The award-winning Red Earth Festival is recognized as one of America’s foremost Native arts festivals. Festival guests will experience the artistic creations of some of America’s most celebrated Native artists as they offer their creations for sale. Special presentations of tribal dance, demonstrations, and lectures will be featured throughout the weekend.

“The inviting atmosphere at the Cowboy Museum will allow the festival the opportunity to provide enhanced visitor experiences and engaging exhibits and activities for the entire family,” said Vickie Norick, Chairman of the Red Earth Board. “The beautiful outdoor venue, Liichokoshkomo, provides the perfect backdrop for our dance performances and music activities. Liichokoshkomo’ is a 100,000 square foot outdoor expansion with seven intertribal Native dwellings. The Cowboy’s permanent collections include Western material culture,
American Indian art and artifacts, the Silberman collection of Native American fine art and the Taos Society of Artists. "With the combined experience of the Museum and this great Festival, visitors will truly feel immersed in the histories and cultures of the American West. “Art from the 51st Prix de West, the Museum’s premiere Western art exhibition and sale, will also be on display during the Red Earth Festival, giving visitors an added opportunities to see some of the finest modern Western art on the market today.”
