The organizers of the One Heart Native Arts and Film festival told us that the genesis of this two-day event came out of a very real need for our region’s Native Americans to have a space to show their artwork. The festival begins with a screening of the acclaimed film Smoke Signals at the Bing Crosby Theater with much of the cast on hand, as well as the film’s writer, best-selling author Sherman Alexie. There’s also a short film program on Saturday as most of the action moves to the Kauffman & Associates building, where you’ll find an array of visual arts from native artists from throughout the region.
Fri, Sept. 30 and Sat, Oct. 1 • $40/full festival pass; $15 Smoke Signals screening only • Bing Crosby Theater and Kauffman & Associates Building • tickets and schedule of events at oneheartfestival.org
