Celebrate Indigenous Creativity & Entrepreneurship

As part of LodgePole Arts Alliance’s 3rd Annual National Indigenous Presenters’ Gathering: The Art of Visiting, we are excited to host the Art of Visiting Makers Market on Tuesday, October 7, 2026.

The Makers Market celebrates Indigenous creativity and entrepreneurship while showcasing the work of local and regional Indigenous artists and makers. It offers Gathering participants and the wider Ka’tarohkwi community an opportunity to connect directly with Indigenous artists, discover their work, and support Indigenous creative businesses.

The Art of Visiting Makers Market is open to the public.
