The Red Earth Museum hosts a diverse and changing schedule of traveling exhibitions and is custodian of a permanent collection of more than 1,400 items of fine art, pottery, basketry, textiles and beadwork – including the Deupree Cradleboard Collection, one of the finest individual collections of its kind in North America. The Red Earth Museum, located at Science Museum Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, has benefited more than 130,000 annually.
The juried art competition and dance competition at the annual Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival has established Oklahoma City as a Native American art and cultural center, rivaling other southwestern cities as a showcase of Indian art. The varied activities and events scheduled during the Festival provide a mix of entertaining and educational presentations including food booths, hands-on children’s activities, storytelling, and musical performances.
