With support from the California Arts Council, Barcid Foundation will bring together a collection of experienced Native American artists and community members to foster a new and genuine approach to portraying Native Americans in the media arts.
The Barcid Foundation offers genuine career building programs, workshops and additional opportunities that advance Native American artists and youth. We have developed successful relationships with tribes, art foundations, studios and networks to offer career building art initiatives for Native Americans.
Our programs have proven to offer a genuine return on investment for our partners by developing Native American artists who have the creative capacity to compete and join the professionals ranks in the film, television and new media arenas. In 2020, our programs provided numerous new employment opportunities for the Native American community. This included writing positions on several current television series for studios and networks that include Netflix, Amazon, Sony and several more.
The Barcid Foundation forged a strong relationship with tribes, Native American organizations and Native American leaders. This gives our organization credible standing in indigenous communities and the opportunity to lead on its behalf.
Our goal is to have Native Americans be a part of the ever changing and burgeoning artist landscape. This will offer the opportunity to find new, diverse and original voices. At the same time, the Native American community will be able to grow, learn and develop as a genuine part of the artistic world.
