There is NO FEE for Native/Indigenous membership. ICSWA’s annual membership requires a community trade. Members share skills via participation in workshops and mentorship programs- or through blocks of volunteer hours for a total of 15 hours annually.

ICSWA provides representation for Indigenous tradespeople, artisans, and craft workers across the creative industries. Our goal is to amplify Indigenous voices by establishing a strong presence within larger, mainstream unions and organizations. Together, IWAE and allies create effective advocacy for all members.

Membership includes access to regional networking events, workshops, and mentorships. Become part of a strong Indigenous creative network, and learn new skills while connecting with both Native and non Native Ally members.

ICSWA offers an internal directory for members to find each other. Connect with other experienced Indigenous/Native cast, crew, traditional artisans, artists and allies to enhance whatever project you are working on.
