The Ventures Program has helped sponsor a number of LCAA regional events that included the participation of over 100 experienced Lummi Indian cultural and performance artists.  The LCAA exhibits resulted in $50,000 in sales by LCAA members who also participated in performance arts events, the presentation of Native oral histories, and traditional storytelling for the general public.

More importantly, the LCAA is a means for cultivating Lummi cultural arts to preserve and perpetuate cultural identity, strengthen the ties between families and generations, and promote economic self-sufficiency.
