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).
