The University of Arizona, through the Arizona State History Museum, sponsors the South West Indian Art Fair. The juried fair showcases the best of Indian artists and their multiple mediums. The show opened in Tucson, travels to Phoenix, and closes in Santa Fe.
The museum grounds were jammed: artists, dancers, music, food, jewelry, rugs, baskets, carvings, pots, and masks. Oh yeah, and patrons. The creativity was exquisite; the price tags full of zeros....
