Celebrate contemporary and traditional Native art at the Autry Museum of the American West’s 13th annual American Indian Arts Marketplace, which will be held virtually this year on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 14 and 15.
Purchase one-of-a-kind artwork and view films, talks and a live virtual Short Play Festival from Native Voices, the Autry’s resident theater company. All events are free.
The online marketplace includes artists from across the country selling sculptures, pottery, beadwork, basketry, photography, paintings, jewelry, textiles, wooden carvings and mixed-media works. All transactions, including payment and shipping, will be made directly with the artists, with them receiving all proceeds.
The event will also include prerecorded artist and keynote talks, film programming from Indigenous directors, a new episode of “Tending Nature” from KCET, a digital version of the Autry’s latest exhibition “When I Remember I See Red,” a short documentary on the marketplace and the Native Voices Artists Ensemble’s live presentation of the 10th annual Short Play Festival, titled “More Than Moccasins.”
The marketplace will be held on Nov. 14, from, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The one-day digital engagement will be held through Hopin, a live online events platform where attendees can learn, interact and connect with Native artists. Hopin’s Expo area will feature live digital booths where event goers can virtually “walk around” and directly engage with artists. For information and to register, visit theautry.org/marketplace.
The Native Voices’ Short Play Festival will be held on Nov. 14 and 15, at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom. The talks and other programs will be available on-demand all weekend. A program with Autry President and CEO, W. Richard West Jr., and Vice President of Native Collections and Ahmanson Curator of Native American History and Culture Joe D. Horse Capture will cover related to Native arts and culture. Screenings, salon conversations and artists talks will also be featured.
