PHOENIX--The early deadline for Native Americans to reserve space to display their artwork at the 29th Annual Indian Market, set for Dec. 10-11 at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix, is August 31, according to Market Director Isaac Curley.
Typically, more than 400 artists representing over 60 Indian Nations from the United States and Canada attend the annual event which benefits the 76-year-old Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, located at 4619 E. Washington Street in Phoenix.
Pueblo Grande Museum is a National Historic Landmark that sits on the site of a 1,500-year-old ancient Hohokam village.
“We expect a number of new artists this year and that’s what keeps the Indian Market exciting,” said Curley.
Artwork traditionally displayed at the Indian Market ranges from paintings, sculptures and jewelry to pottery, Kachina dolls and a host of other items. Prices begin at just a few dollars and can go as high as thousands. In addition to the artwork, market visitors will enjoy a variety of other events, contests hands-on fun and authentic food.
According to Curley, the fee is $250 if paid by August 31, but the fee increases to $300 after the deadline. For individuals wishing to share a booth, the additional charge is $100.
