Join the Ulrich Museum of Art for the Contemporary Indigenous Arts Festival. The festival line-up features performances, artist talks, hands-on workshops and short films. 

The festival kicks off Tuesday, Oct. 4 at Duerksen Amphitheater with a free performance by Frank Waln, a Sicangu Lakota rapper and activist. Mvskoke Creek/Seneca Hoop dancers Lumhe and Samoche Sampson, also known as the Sampson Brothers, will open the show and later join Waln onstage for a portion of his performance. The rain location for this event is Miller Concert Hall.

College and high school students, as well as the public, are invited to take part as the Ulrich celebrates the works of Indigenous artists in conjunction with the exhibit, Myths of the West: Narrating Stories of the Land and People through Wichita Art Collections, which runs through Dec. 3 in the Polk/Wilson and Amsden Galleries. Funding is available to assist regional high schools with transportation.
