DECORATE YOUR HOLIDAYS:

ORNAMENT MARKETPLACE 2021

BY MEGAN RICHMOND | HEARD MUSEUM SHOP

Let your home for the holidays reflect your one-of-a-kind style!

Decorate your home this holiday season with handmade American Indian ornaments from the Heard Museum Shop’s annual Ornament Marketplace, Nov. 26-28. You’ll find unique ornaments in a variety of styles and mediums for each person on your holiday list or branch on your tree.

This year’s featured artist, Jessica Tracey (Navajo), has designed a limited-edition signature ornament: a sterlingsilver feather with geometric stamping. She has made 40 of them, and each is signed and numbered. In addition to brightening your tree, this lovely decoration also can be worn as a pendant.

The signature ornament will go on sale at 10 a.m. on the first day of Ornament Marketplace, Friday, Nov. 26, for $195 each. (Signature ornaments are available on a first-come, firstserved basis and cannot be placed on hold prior to the event.)

Ornament Marketplace also will feature many other one-of-a-kind ornaments handmade by American Indian artists. Here are some of the guest artists who will be appearing instore, selling their ornaments throughout the weekend:

Peter Ray James (Navajo) Buddy Tubinaghtewa (Hopi) Berna and Anderson Koinva (Hopi) Michelle Tapia-Browning (Santa Clara Pueblo) Larry Melendez (Hopi) Ronald Chee (Navajo) Dakota Chee (Navajo) These artists were confirmed at press time; more artists will be added to the list!

All ornaments will be available while supplies last, so visit us early for the best selection. Because of the handmade nature of these items, there will be slight color and style variations among the ornaments.

The Heard Museum Shop has a variety of unique gifts for all your holiday shopping needs. Plenty of free parking makes for easy and hassle-free holiday shopping.
