An outdoor native American art exhibit and sale is happening this weekend on Midway Ave. across from Coulee Hardware in the parking lot of Body by Dam.

The judged show and market features several artists from across the northwest and a style not often seen.

You may be familiar with the art of coastal tribes with stylized whale images, for example. Or you might readily recognize the art of Southwest tribes, with prominent turquoise and silver.

But this show is called The First Ever Platuea Native Art Exhibit. Entries can win up to $400 for first place.

The event is being coordinated by the Northwest Native Development Fund
