The upcoming Santa Monica Indian Art Show features a wide range
of collectible contemporary and antique Native American art Jan. 10 and 11 at
the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (Pico/Main), Santa Monica.
Considered
to be a cultural arts classroom, this two-day event is sponsored by KR
Martindale Show Management and will feature one-of-a -kind historic and present
day objects of art, including Guatemalan masks, Southwestern kachinas, Plains
Indian beadwork, Pacific Northwest carvings, Spanish Colonial and Pre-Columbian
art.
The show also highlights some of today's most exciting award
winning artists, sculptors, and jewelers, including Andrew Redhorse Alvarez,
Cliff Fragua, Ronald Chee, and Baje Whitethorne.
Special performances
include the Emmy award winning music of Xavier Quijas Xyaotl, and a Storytelling
Festival both days with native Southern California Indian storytellers Ernest
Siva and Ted and Dennis Garcia.
In a modern day gallery setting, more
than 85 knowledgeable antique dealers and contemporary Native American artists
will be on hand to talk about the items they bring to the show. In some cases,
the items may be the only remaining art materials of an indigenous society.
Contemporary artists will also be available to discuss their rich artistic
traditions. No sacred items will be displayed or sold.
