July 9-10
The 2011 Prescott Indian Art Market (PIAM) will be held on the tree-shaded grounds of the Sharlot Hall Museum on the weekend of July 9-10. The Museum’s flower-lined walkways and commemorative rose garden provide an inviting backdrop for the impressive display of Indian art.
The market features both traditional and contemporary works of art, including distinctive jewelry, exquisite ceramics, hand-woven baskets and blankets. PIAM has grown in reputation and quality into one of the premier Indian Art Markets offered in the Southwest. An all-Indian artist jury chooses participants on the basis of quality in both traditional and contemporary styles.
Visit with the artists in their booths and learn of the techniques and processes involved in creating their work. Stroll among demonstrators of American Indian weaving, Katsina carving and silversmithing. Observe the making of pottery, stone fetishes, baskets, and moccasins. Featured again this year is the Children’s Art Experience, which offers participants a workshop with leading American Indian artists (space limited; sign-up required).
Entertainment is provided throughout the weekend in the outdoor amphitheater by Native American dancers, singers, and musicians. A popular highlight is the mouthwatering Navajo Fry Bread.
