Celebrating 50 Years of Native Art
The Red Cloud Indian Art Show
The annual Red Cloud Indian Art Show is the largest and longest running Native American art show of its kind in the country, and one of only a few held on an Indigenous reservation hundreds of miles from any urban area.
Say Wut! by Molina Parker, winner of the Savage/Zuern Award for most innovative use of traditional methods and techniques.
Since 1969, the show has attracted thousands of visitors to The Heritage Center and the Pine Ridge Reservation to view impressive works of art by seasoned Native American professionals alongside young artists just beginning their careers. The annual show runs for ten weeks through the summer, and showcases more than 150 pieces in categories ranging from painting and photography to beadwork and quillwork. All artwork in the show is for available for purchase and can be shipped. The proceeds from each sale support individual artists as well as the work of The Heritage Center.
Shoshone Madonna II by Daniel McCoy, winner of the Br. CM Simon, SJ Award for artwork to be used for publicity for the following year's show.
