33rd Arts Show Preserves American Indian Arts and Culture

After taking two years off to protect the health of our people, the Northern Plains Indian Art Market is proud to announce our return for our 33rd year. This continues the tradition of celebrating world-class American Indian art, from September 23-25, in Sioux Falls. Northern Plains Indian Art Market is an international gathering of American Indian artists—those who work in contemporary fine arts and those who create art using traditional materials, methods and styles. Once again, the event showcases more than 30 professional artists and features local artists such as: Keith Brave Heart, Don Montileaux, Jim Yellow Hawk, Dwayne Wilcox, Jennifer White, Lynn Burnette, and Richard Red Owl.

“I am so proud to be involved with the Northern Plains Indian Art Market. This thirtythird show is special because it gives us a chance to reconnect with artist and friends and return to celebrating the history and artists who have come before us. And as always, we look forward to the work of new and emerging artists who continually bring new vitality to American Indian art.” said Debra Bordeaux, Vice President of Student Studies at Sinte Gleska University, and an organizer for the art market.
