Intertribal Arts Marketplace at the Autry National Center
in Los Angeles near Griffith Park and LA Zoo brings together more than 130 Native American artists from around the country.
For collectors and shoppers, this is California's and the West Coast's premier
event. Jewelry, sculptures, paintings, mixed-media works, weaving,
pottery, beadwork, woodcarvings, and cultural items that are proudly made in the
USA. Native artists not only take great pride in their work, but often
have gone through a unique form of training passed down through generations.
This event will be an
art competition with awards given to
artists in various categories such as beadwork, jewelry, painting, sculpture,
pottery, and weaving. Best in Show receives the Jackie Autry Purchase Award,
which allows the winning piece to become part of the Autry National Center’s
permanent collection. Visitors will be able to see the 2007 prize-winning
entries on display at the individual artists’ booths and speak to all the
participating artists about their craft.
Throughout the
weekend, hoop dancers, traditional dance and song,
storytelling and musical acts will entertain and educate those seeking an
authentic cultural experience. The public is invited to tour the Autry’s latest
Native-themed exhibition, Picturing the
People, on view in the Showcase Gallery through January 27, 2008.
Visitors can also enjoy Native food or stay for an early dinner at the Golden
Spur Cafe. For more information, call 323.667.2000, ext. 322.
