More than 120 native artists from around the country will be stopping by the Eiteljorg Museum downtown for the 31st annual Eiteljorg Indian Market & Festival on June 24-25.

Inside and outside the museum, you’ll find pottery, jewelry, beadwork, weavings, carvings, and paintings for sale by members of state-recognized tribes. Artists will also be competing in a juried art competition over the weekend with a cash prize in various categories.

Performances by family dance company Yellow Bird Dancers, multimedia artist Firefly the Hybrid, and other artists will take place throughout the festival. Traditional food like fry bread will be available from a number of food trucks parked outside.

Haven’t had a chance to check out the reimagined “Expressions of Life: Native Art in North America” galleries yet? Now’s your chance. Admission is included with your tickets, which go on sale starting Monday, May 1.
