Native American Artists' Marketplace March 13, 2009

Twenty Native artists and art dealers from the Great Lakes region and beyond are planning to exhibit at the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian’s annual Artists’ Marketplace on Saturday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, March 15, from noon to 4 p.m., at the museum, 3001 Central St., Evanston.

Artists will be selling works ranging from charcoal drawings, ceramics, cornhusk dolls, baskets, and beadwork to jewelry, paintings, feather work, sculpture, and more.

Visitors also will see examples of less-familiar Native art forms like birch bark biting, in which the artist makes teeth marks to create pattern designs on folded tree bark, and moose tufting, in which tufts of moose fur are shaped and dyed to look like flowers.
