Located in the heart of Downtown Gresham, this free, two-day event is a celebration of Native American art and artists, featuring an art fair, musical performances, dancing, storytelling, and craft activities.
Join artist Jonni Ketcher for a free artist talk that explores Indigenous inspiration in the past, present, and future. We will discuss how to protect our peace and each other in the modern age.
Jonni Ketcher is a professional liar. As the Cherokee word "gagoga" loosely describes the act of storytelling or "lying,” Jonni proudly claims the title, alongside being a versatile, award-winning artist and graphic designer.

Drumming and dancing performance by Turquoise Pride, located at the Spinellas outdoor stage north of the museum.

Xavier Sanchez (Yakama)
Sweet Song Spotted Eagle (Nez Perce, Athabascan)
Aurora Spotted Eagle (Black Feet)
Violet Wilson (Black Feet)
Gresham Outdoor Public Art seeks to commission and install locally crafted, permanent art for Gresham, which will contribute to ongoing educational and cultural experiences and cultivate appreciation of what visual, touchable art can do to enrich our imaginations, our lives and our community.
Portland Indigenous Marketplace supports Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs by providing barrier-free, culturally respectful spaces that encourage cultural resilience and economic sustainability by promoting public education through cultural arts.
The Gresham Historical Society preserves and shares our community’s past to enrich its present and future. GHS operates a museum where all may gather to learn and find inspiration in the history of the Gresham area.

What happens when you put 3 incredible women-led organizations together? You get downtown Gresham's first ever Indigenous Arts Festival! GHS, GOPA, and PIM came together to bring Native art, music, dancing, crafts, and Indigenous joy to Main Street.
This project is sponsored by the Oregon Cultural Trust through the Multnomah County Cultural Coalition.
