Artists in grades 7 through 12 may enter their art in the Youth Art Show & Sale which takes place on the same weekend as the Indian Fair & Market. All art submitted by artists in those grades will be judged the week prior to the Fair & Market. See www.heardguild.org/youth-artist-show-sale for further information.

Please note that an artist who is 18 at the time of the Fair and attends high school may enter either the Fair & Market as an adult or the Youth Art Show and Sale, but not both.
