On Saturday, September 8, 2007, from 10 a.m. to 5 pm., the Denver Art Museum will host the 18th Annual Friendship Powwow, sponsored by Target. This free celebration of American Indian cultures has become a Denver tradition, featuring drum groups and American Indian dancers from the Denver area and the region.
Dancers will compete in a number of traditional Powwow dances including Fancy, Jingle, Grass and Traditional, with the colorful grand entry at noon.
Outside of the dance arena, visitors can enjoy family art-making activities inspired by the Museum’s internationally-renowned American Indian art collection, storytelling and additional dance performances. American Indian arts and crafts and authentic foods, including Indian tacos and fry bread, will be for sale.
Exhibitions currently on view that focus on American Indian art include Maria: American Icon, showcasing work by famed potter Maria Martinez, Cheyenne Visions II, New Classics, and A Vested Interest.
Admission to the Powwow and the Museum is free. The Powwow is sponsored by Target. In Denver, Target partners with organizations such as the Denver Art Museum, Museo de las Americas and the Children's Museum of Denver to offer families free access to cultural performances and exhibitions. -- www.denverartmuseum.org
