holidays and all TAOS PUEBLO ARTS ALIVE AND WELL – SHARING JOY, LIVING IN GRACE BY DENA MILLER
Visitors may be disappointed by the continued closure of Taos Pueblo but there are still plenty of opportunities this holiday season to shop for items featuring local Native American talents. Sitting in the heart of the historic Taos downtown district, Atcitty’s on Taos Plaza is a welcome addition to the many galleries and boutiques that make Taos a shopper’s and collector’s dream. The proprietor, Cherylin Atcitty, has made her year-old namesake shop a destination for an impressive array of Native American
crafts from which to choose. You’ll be even more impressed by this sweeping collection when she tells you that nearly all of the items are created by members of her extended family. In addition to beautifully crafted artisanal jewelry, you will find Navajo cradle boards and wedding baskets, flutes,
dreamcatchers, kachinas and other selections. You might choose to pick up a bag of Native fry bread flour or blue cornmeal and ask Atcitty for some tips on how to make authentic recipes at home. Dedicated to providing a venue supporting local Native artisans, Atcitty’s will make your holiday shopping a breeze. Atcitty’s on Taos Plaza is located at 103 Kit Carson Road, at the intersection with Paseo del Pueblo Norte y Sur. For further information call (575) 779-7172. JEWELRY BY MARIA SAMORA
