative community.

Designed by and for young artists, CYGs support Arizonans, ages 12-17, as they develop new skills or advance their artistic practice outside the traditional school day. This may include paying for lessons, attending a workshop, or paying for supplies and equipment.

“Over the course of her career, Dr. Tohe has distinguished herself as a poet, librettist, and writer of both fiction and nonfiction. She is a storyteller whose words reflect the heart, history, and hopes of our state. As Poet Laureate, Dr. Tohe will continue Arizona’s tradition of creativity and help inspire the next generation of writers.”

Today, Southwest Folklife Alliance announced the 2025 recipients of their Master-Apprentice Award! The annual award offers direct support to master traditional artists living in Arizona to pass on art, culture, and heritage practices to apprentice learners.
