Driving the Market: Award Winning Native Contemporary Art

Driving the Market will spotlight award-winning artists and pieces from prestigious Native art markets, including those hosted by the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (SWAIA) in Santa Fe, the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, and the Heard Museum in Phoenix. 

Each art market has its own unique character, offering attendees a chance to experience a wide array of contemporary Native art, meet the artists, and purchase their works directly. These markets are more than just commercial events; they are cultural gatherings where artists collaborate, innovate, and draw inspiration, fostering a dynamic sense of community.
