Description
Centered on direct engagement with artists and their work, the Marketplace reflects Native art as a living practice—grounded in tradition and continuously evolving in contemporary forms. At its core, the Marketplace is an opportunity to meet artists, learn about their work, and engage directly with the materials, techniques, and perspectives that shape contemporary Native art.
