Programs & Services

We offer a range of programs and services to meet the growing needs of our artists and artisans

Many programs exist that Cree artists can apply for, namely from CALQ, SODEC, Canada Council for the Arts, and others. However, most artists are not aware of these programs. CNACA would act as a one-stop-shop for artists seeking funding; the CNACA Program Officer can help determine which grants an artist is eligible for, and would offer his help in filling out application documents.

  • Training and education program

    CNACA has successfully conducted a variety of popular training sessions in the past years: moose hide tanning training, sewing and tamarack decoy building. To keep traditional skills alive, it is important that CNACA continues offering such training on traditional skills in the various communities, at least once a year.

  • Arts Promotion Program

    Our studies highlights the need for artists to break their isolation and meet each other more often to network and discuss on their artistic practice and to showcase and sell their work. Indeed, opportunities to market and diffuse their work are lacking, and CNACA wants to fill in that gap by organizing yearly gatherings for artists to promote their work and meet each other. The gathering would take place in the shape of a traveling Cultural Festival, including a trade show, in which Cree artists would be valorized and recognized through an Awards Ceremony.

    Also CNACA will organize an annual trip to a professional national/international tradeshow. CNACA will select 1-3 different Cree authentic art each year to focus on and market in the tradeshow industry. Past trade shows include: Salon des metiers d’arts (Montreal), Canadian Aboriginal Festival (Toronto), Home and Cottage Show (Montreal).
