LA NDN Flea – A Native Market
221 S. Grand Avenue
Modeled after flea markets found on many Native American reservations, the biannual LA NDN Flea – A Native Market features everything from recycled clothing to handcrafted jewelry, original art and much more. Joining the event will be nonprofit organizations and resource groups providing community support and information. Guests can pick up a free, limited-run poster featuring the powerful and vibrant artwork by Broad collection artist, Jeffrey Gibson (Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Cherokee), titled "THE RETURNED MALE STUDENT FAR TOO FREQUENTLY GOES BACK TO THE RESERVATION AND FALLS INTO THE OLD CUSTOM OF LETTING HIS HAIR GROW LONG (2024)."
Visitors can connect with local Indigenous groups, dance to curated DJ sets by deesco (TemeAugama Anishnabai), enjoy special food vendor offerings, and participate in a family friendly hands-on activity that celebrates the vibrant intersection of Los Angeles’s cultural heritage and natural environment with a custom board game designed and developed by artist, musician, researcher, and educator, Lazaro Arvizu Jr. (Gabrielino/Tongva).
LA NDN Flea – A Native Market is organized by The Broad’s community partner The Chapter House, a space for Indigenous art, empowerment, and community.
