About Pathways
The Pathways Indigenous Arts Festival brings together Native artists, performers, filmmakers, and food vendors for three days of celebration at Buffalo Thunder Resort. Visitors can browse indoor and outdoor artist booths featuring jewelry, pottery, textiles, paintings, and sculpture from tribes across the country. Live music and dance performances run throughout the weekend, and a full food court offers Native and regional cuisine.
Pathways started in 2020 to support Native artists who lost income during the pandemic. What began as an emergency response has grown into one of the Southwest’s premier Indigenous arts festivals, now in its sixth year. The mission remains the same: create a marketplace where Indigenous artists can sell their work, share their culture, and connect directly with collectors and the public.
The Future Is Indigenous
Join 400+ Indigenous artists, entrepreneurs, performers, and food vendors for three days of art, culture, and celebration
