Address: 46501 Gualala Rd, Gualala, CA 95445
Native Arts Expo
Traditional or not, the majority of Native Americans living today are dealing with disenfranchised tribes, cultural genocide and loss of ancestral teachings for the younger generations. Through creative expression and sharing, these issues are brought to light through the art and voices of the Native American artists featured at the show, defining their indigenous identity on their own terms.
Artist Eric Wilder wanted to bring Native Artists, Native art resources and professional artists together to share their indigenous perspectives.
Location for 2017 TBD
