Programs
At Native Guitars Tour, we create experiences that celebrate Indigenous creativity, culture, and innovation while bringing communities together through music, art, fashion, storytelling, and connection.
For 19 years, we’ve worked with festivals, nonprofits, businesses, institutions, and communities to develop programming that creates meaningful experiences and opportunities for Indigenous artists, youth, entrepreneurs, and audiences.
Music & Event Production
From intimate acoustic performances to full-scale concerts and festivals, we connect organizations and communities with Indigenous musicians and artists from across Turtle Island. Our team can support artist booking, stage production, sound, lighting, artist coordination, and overall event production.
Fashion & Creative Programming
We create opportunities for Indigenous designers, models, stylists, artists, and creative teams through fashion shows, showcases, runway experiences, and collaborative creative projects. Our programming highlights the diversity, innovation, and cultural expression of Indigenous fashion.
Cultural Programming & Keynotes
We bring Indigenous musicians, speakers, storytellers, and cultural creatives into conferences, gatherings, festivals, and community events through performances, presentations, conversations, and cultural programming designed to connect with audiences.
Youth Leadership & Creative Pathways
We share what we’ve learned from nearly two decades of building NGT with the next generation. Through workshops, mentorship, leadership development, and hands-on creative experiences, we help young people explore their creativity, culture, leadership, and future opportunities.
We believe the knowledge we gain from building community should be shared with the next generation so they can carry their cultural values into their workplaces, schools, creative careers, and daily lives.
Artist Development & Professional Opportunities
NGT creates opportunities for Indigenous artists to perform, collaborate, learn, build professional experience, and connect with new audiences. Through our #PayTheArtist commitment, mentorship, workshops, showcases, and professional development opportunities, we work to strengthen the Indigenous creative economy.
Native-Owned Business & Vendor Markets
We create platforms for Indigenous entrepreneurs, artists, makers, and small businesses to connect with new audiences. Our markets and vendor programs create economic opportunities while maintaining welcoming community spaces where cultural values, creativity, and entrepreneurship can thrive.
Media & Digital Storytelling
We amplify Indigenous voices through digital programming, interviews, livestreams, podcasts, and original storytelling. From NGT Open Mic Night and NGT Café to Behind the Mask and artist features, our media work creates year-round opportunities for artists and keeps our community connected beyond the stage.
Community Festivals & Experiences
We create community-centered experiences that bring music, art, fashion, wellness, culture, and storytelling together. From individual activations to multi-day festivals and multi-city programs, we help turn ideas into experiences that connect people and build community.
Community Partnerships & Creative Collaborations
Some of our most meaningful work happens when we build bridges between communities. We collaborate with businesses, nonprofits, cultural organizations, festivals, institutions, and other creative partners to develop projects that create new opportunities for Indigenous artists and bring communities together.
More Than an Event
For 19 years, Native Guitars Tour has been building bridges through Indigenous creativity.
Our work creates opportunities for artists, youth, Native-owned businesses, and communities while connecting Indigenous and multicultural audiences. We bring our experience, relationships, creative network, and community-centered approach to every collaboration.
