Native Arts Expo 5
What began as a way to showcase Native Artists has grown into an event that not only exhibits art and culture, but educates the public about indigenous perspectives and what "authentic" Native art means.
The Native Arts Expo brings emerging and experienced Native Artists to the forefront and offers an opportunity for attendees to learn about traditional and contemporary Native Art in an intimate setting.
In addition to the exhibition, there will be traditional and contemporary performances, workshops, and guest speakers.
