Native Arts Links
The Arizona State Museum is a wonderful place, near and dear to my heart, and this
website is a good example of why: it lists the winners of their annual Southwest
Indian Arts Fair dating back to its inception in 2001, includes photos of the
works, the artists, comments from the judges, it talks about the judging
philosophy …everything that a top notch Indian arts exhibition ought to do, but
only ASM does it. I hope others will some day follow suit, but in the meantime,
you will find this a great and growing resource to bookmark, and a worthy
institution to support!
