Annual Native Pop Art Show returns to Rapid City
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Main Street Square will look a little busier than usual this weekend with the annual Native Pop Art Show coming into town starting Saturday.
The show runs through the weekend and provides native artists from all over the country the opportunity to showcase their artwork. The types of art on display range from musical performances to fashion to visual arts like painting or weaving. The show starts early at 9 a.m. on Saturday with over 30 artists setting up booths.
Musical performances will run throughout the weekend with Saturday closing out the night with a fashion show.
All performers and artists make this happen with one goal in mind, keeping their culture alive.
“It’s important for Native Americans to express their art and to show these different forms of identity because identity is something that has been taken from the community and building that back has been a generations-on-generation effort to redefine our identity and who we can be today as contemporary Native Americans,” Bert Malcom a talent organizer for Native Pop said.
Malcom just started organizing for Native Pop and says he is excited to watch the event grow for years to come.
