As part of Indigenous People’s Day, ArtCenter is thrilled to host Sam McCracken, visionary of Nike’s N7 programs, and Lauren Thomas, Nike 3D Expert Designer, for a Fireside Chat.

McCracken is behind Nike N7, launches and collections that honor and embody the values, stories and diversity of Indigenous traditions and craft. In addition to driving 25+ unique product collections and brand stories for the N7 product line, McCracken manages the N7 fund, which has awarded over $8M in grants creating access to sport for 500,000+ Native American and Indigenous youth.

Thomas takes great pride in representing her cultural heritage at Nike, serving as the design director for N7 and design lead on Nike’s Native American Network leadership team.

All are welcome! students, staff, faculty, alumni and friends of ArtCenter.
