Held in the heart of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation, RedCan is the first and only graffiti jam in Indian Country.

For four life-changing days every summer, this award-winning event offers an unprecedented opportunity for the Cheyenne River community to experience humankind’s largest art movement while also strengthening connections with traditional Lakota culture. Along the way, RedCan provides meaningful, lasting inspiration for our young people, who are discovering the profound power of art in finding their own voices, exploring their identities, and expressing themselves.

Graffiti jams are dedicated to introducing graffiti as an art form, bringing together people who exemplify the contemporary graffiti art movement and how it has evolved since its inception more than a half century ago.

Since its 2015 inception, RedCan has been breaking new ground. Not only are our featured artists showcasing a global movement, its relevance, and how to be part of it, they’re connecting the graffiti world with the indigenous one.

Together, we are sharing and revitalizing our stories, our language, our values, and our identities. And through reclaiming our spaces in this way, we are lifting up our community.
