Native American Heritage: Arts & Crafts

First Americans Art Magazine

"The most extensive Native American art events calendar available."

Denver Art Museum

"The Denver Art Museum was one of the first art museums in the nation to collect Indigenous arts from North America. As early as 1925, the DAM recognized and valued the fine aesthetic qualities of Native arts, when many other institutions only valued them as anthropological material. While we collected the early artwork of Indigenous people, we also focused on the work of contemporary Native artists at every moment in time."

Native American Art

"Native American creativity is boundless and sacred. Artistic expression has been a way to worship the gods. Art for art's sake is not part of the Indian psyche. Their artistic designs have beauty and care motivated by their love for nature."

Indian Arts & Crafts Board, US Dept. of the Interior

"The Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB) promotes the economic development of federally recognized American Indians and Alaska Natives (Indians) through the expansion of the Indian arts and crafts market."
