New England's premier global Indigenous arts festival is happening virtually today 12pm EST!

For 46 years, Cultural Survival Bazaars have hosted Indigenous artists from across the world. Cultural Survival Bazaars are a series of cultural festivals that provide Indigenous artists, cooperatives, and their representatives from around the world the chance to sell their work directly to the U.S. public.

On Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 12 pm EST our first Virtual Bazaar is going live!

You are welcome to sign in 15 minutes early via Zoom to get settled. During this time of Covid-19, we have done our best to all come together as we have for decades to celebrate Indigenous art. Artists and vendors will be among us within the Zoom webinar as well as Cultural Survival staff and shoppers. You will be able to send questions and comments to the moderator, some of which will be answered by chat and some may be covered during a Q&A after the livecast.

Come ready to enjoy, shop, and converse via chat about Indigenous art! We ask for your help in spreading the word during the livecast on your social media channels. Whether you are watching us via Zoom, Facebook live, YouTube live, we’d love for you to like and share the video with your social media networks. You can make purchases directly from the artists websites, which we link to below. Some may be shopping for themselves and while others will be looking for beautiful and unique birthday or holiday presents to be enjoyed months to come. You will be amazed by the wide array of options available from personal accessories to items for beautifying your home! Handmade, sustainable, and in support of Indigenous cultures.

In addition to registering via Zoom ([link removed]) ,

How will I purchase?
[link removed] is the home of all artist and vendors profiles ([link removed]) . When you click on the name of each vendor, you will be brought to a page with more information, including how to contact the artist to make all of your purchases. It is important to note that not every Indigenous artist has access to the technology that makes having a website, or even social media account, possible. In these cases, you are able to email and call them directly, and enjoy the personalized experience of ordering what they have presented or customizing an order.

While some vendors have both an online shop on their website as well as an Etsy account, others have a brick and mortar shop in their home and welcome a phone call or email from you.

Here is the list of vendors you will see during today's show. Each of them produced a video to share:

A Thread of Hope, Afri-roots Collective, Domingo Wire & Beads Work, Eve & Nico, GuateMaya Art and Culture Connections, Painted Arrow Studio, Radical Grandma Collective, Retablos Amalia y Palomino, Silver Sahara, US Sherpa, Vital/Timoteo, Zienzele Foundation

Here is the additional list of vendors you won't want to miss. You can visit their profiles to learn what they make and sell, and to place orders:

Afra Kashmir, Elizabeth Perry, Finatur Design, Island Naturals, Mayan Hands, Tinamit Textiles, Yadaiha, Crafts without Borders.
