INDIANAPOLIS — The Eiteljorg Museum’s 29th annual Indian Market and Festival this year will be a virtual experience, where guests can shop online for beautiful jewelry, pottery, paintings and other artworks created by 100 Native American and First Nations artists from the U.S. and Canada. Running from June 14 to 28, the Virtual Indian Market features music, dance performances and cultural presentations, including Grammy Award-winning musician Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida).
This year’s event is entirely free. Eiteljorg.org/IndianMarketandFestival is the online hub to shop for Native artworks directly from the artists, enjoy the performances, download family activities and learn more about Native artists and their cultures.
Artists are invited to participate through a juried selection and must be members of a federally or state recognized tribe. Many of the artists also submit their pieces for judging as part of the juried art competition. Ribbons and cash prizes are presented to winning artists in multiple divisions. In past years, nearly $25,000 in prize money has been awarded to artists.
Fans can find a complete schedule and watch all the free performances at Eiteljorg.org/IndianMarketandFestival.
