The show opens July 3 with a reception from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and remains on display until August 2, 2009. As always, purchases from the store benefit the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts.
Local artists Larry Phillips (Ohkay Owingeh) and Rita Iringan bring their mixed media creations and sculpture to represent the more recent end of the continuum, while historic pottery, jewelry, bead work, baskets and Navajo rugs will represent creations from past.
