AUCTIONS
OF
NATIVE AMERICAN ART
October 4, 2008 & May 9, 2009
*Please Note: The fall auction has been moved to October this year.
The Friends of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, in partnership with the National Park Service, conduct two Native American Art Auctions each year. The next two auctions will be on October 4, 2008 and May 9, 2008 at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. Over 400 items will be offered in the auctions including contemporary and antique Navajo weavings, Pueblo Katsina dolls, pottery, paintings, carvings and baskets from several tribes ranging in price from just $20 to over $4000. Each auction will begin at noon, daylight saving time with the preview from 9:00 to 11:00 am.
In addition to the auction the Hubbell family home will be open for tours in the morning and the trading post store will be open throughout the day, plus arts, crafts and food vendors will be selling their merchandise for your enjoyment.
The event takes place outdoors in a big tent at the National Historic Site in Ganado, Arizona on Highway 264 (1/2 mile west of Highway 191).

Artists may register their items for the auctions the week of each auction from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM; September 29-October 3, 2008 & May 4-8, 2009. Auction items are registered and sold in numeric order so artists are encouraged to register early to secure low lot numbers. Items may not be entered for the auctions on each auction day.
Food and arts and crafts vendors booth reservations must be made in advance. Booth rentals are $30. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own table and chairs. Only authentically handmade Native American art objects will be accepted in the auction and at the vendor tables.
