NATIVE AMERICAN & INDIGENOUS ARTIST PURCHASE INITIATIVE
Only two weeks left to apply for the New Mexico Arts’ Art in Public Places program, the 2026 US Native American and Indigenous Artists Purchase Initiative (Prospectus #292). The goal of this initiative is to diversify the state’s public art collection by purchasing artwork from artists in all stages of their careers. The project is open to all artists residing in the United States as well as galleries in this region. Although this initiative is open to all artists, special consideration shall be given to artists who identify as members of a Native American tribe or community.
Galleries may submit qualifications on behalf of any artist represented by the gallery, regardless of the artist’s residency, so long as the artist identifies as a member of a Native American tribe or community.
Seeking artwork in the $5,000 – $50,000 price range.
AIPP Purchase Initiatives are managed through the (CaFE platform).
Artists and their galleries will be able to submit up to three artworks per artist for consideration.
The application is open for two more weeks. Deadline: November 1, 2026
