Native Art Market on Saturday is part of four-day celebration of Indigenous artists
Ahead of Saturday's 2024 Native Art Market, the Art + Literature Laboratory is holding a number of events celebrating and supporting local and regional Indigenous culture and heritage.
On Thursday, New Mexico silversmith Joe Mace (Diné) led a jewelry stamping workshop, while Paige Skenandore will lead a workshop on porcupine quill jewelry Friday evening.
At 6 p.m. Friday, there will be panel discussion about Indigenous design, including "understanding the inclusion and revitalization of Indigenous visual sovereignty."
Held for the first time last year, the Native Art Market will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Art Lit Lab, 111. S. Livingston St., Suite 100. About 30 artists will be there to discuss their crafts and to sell their artwork.
Finally, from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Liandra Skenandore will lead a Black Ash Plaited Basket workshop at the Textile Arts Center of Madison, 2436 Pennsylvania Ave. Registration is required for that event.
