The Woodland Indian Art Show and Market wishes to expand the awareness and appreciation of Woodland art and culture through education, events, and markets. This annual event celebrates Woodland Indian art, a unique and evocative style deeply rooted in the traditions and stories of Native American Tribes from the Great Lakes region. The natural surroundings echo the themes often found in Woodland Indian art, where the flowers and plants of the area are intricately woven into the designs.
The Show and Market are organized by the Woodland Indian Art Board, a community-based non-profit organization created to expand the awareness and appreciation of Woodland Indian Arts and Culture through education, events and markets. They bring Woodland Indian Artists together to raise awareness of the distinct artistic styles and cultures of the upper Midwest and northeastern regions of the United States and Canada. They contribute to the growing economy through sales of their artwork.
The headquarters of the Woodland Indian Art Market is located on the Oneida Nation on the Wisconsin Reservation, 15 miles or a 20-minute drive from the bustling city of Green Bay.
The Woodland Indian Art Board has produced an annual Show and Market for over eight consecutive years. Visitors come from across the country to experience its profound works of art and heritage. You will find booths brimming with hand-crafted birch bark baskets, intricate beadwork, quillwork, pottery, clothing and more available. Visitors can learn about the unique culture and history of the artists through classes, silent auctions, youth art shows, juried art competitions and music performances.
The Woodland Indian Art Market is more than just an event; it’s a bridge between past and present, offering a rare opportunity to see the enduring legacy of the Woodland Tribes through their art.
