This free, family-friendly celebration highlights the region’s vibrant Indigenous cultures through art, music, and storytelling
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Historical Museum invites the community to welcome the winter season and discover one-of-a-kind, last-minute gifts at the Winter Native Arts Market on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free, family-friendly celebration highlights the region’s vibrant Indigenous cultures through art, music, and storytelling.
Guests can explore and shop from 17 Native artists and makers showcasing a stunning variety of handcrafted works — jewelry, textiles, carvings, prints, and more. Each purchase directly supports Indigenous artists and helps sustain their cultural traditions and creative expression.
Adding to the festive spirit, award-winning Native American flute musician Sherrie Davis will perform throughout the day, providing a beautiful and soulful soundtrack for the event.
In addition to the market, museum admission will be free all day, offering visitors the chance to experience exhibitions that share the stories and heritage of Southwest Washington—including those of the region’s first peoples.
The Clark County Historical Museum is located at 1511 Main St. in Vancouver.
