The Red Earth Festival is an exciting event featuring people representing over 100 tribes from across North America, gathering to share the richness of their cultures with the world. Over the years Red Earth has matured into one of the most respected visual and performing arts events of its type, setting the standard for many of today's Indian art shows. At Red Earth, guests can sample the work of some of the nation's most celebrated artists, with opportunities to purchase contemporary and traditional examples of bead work, basketry, jewelry, pottery, sculpture, paintings, graphics and cultural attire during the juried art show and market. The Red Earth Art Market opens Friday, June 18 at 11 a.m.
