Pathways Cohort (2024)

I found it really inspiring when learning about other spaces that have been in my position and have overcome any adversity to find successful solutions. My experience in the Pathways cohort has given me valuable insight to develop a better overall plan in making my space a reality.

The 2024 Pathways cohort!

Pathways is a year-long cohort program that works with selected Native American communities to develop and implement strategies that leverage existing cultural and creative assets and support the development and sustainability of arts and cultural spaces. In December 2023, Artspace welcomed 9 Native organizations into the program.
