Indigenous Art Market & Festival

Salt Lake City's Best Indigenous Art Market

Thank you to all our wonderful artists and guests who made the 2026 Indigenous Art Market & Festival such a success. It will return in October 2027 and we will post more details here when available.  

NHMU’s Indigenous Art Market & Festival has grown into a cherished annual tradition — one that draws some of the nation’s most gifted Native American artists to Salt Lake City. The festival is a lively celebration of Indigenous culture and art built around a vibrant market selling the best in Indigenous art and jewelry.

• Shop fine jewelry, pottery, beadwork, sculptures, paintings, and more — all proceeds stay with the artists
• Enjoy Native American music, dance performances, and artist demonstrations
• Meet Native knowledge keepers and NHMU anthropologists as they share collections objects

See a full list of participating artists below. 

Access to the market and festival are included with regular museum admission, which is free for Museum Members. Museum Members also get exclusive early access to shop the market at 9 a.m.

About NHMU's Indigenous Art Market & Festival

Since its inception in 2013, NHMU’s Indigenous Art Market & Festival has grown into a cherished annual tradition—one that draws some of the nation’s most gifted Native American artists to Salt Lake City. Over the years, artists from more than 25 tribes have shared their stories, heritage, and artistry, creating a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary Indigenous expression at the Museum.

Visitors are invited to explore and purchase one-of-a-kind works—from intricate beadwork and handwoven textiles to masterfully crafted pottery, jewelry, and paintings. But this event is more than a market; it’s a chance to connect with living traditions, to hear directly from artists who are not only creating breathtaking art but also preserving and passing on cultural knowledge.

Every year, 100 percent of proceeds go directly to the artists, supporting their work and honoring their contributions.
