Congratulations! What you are holding in your hand right now is the official guide to

the 61st annual Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market While this is the first year

for us producing the official guide for the fair, we have actually been media sponsors

of the event for years, even before we even started publishing Native American Art

magazine, through our Western Art Collector magazine And, even further, growing up

in Phoenix we have so many fond memories off attending this event throughout the

years It is truly a staple of the downtown Phoenix art scene and the Heard itself is an

institution that has grown up with the city itself It’s truly been a beautiful thing to see

Our advice to you is to explore Get lost in the booths, ask questions, chat with

the artists Take advantage of the fact that the piece of art you may be looking at

was created by hand by the person standing in front of you This is their life, their

vision, their creations—hours upon hours alone in their studio

or living room or garage or kitchen table creating the work of

art that they now proudly display in front of them A gift from

their life to yours Enjoy!

Most of you know that this guide is the February/March issue

of Native American Art magazine We are a bimonthly magazine

entirely dedicated to historic and contemporary Native art We

cover gallery shows, events like this one, museum exhibitions,

auctions and anything else where we find quality art and amazing

people coming together If you like what you see, give us a try by

subscribing at www.nativeamericanartmagazine.com

Lastly, this magazine wouldn’t be possible without the

extremely hard work of our staff They work tirelessly day in and

day out to produce this quality publication! Stop by our booth at

the fair to meet some of us in person The Heard Museum Guild

Indian Fair & Market is put on by the Guild, an unbelievably

hardworking group of people who make this happen every year

Anna Flynn is the organizer of this year’s fair We worked with

her daily to create this magazine Her incredible hard work,

dedication and just all around awesomeness was truly something

to behold Anna, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Sincerely,

Joshua Rose

Editor

P.S In each issue we provide a special section dedicated to a

different aspect of the Native art world These special sections are

made up of well-written and useful articles to help illuminate the

intricacies of one particular medium in the Native art We are proud

to say that our next issue, April/May, will include our first-ever

special section devote to historic and contemporary Native fashion

and apparel! Email me at joshuarose@nativeamericanartmagazine
