SACRED Arts Festival presented by Running Strong for American Indian Youth is a two-day event in the heart of Sacramento that will celebrate Native art, culture, and community. Immerse yourself in live mural painting. Join us for indigenous film screenings and live musical performances. Explore vendor booths showcasing crafts, jewelry, and art. Discover local Sacramento food and beverage. We are creating a platform to honor and represent Native artists and communities, while sharing the richness of Native culture and contemporary art with the wider public.
Native artists are valuable contributors to the American art world as they protect and sustain their culture, and connect Indigenous traditions and perspectives to a modern, ever changing and challenging world. Running Strong is proud to support Native artists and communities as they share their work, preserve their traditions, gain exposure and claim space in the art world. We invite you to join us in our inaugural year of SACRED Arts Festival.
