Pino Nuche Indigenous Art Market and Juried Show

The Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum hosts the Pino Nuche Indigenous Art Market and Juried Show from August 7 to 9, 2026 at the Sky Ute Casino and Resort in Ignacio, Colorado. The event provides Native artists with a 9’ × 9’ booth that includes an 8’ table and two chairs, with optional electricity for an additional $25. Artists must be enrolled members of a federally recognized tribe and provide proof of tribal membership (CIB or enrollment number). Registration is open for non‑juried market participants until August 7, 2026 (regular fee $175 per booth; early‑bird $150 closed). The juried show registration closed on July 3, 2026, but the market remains open for vendors. Participants must be present for the full three days to be eligible for juried‑show awards, which include cash prizes such as $1,500 for Best of Show and $550‑$900 for category awards. A block of discounted rooms is reserved at the Sky Ute Casino for participating artists, with a discount code provided after payment. The market offers exposure to collectors, sales opportunities, and the chance to win awards, while artists are responsible for their own artwork, display equipment, and sales logistics. The event is an annual (recurring) competition for Indigenous artists.
