Thank you to the artists, collectors, members, volunteers, and visitors who joined us for the 2026 American Indian Arts Marketplace.

For more than 35 years, the Marketplace has brought together Native artists from across North America to share and sell their work, connect directly with collectors and visitors, and celebrate the vitality of contemporary Native art and culture.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Juried Competition, including Holly Pyke (Mohawk), recipient of the Autry Purchase Award, and Jack Tom (Diné (Navajo)), winner of Best of Show.

Planning for the 2027 American Indian Arts Marketplace is already underway. Please check back for dates, artist applications, and additional information about next year's event.
