March is Heard Indian Fair time! It's the tradition of the Heard Indian Fair and Market I enjoy. My friends and I go bright and early Saturday morning and visit with our favorite artists and friends. Then we methodically, go tent to tent, table to table enjoying all the creative delights and surprises. There are 700 artists there and this can take a long time! We often come home with a few select items. If we finish our shopping and visiting, we enjoy the entertainment.
Dan Namingha (Hopi/Tewa) is this year's Signature Artist. Namingha has been showing professionally as an artist for over forty years. His works command unwavering respect for the earth and spirit of his ancestry, the beautiful heritage that is the heart of his creativity. He is constantly drawn to his roots so deeply embedded in ceremony yet allows us only a guarded glimpse of his sacred traditions; the spirit messengers, the kachinas representing blessings, ancestors and cloud people ... all of these forming the interim of visage between the physical and the spirit world.
The Heard Indian Fair takes place Saturday & Sunday, March 3 & 4, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
