Your Market Guide
Welcome to the February/march issue of Native American Art! In this issue, you will find 152 pages of art, with more than 70 pages devoted to the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market. This includes a map of the event marked with all of the advertising artists in the magazine, as well as a QR code you can scan to download the map to your phone. In addition, we now produce the entire list of artists and the complete map of the event as a hand-out for anyone who attends the market. So come by our booth and pick up both the magazine and our eight-page booth map and artist directory. You will also be able to meet the artists, hear about their traditions and methods used to create art, and take home a piece that will forever connect you to the artist.
As we work on this Heard issue, it’s always fun to reflect back on some of the past Best of Show winners, including Jody Naranjo, Glendora Fragua, Don Johnston, Jamie Okuma, Ephraim “Zefren M” Anderson, Arthur Holmes and jewelry artist Raynard Scott, who won last year with his Navajo-themed Monopoly board. We look forward to interviewing this year’s Best of Show winner and having their winning piece in our report coverage in the June/july issue.
As a subscriber, you will enjoy our Guide to Market section, which includes two pages on every classification at the market. This section appears in the printed magazine, as well as in our digital version. Visit nativeamericanartmagazine.com to sign up for a print or digital subscription to enjoy these features.
Be sure to stop by our market booth on March 2 and 3 in Phoenix. You can pick up a free magazine and map, and also meet the people who make this magazine. On behalf of our entire team, we are eager to meet you and hear your collecting stories!

P.S. We are working on something very special this year, the official T-shirt of the 66th Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market. Native American Art, in collaboration with the Heard Museum Guild, is happy to bring back the official market T-shirt and all that it represents with original Native American art. We hope you pick up a shirt to support the Heard Museum and to take a memory back home with you.
