The Montana Folk Festival is accepting applications from Native American artists and crafters who would like to show their work in the First Peoples’ Marketplace in Butte July 11-13. Over the last six years the First Peoples’ Marketplace has grown to be one of the largest showcases for Native artists in the West and especially in Montana. The market has become a popular place for Native artists from throughout Montana and the region to visit with fellow artists from many different tribes and share the market for a weekend and it is even more popular among these artists for the lucrative sales. Any tribally affiliated artist in the region wanting to apply can visit montanafolkfestival/pages/forms-applications/sell-first-peoplesrsquo-market.php for an application and guidelines they can print out and mail in to be considered by a jury of experts that will evaluate the applicants. If interested native artists prefer, they can also call 406-497-6464 and leave a message with a regular mailing address for an application and guidelines to be mailed to them. The Marketplace is made possible by a generous sponsorship from Seacast, Inc., (seacast) a Seattle-based corporation with deep Butte and Montana roots. Again, admission throughout the three-day event is free to all. For details about how to participate in and enjoy the 2014 Montana Folk Festival on July 11-14, 2014, visit montanafolkfestival.
