Contemporary Native American Crafts
Pueblo Pottery

of Robert F. Nichols remote

The annual Santa Fe Indian Market remote site in mid-August in Santa Fe is considered by many to be the premier showcase of contemporary native American art and crafts, drawing participants from all over the continent. This juried show confers prestigious awards in all mediums, in both traditional and innovative categories. Other tribal events, such as the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial remote site each August, also include exhibitions. Traditional crafts are a major source of livelihood for many of the Pueblos, and are well represented by many galleries and dealers.

The Institute of American Indian Arts has for decades drawn talented students from throughout the Indian world, and has sown the seeds of contemporary fine arts activity. The school has recently fielded a beautiful new museum one block east of the downtown Santa Fe Plaza. For more than two decades, art galleries have solidly supported current trends, establishing the leading market for groundbreaking Indian painters and sculptors. The top few of these artists have achieved international mainstream status.
