Sue and Israel Shotridge enjoy one another; Clarissa Rizal’s “Chilkat Child” won Best of Class at the Heard Museum Juried Art Show, Phoenix, AZ – March 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

Doing art markets alone is not as much fun, however if you get along with other artists who may want to do the show alongside with you, like Sue and Israel Shotridge, it’s so much more fun!\u00a0 We had a blast!\u00a0 This was their first year at the market; this is my third year.\u00a0 We were two of 600+ Native American artists featured at the Heard Museum Native Art Fair and Market usually held the first weekend in March; this was the Heard’s 57th year.\u00a0 Sue and I were not quite a year old when they first started this fair!\u00a0 There were also a few other Northwest Coast Native artists at the Fair, though not many of us:\u00a0 Dolly Garza, Diane Douglas-Willard, and Zoe Urness.<\/p>\n

Shotridges and Rizal combine their “gallery space” in each of their 10′ x 10′ booths at the Heard Museum Indian Art Fair and Market, March 7 & 8 – Phoenix, AZ, 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

To be a part of the fair, the application process starts each year in July.\u00a0 To qualify, you must be at least 1\/4 Native American with proof of your CIB (Certificate of Indian Blood), there’s a $25 application fee, the largest, 10’x10′ booths are $500, you must provide a resume’, and 10 images of your best work within the last 3 years.\u00a0 It’s easy for myself because I have established a large body of work over the past 39 years, though for emerging artists, the application process may be intimidating; however, keep your faith in yourself, put your best foot forward, and if you have nothing major to show for yourself, then get on the ball and produce some work before the Heard Museum deadline for application!\u00a0 Get it together, step up to your plate that’s waiting to “feed” you!\u00a0 It’s up to you!<\/p>\n

A select group of the booths at the Heard are 10′ x 10′.\u00a0 The Shotridges and I took down the canvas wall that divided our booths; we wanted to be able to converse and especially have more light AND give buyers and opportunity to “step into our gallery.”\u00a0 —-\u00a0 These shows can be a lot of work.\u00a0 It took three hours to set up my simple booth below.\u00a0 It took three hours for the Shotridges to do the same.\u00a0 Yet there is a simple pleasure in the accomplishment of making our space look inviting, and in our opinion, it really is like setting up a temporary outdoor “gallery.”<\/p>\n

Outside of winning ribbons and with the intent you will sell some work to help offset not only your costs but pay some of your bills for the next few months, one of the best parts (for me) about doing shows are the variety of people we meet from all walks of life and the invites to other shows and events, or invites to artist retreats or residencies, and not to mention the up-and-coming artists who look to you for guidance and advice.\u00a0 Generally speaking, I think people like to be needed; it gives us another sense of self-worth!<\/p>\n
