As an initiative of The Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI), All My Relations Arts’ mission is to honor and strengthen relationships between contemporary American Indian artists and the living influence of preceding generations, between artists and audiences of all ethnic backgrounds, and between art and soul of the neighborhood. NACDI is committed to transforming the urban American Indian community to effectively respond to 21st century opportunities and challenges. NACDI’s focus is on the American Indian Cultural Corridor along Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. All My Relations Arts presents the work of American Indian contemporary fine artists and hosts events showcasing the beauty and strength of art of all kinds from Native America.

All My Relations has a history in the Twin Cities as the premiere contemporary American Indian fine arts organization with an audience of 3000 annually at events and exhibits in the neighborhood. In 2011 NACDI opened the new All My Relations Arts Gallery at 1414 Franklin Avenue, the heart of the American Indian Cultural Corridor.
