Mary Kelsey & MEKA Clothing - SWAIA, Paris Fashion Week and MMIWG2S Awareness
Clothing designer and artist Mary Kelsey used support from Potlatch Fund to bring her work to the Santa Fe Indian Market hosted by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) as well as to Paris Fashion Week in 2022, where she showcased her work in dedication to missing and murdered indigenous women.
“I am always excited and thankful for the continued support the Potlatch Fund has shown me over the years. As a contemporary artist, it is relevant to still be supported by community while also honoring our traditional ways.”
— Mary Kelsey, Potlatch Seasonal Gift Recipient

“I am hoping to try and focus on expanding MEKA while also creating healing art through fashion. I am likely going to expand my Red Dress collection and plan on an exhibit locally in Seattle throughout the year.”
