Event Description

"Exquisite, surprising, and real - like a living museum!"

A colorful and unique sale and exhibit of handwoven traditional textiles and authentic tribal and village art selected by us from the diverse hilltribe cultures of Laos and Vietnam. We are a family-owned business eager to connect our visitors with the incredible art and artists of this remote, mountainous region. Our lush collection includes fine silk shawls, scarves, and wall-art (from $15 to $800), cotton and hemp textiles, well worn baskets, masks, ritual artifacts and tools, non-silver jewelry, and other authentic handmade items. Some items include a photo (taken by us) of the artist holding up their own unique textile.

Our event includes an on-going slideshow of the art and artists and stories of our family's engagement (mom, dad, and two teen boys) with the people of hilltribe Laos and Vietnam. 15% of profits are donated to Mines Advisory Group. To learn more, visit Hilltribe Art.
