Every late fall for about a decade, the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) has hosted a free annual holiday art market. This year’s is Saturday, December 14, and includes some 110 artists.
IAIA Director of Communications Jason S. Ordaz says the market offers something for everyone and for all budgets. “We have artists who are working in textiles,” he says. “We’ve also had ribbon shirts and skirts, stickers, beadwork, pottery, glass work. We’ve even had people who work in metal, stainless steel, silver, bronze, and gold.”
The market is not juried, as opposed to the SWAIA Indian Market. However, to be true to the institute’s mission of supporting artists through different stages of their creative journey — including students as well as alumni who are now working artists — IAIA opens each year’s market registration in stages, Ordaz says.
