Projects

Art That Feeds began with fans donating food at concerts in exchange for event posters created by world-class artists. It has since evolved into our overall project philosophy. We support projects on economically isolated Native American reservations that feed not only the body, but feed the mind and spirit as well.

‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drives

We use art as the incentive to inspire people to donate to our cause. Concertgoers who participate in our Food Drives receive a Limited Edition Concert Poster for making the suggested donation of 10 or more non-perishable food items, or a recommended monetary donation. The artist, who retains creative control over the image, donates the [...]

Each workshop will be [...]

Each Thanksgiving Season we host our Annual Holiday Meal Delivery, taking place every year in November. Due to your overwhelming support last year, Conscious Alliance was able to send teams to both the Northern Cheyenne and Pine Ridge Reservations to deliver a truck full of healthy food to each community.

Ft. Robinson Run

Every January, Conscious Alliance sponsors the Fort Robinson Outbreak Spiritual Run, a 400-mile journey from Fort Robinson, Nebraska to Busby, Montana. Coordinated by Phillip Whiteman Jr. and Lynette Two Bulls (yellowbirdinc.org) from their home in Lame Deer, Montana, the run was created to pay homage to those Northern Cheyenne ancestors that broke out of Fort [...]

Lakota Drum Workshop

In 2011, Conscious Alliance began sponsoring a drum workshop on Pine Ridge Reservation. The workshop is designed as a four-week program for 4th – 8th graders, and travels to multiple schools around the reservation throughout the year. Participants of the workshop learn the traditional Lakota way of making a hand drum, and gather and prepare all [...]

Uniting Youth with Urban Method

Conscious Alliance is excited to partner with the all-vocal hip hop group Urban Method, the Colorado based nonprofit organization the Stronghold Society, and local youth to create a movement through the power of music and collaboration. Under the direction of Urban Method—who is currently competing on NBC’s singing competition show The Sing Off — Native American and non-Native youth will join forces to share in a ‘Live Life Call To Action’ message through music, which will inspire and unite this generation to live life at its grandest. This message: You Thrive, I Thrive, We Thrive.
