NPN contributes to a more just and equitable world by building artists’ power; advancing racial and cultural justice in the arts; fostering relationship-building and reciprocity between individuals, institutions and communities; and working towards systems change in arts and philanthropy. We envision a world in which: • artist have greater power and resources for meaningful, sustainable careers; • strong networks maximize their collective wisdom, resources and leadership; • cultural infrastructure reflects deeper partnerships and more equitable practices; • and communities have greater opportunity and capacity for civic engagement, representation and joy.
