Returning for its 31st year, the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival will run from June 24-25 at the Eiteljorg Museum, 500 W. Washington St., Indianapolis.

Nearly 120 Native artists from across the U.S. and Canada will be at the museum to sell pottery, jewelry, beadwork, weavings, paintings, carvings and more, as well as presenting cultural performances through music, dance and storytelling.

“Since its inception in 1993, the annual Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market and Festival has grown in stature to become one of the top Native American art markets in the country, as well as a must-do event on the downtown Indianapolis summer calendar. Artists, performers and thousands of market-goers and art buyers have come together at the Eiteljorg to celebrate Native arts and cultures,” said Alisa Nordholt-Dean, vice president for public programs and Beeler family director of education at the Eiteljorg.
