Over 30 local and regional Indigenous artists will showcase and sell their work and will present talks, demos, and workshops at the Native Art Market at the Arts + Literature Laboratory on Saturday, Nov. 16, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Admission to the Native Art Market is free and open to the public. Artist demonstrations will also take place throughout the day.
The Native Art Market was established in 2023 to provide public education on Indigenous culture and professional benefits to Indigenous artists. The 2024 edition of the Native Art Market will contribute to the economic health of Native communities by paying artists for teaching and providing an opportunity to sell their work.
Additional programs will take place throughout the weekend. On Friday, Nov. 15, artist and Native Art Market co-founder Paige Skenandore will lead a Porcupine Quill Jewelry Workshop from 5-8 p.m. in the third floor Education Studio at ALL (registration required). And several participants in the Native Art Market will present a series of artist talks in the first floor galleries starting at 7 p.m.
Finally, on Sunday, Nov. 17, 1-4 p.m., artist Liandra Skenandore will lead a Black Ash Plaited Basket workshop (registration required) at Textile Arts Center of Madison, 2436 Pennsylvania Avenue.
