Los Angeles is a city built on diversity, creativity, and community, which is why the Basket Weaving Workshop at the Southwest Museum of the American Indian is so important. This event connects Angelenos of all backgrounds with the cultural traditions of Native American peoples—a significant part of LA's heritage. Led by Maria Chacon, a master basket weaver, the workshop not only teaches a traditional craft but also encourages dialogue, understanding, and respect for indigenous artistry. Held in the museum’s storied halls, participants get to embrace hands-on learning, engage with local history, and support an institution dedicated to preserving cultural narratives. For our community, it's more than an art class—it's a celebration of generations, artistry, and meaningful connection. Register today to join fellow Los Angeles residents in honoring the rich Southwestern heritage right in your own backyard.
