Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival Memorial Day Weekend

Please join us at Native Treasures: Indian Arts Festival, Santa Fe’s only museum-quality Indian art show. Presented by the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Native Treasures features over 140 Native American artists, who are specially invited by the Museum to represent the best and brightest of the Indian art world. In fact, many of the artists at Native Treasures are included in the Museum's permanent collection.

Participating artists represent a wide range of tribes and pueblos. This is a terrific opportunity to find high-quality pieces by both the established masters and the best of the emerging artists.

Held on the spectacular plaza at Museum Hill, Native Treasures: Indian Arts Festival benefits the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. Each artist generously donates a portion of sales to the Museum’s programs.  So you can support your favorite artists and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture at the same time!

Native Treasures: Indian Arts Festival is held outdoors under tents. In addition to meeting the artists and shopping for beautiful art, enjoy music and entertainment throughout the weekend. In 2008, Cowgirl BBQ and Western Grill will provide food, and the Museum Hill Café is open both days.

Look for fabulous entertainment on Saturday and Sunday!
