Prescott- The 2010 Prescott Indian Art Market (PIAM) will be held on the tree–shaded grounds of the Sharlot Hall Museum on July 10thth and 11th. The Museum’s flower–lined walkways and commemorative rose garden provide an inviting backdrop for the impressive display of Indian art.
The market features both traditional and contemporary works of art, including distinctive jewelry, exquisite ceramics, hand-woven baskets and blankets. PIAM has grown in reputation and quality into one of the premier Indian Art Markets offered in the Southwest. An all-Indian artist jury chooses participants on the basis of quality in both traditional and contemporary styles. Navajo artist Randy Keedah, a self-taught artist, is this year’s PIAM Featured Artist. Randy specializes in Western, Southwestern and American Indian Fine Art. He has won awards at the Southwest Arizona State Museum, The Phippen Art Museum, and the Prescott Indian Art Market where he has been awarded both 1st Place in the Painting category and the People’s Choice Award.
Visit with the artists in their booths and learn of the techniques and processes involved in creating their work. Hopi artist, Ramson Lomatewama, returns to demonstrate his fascinating glass–blowing of vessels and figurines. Stroll among demonstrators of American Indian weaving, Katsina carving and silversmithing. Observe the making of pottery, stone fetishes, baskets, and moccasins. Featured again this year is the Children’s Art Experience, which offers participants a workshop with leading American Indian artists (space limited; sign-up required). Entertainment is provided throughout the weekend in the outdoor amphitheater by Native American dancers, singers, and musicians. A popular highlight is the mouthwatering Navajo Fry Bread.
The Prescott Indian Art Market is scheduled for July 10th and 11th. Hours are 9AM to 5PM on Saturday and 9AM to 4PM on Sunday. Admission to the market is $10 per person; Museum Members $5; children free; admittance free with new Museum memberships.
