INDIANAPOLIS – One of the nation’s top Native American art markets returns June 22 and 23 when the 32nd annual Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival takes place at the Eiteljorg Museum in downtown Indianapolis. Nearly 150 Native artists from across the United States and Canada will show and sell their beautiful art, such as jewelry, pottery, basketry, sculpture, weavings and paintings.
Onstage in the museum’s courtyard under The Sails on the Downtown Canal, music and dance will be a big part of the market experience, with multiple acts on both days with Native connections.

A two-day adult weekend pass is $30 in advance or $40 at the gate. Eiteljorg members get in free; a membership card-holder can bring two adult guests for $20 each. Admission to the market includes the museum and all current exhibitions.
Market hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Free parking is available while spaces last in the White River State Park underground garage.
