RAPID CITY- Native POP: People of the Plains, hosted an annual Native American art market and cultural celebration July 7-9. This is the eleventh Year Native Pop hosted their gathering of arts and culture along with several events that coincide with the Art Market including an art award ceremony to kick off the event as well as live music downtown at Murphy\u2019s. Each event is a free gathering for the people.<\/p>\n

A Fashion show was the Finale to this year\u2019s event showcasing some of the top designers and models in Native Fashion. This event is a gathering of arts and culture. This three day event has grown into a yearly event that a lot of indigenous artists look forward to. This market allows artists to network with other artists and showcase their crafts.<\/p>\n

Featured Northern Plains\u2019 artists at this year\u2019s event included Della Big Hair, Marshall Burnette, Gerald Cournoyer, Norma Dupris, Tani Gordon, Billy J. Janis, RyKelle Kemp, Jared Lanz, Bonnie LeBeau, Ryia LeBeau, Gaylen LaRoche, Rose Neuharth, Taylor Neuharth, Michael Patton, Joe Pulliam, Martin Red Bear, Nelda Schrupp, Adrianne Shabi, Donovan Sprague, Sheldon Starr, Eunice Straighthead, Travis Tremblay, Angela Twiss, Dustin Twiss, Andrea Two Bulls, Dalaena Uses Knife, Matthew Uses Knife, Jennifer White and Gerald YellowHawk.<\/p>\n

Kicking off Native POP was the Premier juried art show and award ceremony at the Journey Museum on Friday July 7.<\/p>\n

Lawfawn Janis Executive Director of Native POP says, \u201cIt is an honor to be part of Native Pop. It represents Lakota fine art on another level. To be part of the community of Native artists is exciting. We have done this event for eleven years and it wouldn\u2019t be possible without the help from the Dahl Arts Center, Crazy Horse Monument, and the Journey Museum. This event helps bring healing to the artists individually as well as healing across the nation. There is no one better or worse in any which way. The art is all amazing. This event is a good way to stay interested and invested in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerald Yellowhawk opened the award ceremony with a prayer. Gerald had a couple works entered in the art exhibit. One was titled \u201cSpirit Horse\u201d This painting is of two Lakota war horses and it\u2019s a spirit. In the painting the horses are enjoying their freedom. This painting teaches the history of the Coup. Gerald says, \u201cIt is better to touch with a coup stick. That\u2019s an honor greater than killing or injuring your enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Billy Janis, another artist, had entered his art piece titled \u201cSpirit Sincere.\u201d Billy had started this piece at 10 that morning to put something together for the show. The background to his painting started out completely different then the way it turned out. Billy expressed that, \u201cIt turned out a lot better than I thought it would.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Native POP also featured a \u201cfabulous fashion show\u201d with amazing designers and glamorous models this year to the 2023 production. Designers this year were Designs by Della, Zuya Arts, Hopa Darla Takes the Knife, Lady Popmadour, Rattler Mountain, and AltarXNatives.<\/p>\n

One of the beaded dresses done by \u201cDesigns by Della\u201d has been purchased by the South Dakota Art Museum, in Brookings SD. The dress \u201cIndigenous Culture\u201d won Best of Division I \u2013 Adornment B.<\/p>\n

Della says, \u201cI didn\u2019t really start designing clothes till 2017, I took it seriously and started to leave Montana for fashion shows out of state in 2018. Sometimes you have to leave the Rez to pursue your dreams. Don\u2019t be scared to leave your comfort zone, just keep true to yourself, do what you know and everything else will fall into place. Life is short, just do it and stay humble! The dress took me a whole month to complete and includes matching beaded earrings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Native POP they have always supported Indigenous fashion, and many \u201cGreats\u201d have showcased their latest fashion lines on the Native POP stage.<\/p>\n
