Indigenous Art Market & Evening Fashion Show

Indigenous Art Market

Our 2nd annual Indigenous Art Market was a huge success. Thank you to all of the vendors that exhibited their work at our outdoor market! We’d like to send a big shout out to DJ Tribal Touch (Shawn Martinez, Entertainment Director of the Phoenix Suns) for playing music to pump up the crowds as they did their shopping and supported our Indigenous small businesses and artists!

Community Fashion Showcase

Our Indigenous community members are amazing! Thank you to all who attended our 2^nd Annual Indigenous Fashion Showcase. We were so blown away by the talent, design work and handcrafted artistry of our Native American designers who participated in this year’s Community Fashion Showcase. We had a call for local creators to enter and model one piece of their work to be judged against others in their category. Thank you to our judges, Robert Black, Shaliyah Ben, and Joanne Miles-Long.
