California I CAN's 3rd Annual California Indian Arts and Culture Festival


This year's festival, curated by Northern Sierra Mewuk Basketweaver Jennifer Bates, is a rare opportunity to meet and interact with highly skilled California Indian Artisans from across the state who will be demonstrating their traditional crafts including basketweaving, cordage and jewelry making, boat building, acorn cooking, storytelling, traditional games, and more.

We are anticipating the participation of 12 artisan demonstrators, as well as an additional 10 or more artists who will be selling their hand made creations including baskets, jewelry, art works of all kinds, paintings, note cards, and more.
