As fine art collectors and enthusiasts from around the world gather in small groups and virtually in Santa Fe, New Mexico this year, they will have the unique opportunity to experience the second official, ‘Sovereign Santa Fe‘ art exhibit.
Sovereign is a curated Contemporary Native American Arts exhibition showcasing cutting edge indigenous creativity. Sovereign’s mission is to create a platform and highlight NewSchool Native American Arts and its elusive relationship between traditional and contemporary.
Organized by FaraHNHeight Fine Art, Tony Abeyta, and Randy L Barton and taking place at La Fonda on the Plaza in La Terraza Ballroom, Sovereign fosters a community of forward thinking artists. The exhibition features contemporary paintings, sculptures and other mediums.
Sovereign allows visitors to view and interact with over 20 different contemporary native artists’ work, including but not limited to: Monty Little, The Carson Twins, Sheldon Harvey, Melissa Cody, David Naranjo, April Holder, George Alexander, Raven Arbuckle, Aaron Kiyaani, Sandra Cohoe, Jamie Chavez, Antoinette Thompson, Jesse Raine Littlebird, Suann Davin, and Orlando Allison, and others.
Sovereign Santa Fe was established in 2019 to give vibrant Native American artists an on-trend platform to showcase and share their accomplished work and talent.
This year, Sovereign Santa Fe partners with La Fonda on the Plaza. Art is on display throughout the hotel including La Plazuela, La Fiesta Lounge and La Terraza. Visitors can explore the art exhibits in a safe and socially distanced atmosphere, then enjoy lite fare and drinks in the open-air rooftop garden.
