Santa Fe in August
SANTA FE—One of the tribal art world’s longest
standing events, this year the Whitehawk annual
Antique Indian & Ethnographic Art Show celebrates
its forty-fi rst continuous year of operation. Held at
the Santa Fe Community Convention Center just
a few blocks from the Plaza, the event features approximately
100 largely United States–based dealers
representing fi elds as diverse as Native American and
Pre-Columbian art to high-end Asian, Spanish colonial,
and folk art. The event opens with a gala reception
on the evening of August 9, 2019, and is open to
the public regular hours August 10–12. This is a show
that truly has something for everyone.
Not far away at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, the
annual Objects of Art show will be held the same
weekend. This is a more broadly focused event than
Whitehawk. While there is a strong presence of Native
American and ethnographic art at this show, its
intended emphasis is art and design, and other dealers
include fi ne art, furniture, decorative arts, jewelry, and
fashion. More than seventy dealers from the United
States and abroad will bring their aesthetic perspectives
to the event. The show commences with a cocktail
reception on the evening of August 8, which benefi
ts the Santa Fe Museum of International Folk Art,
and is open regular hours August 9–11. Portions of
the proceeds—those from canine-inspired artworks—
will benefi t Assistance Dogs of the West in Santa Fe.
