It's been such a hectic week - covering the World Series in San Francisco and taking in a handful of film premieres screening locally - that it has been a challenge to keep up with all the cultural events underway over the next week to ten days.
However, I would definitely be remiss, if I failed to publish a quick post on one high-profile event taking place this weekend at the Gene Autry Center.
185 Native American artists from around the country representing more than 40 tribes will be on hand show and discuss tribal traditions and offer up examples of eclectic examples of their contemporary art forms
The annual event is the largest Indian marketplace in Southern California showcases featuring 185 top artists and performers in a family-friendly setting.
The 30,000-square-foot Marketplace includes performances by Native dancers, musicians, and storytellers, plus other musical acts throughout the weekend.
The slated program will also feature hands-on activities for children and artist demonstrations.
Native American food including frybread will be available to munch on and savor!
Visuals include: Full-size Lakota tipi, Pow Wow dancers, large and small scale paintings and sculptures, colorful traditional and contemporary stone and silver jewelry. Demonstrations of weaving, painting, flint knapping, soapstone carving, mask making, gourd art, and traditional jewelry-making.
Audio includes: Flute playing, drumming, traditional singing, storytelling.
This is also the last weekend to see the exhibition:
The Art of Native American Basketry: A Living Tradition.
