This year, artists participating in the

eighthannualNativeTreasures Indian

Arts Festivalwere invited to create

special treasureboxes tobe soldat the

FridayeveningBenefit Pre-Sale Party.

Thepartyoffersartists andcollectors

theopportunity to come together in a

festive atmosphere; theone-of-a-kind

boxes give collectors theopportunity to

shareartists hopes,dreams andprayers;

andthemoney raised supports exhibits

at theMuseumofIndianArts&Culture.

Comanchepainter NoconaBurgess said he

wantedto put therecord straightwitha

special set of two boxes that hecallsTruth

andLies.Hesaid they representthe real

storyof his great-great-grandfather, Quanah

Parker. Theboxeslook andopen like books,eachwitha latch.

Stories aboutQuanahParkerhave

becomecloudedandjust plainwrongdown

through history,Burgess said.These boxes

tell whats true andwhats not.

QuanahParker,whosemotherwas awhite

womancapturedby theComanches, grew

up tobecomea Comanchechief andtraveled

toWashington,D.C.,wherehe metwith

PresidentTheodoreRoosevelt. In effect,

Parker lived twolives, andtheseboxesreflect

that: Theportraiton onebox showsParker

inAnglo clothes of the time a suit, tie and

bowlerhat; thesecond boxdisplays a portrait

ofParker inhisIndianchiefattire.

Together,Burgess said, they represent the

realQuanahParker.

Misquadace, an Instituteof American

IndianArts graduate,worksin amedium

Abeytaspieces range fromabstracts and landscapes in oil to

drawings incharcoal, inkand crayon. Hehasrecentlydelvedinto

makingjewelry, usingmany of thesame themesand imagery fromhis

paintings,Eicher said.

Abeytagrewup inGallup, near the Zuni andNavajoreservations,

thesonof SylviaandNarciso Abeyta. HismotherwasAngloand his

fatherwas aNavajo painter.TAI was never raised on the reservation like some. I wouldntdo well

thereeither. Id alwaysbe drivinginto town for a doubleespressowith

a splashofcoconut milk.My fatherwas full-bloodedNavajo, went to

boarding school, fought inWorldWar II as a code talkerand spoke

hisown language beautifully. I wasraisedfor themost part inurban

surroundings. I amthenext chapter inmy fathersjourney,as ismy

son inmine. I willalwaysbe Navajo; its an imprint onthe deepest

cellular level. Im alsopartwhite, andI honor that.Its the partof me

that enjoyseatingsushiandgrants mepermission to be a tourist on

myownlands.

Hisparents encouragedhimto followhis dreams. So,at age16,Abeyta

movedtoSantaFe tostudy at theInstituteofAmerican IndianArts.

TAI remember entering the dorms of the Institute of American

Indian Arts, and I knew that I didnt want to be a painter. After all,

myfatherwasa painter butstruggled as a weekendartist whotraded

art for hissupplies. I was just glad to leavehome, find independence

andhad somevagueideas that I could go into advertising andgraphic

design whatever that meantat thetime. I waslucky I wasin Santa

Feat the right time. The Native art world was on fire, and I sold my

first painting for $75, then $400 and so on. Many fine artisans had

paved the way ahead of me, and collectorswere already in place. I

couldnt haveimagined that there wasa supportsystembuilt intothis

community,andschoolhelpedguideme and facilitated a great many

adventures.

Early on, [Tony]was oneof those young artists you could see wasgoing to takehis artand besomebody, saidMarita Hinds,an art

consultantwho, as an arthistorymajor, enrolled at IAIA just before

Abeyta some 30 years ago. She later worked at IAIA for more than a

decade.

I coulddefinitely seehim blazing hisown trail, shesaid. He

took hiswholecreative interpretationofhisNavajoculture, his

connectionwith Taos, andreally incorporatedthemasters that he

learned from[abroad].

Abeytasstudies did not end at IAIA.He earned a Bachelor of Fine

Arts degreeat theMaryland InstituteCollege of Art andwenton

study inFlorence, Italy, thesouthofFrance andNewYorkUnive

wherehe earneda Masterof FineArts degree.

SaidHinds:You can goto anart schoolherein Santa Fe,but I

think forTony, studyingat a differentart schoolandgoingoutof

countryplayeda hugeroleinwho heis.

TAI define myself as a contemporaryNative Americanpainter. I

that with thesame prideas if I were to sayan abstractexpression

or a French impressionist.I am also a Navajo, a father,a teacher

a jeweler, a collectorandan extremely grateful man.The natureof

what I doasanartist isto createimagesfrom thin air and see them

realizedas art, whichnever existed before. I amanabstractpainte

a monochromaticmodernistwith traditionalist undertonesanda

memoryof the sacred.I ama chameleon witha range ofsubjectst

canconfuseanyviewerwho came toseewhatever itwasthey expe

I should be.

While Abeytahas beenable tomake a very good living as an artis

many years, he said hehasnevermeasuredhis ownsuccessbyw

hehas earnedfor his work.

TAI became successful when I was content. But money had noth

todo with theequation. Therewas a longperiod whereI feltmedi

banal anduninformed of thevastpossibilities ofwhat art can be.

was sellingwell commercially butmiserable. I hada beautiful fam

galleries and art supplies all the stuff thatdefinesa successful

career. But I dreadedgoingintomy studio.Most artists know thefeeling

Whathappened tochangethat?I moved out ofa big house with

viewofa magicmountainin Taos, soldall mycars andpacked up

familyand moved to Venice, Italy, for two and a half years, then N

York. I quit drinkingand laterdivorced. I studied contemporary a

theoriesandcriticism.I explored things likeinstallation art, vide

dance,performance, modern architectureanddesign. I devouredt

ideas ofartists like Bill Viola,AndyGoldsworthy, MaurizioCatte

AgnesMartin and JosephBeuys.

Abeytasartistic range can be seen in all the unfinishedpieces sit

in his second-floor,multiroomstudio onPalaceAvenue.

TAI know when a painting is done when I just cantpaint anymo

onthework andits ready for thatillegible signature.In a years ti

I work on about 25 paintings in the studio. Somehave been in ther

foryears. I wait for that muse to comeand work quickly to capture

the idea, themoment without a prior sketchor study. Thenastim

passes, I finish each one carefully. It is easy to lose track of how ma

get done ... Now that I have been making jewelry, its taken a bite ou

thepaintings,but I alwayswill be a painterand look forward toho

that brush back inmyhand.

working at IAIAin various capacities andmet Abeytawhen theartist

was a new student at the school.

Itwashardforhim tosit still,whichmademe wonderhow inthe

Harcourt recalled that Abeytawasdriven even asa youngman.

WhenAbeytawasplanning to study inEurope, he sold a number

f paintingsto help offsetthe costs.I thought that wasterrificand

howeda lotof initiative,Harcourt said.

He alsorecalledAbeytas generosity.Oneyear, Harcourt ran into

heartistafterSantaFe IndianMarket, andAbeyta gaveHarcourt a

arge painting. It was too large for him tocarry tohis car,Harcourt

aid. Hesaid, Thisonedidnt sell, so Id like youto have somethingfmine.

Abeytahas donated pieces of hiswork year after year for the IAIA

ala.Hehasalso servedas anadjunct facultymember, on theboard

f the foundation forIAIA andthe development committeefor the

Museumof IndianArts&Culture. In 2000, hepainted a largemural

nMIACs gatheringspace in thelowerlobby.

Tonyknowsitsimportant to look at therest of thecommunityand

o give back, saidGov. GeorgeRivera ofPojoaquePueblo, a friendof

Abeyta and a collector of hiswork.

Rivera,who is also a well-known artist,met thepainter when

Abeytawas studying in France. Riverawas a visiting art teacher and

Abeytawas his student. A number of Abeytas pieces now grace the

allways of theBuffalo Thunder Resort&Casino, whereRiverahas

Riverasaid that whilehehasmetmany talentedartists over the

work ethic. Tonyis anoutstanding artist,Rivera said.Hes been

LyndaRomero tooka red claypot fromthe shelf in the pottery

studioat thePoehCenterinPojoaquePueblo. Cradling thebowl

inher hands, she pointed toa chiponthe lip of the dryingpiece.

See, air bubbles, she said,shrugging. Lesson learned.

Romerostarted takingclassesat the center (whereshealsoworks)

18monthsago, though shes hadpottery classeselsewhere in thepast.

I like workingwith clay, shesaid. Its really forgiving. If youmess

up, you canbreak it downand start again.Romerodraws inspiration

from oldpottery shards,aswiththe geometric corndesignshepainted

ona bowl.

Ona recentevening, thepottery studiowas closed forthe dayand

empty. In-progress pieceswere carefullywrapped in plastic, neat

stacksofTupperwarecontaining earth-tonedglazeslinedonewall and

thesinkswerecleananddry.Though thestudiowas silent, Romerohad

no trouble conjuringtheimageof herclasses there.

Itslike a sewingcircle:Wetalk,we laugh,weeat, she said. In

addition toworking full time,Romerohas twoteenagers at home.

Weeklypottery classes are a refuge and give her peace ofmind.

Romero, whois fromPojoaquePueblo,is oneof nine emergingartists

tobe featuredat this yearsNativeTreasures IndianArtsFestival.

Every year,representatives fromtheMuseumof IndianArts&

Culture,which benefits from theevent, visit Poehs winter studentart

show to select newartists. Theemerging artist category gives brand-

newstudent artists the experienceof participating in a show,and the

exposure, saidKarenFreeman,Native Treasuresco-chairwoman.

Collectors alwayswant to seenewartists; theyre interested inwhats

exciting andnew.

This year, Poeh is theofficial sponsor of theemergingartistcategory,

whichmeans thecentermakesa financialcontributiontoMIAC.ThepartnershipbetweenPoehandthemuseumbeganseveral years ago,

ThePoehCenters mission is to preservePuebloculture andhistory

thing aboutPoeh thats reallygreatanddifferent is

that its the tribesall comingtogether. We become

Finding identity and direction

Ona Wednesdaynight in earlyApril, springwinds

howledalongU.S. 84/285, which runs beside the

Poeh complex, but inside the jewelry studio itwas

quiet andwarm. Students bent over blowtorches

and littlepiecesofmetal, surrounded by their

wares sheetsof silver, roughandpolished pieces

of turquoise, small tools, sketches forbracelets

andbolos.

FritzCasuse, the instructor of this andtwo other

classes, hastaughtat Poeh for12years. Casuse

wearsmatchingsilver hoopswith turquoisebeads

inhisears;hesan experienced jeweleranda

participating NativeTreasures artist.

This class is about findingyour identity and

yourdirection, said Casuse, who isDin (Navajo).

A lot of timesstudents come here to findpeace.

I find thesamething when Im creating. ...I love

teaching at Poehbecause theyvehelpedmewith mycareer, andImable to give back to the

community.

I always tell mystudents that Im just their

guide. [WhenI was learning]there was noone for

meto call, noonefor metohangoutwith.Butmy

studentswill call mewhen theyre at the jewelry

storewith questionsaboutwhat tobuy.

At a nearby table, another emerging artist,

MelbournePesataJr., peeredclosely at his in-

progresspiece,a ring with a bezel setting. The

metal heused ismokeme, he explained, a Japanese

term that translates roughly to wood grain.The

tiny sheet ofmetal, about tobeshapedintoa ring,

featuredaneasy swirl of copper, silverand brass.

Pesatais a largemanwithbig hands,which

madetheprecisejewelers tools hewasusing look

especiallytiny.Hes concernedwithdetails, like the

delicate patterns andinlayson his jewelry. Pesata

scrolled throughdozensof pictures ofhisworkon

several differentdesigns.Hepausedto lookat a

large silverdiscbearingan impressionof a Jicarilla

applicationof hisheritage tohiswork.

Pesata lives inDulce, a two-hour drive northof

Poeh. Hecommutes to thestudio twicea week.

The jewelry class is thefirst hes takenatPoeh,

though hes been beading foryears.I do beadwork

athome powwow regalia, hesaid. My kidsand

mywifedance, andI make their stuff so I dont

haveto buy it.

GenevieveWaquie, a third-semesterstudent

atPoeh, is theonly emergingartistwhowill have

donated to themuseum.Last year,the event raised$55,000 forMIAC.

Proceeds from theshowalso provideda $50,000match fora Save

AmericasTreasures grant to purchase storage units for thenew

Center forNewMexico Archaeology under constructionsouthwest

of SantaFe.

While museum exhibits are also funded by individual donors

anda basket exhibitreceived additional funding fromthe National

Endowmentfor theArtsmajor fundingcomes fromNative

Treasures.

For example,Woven Identities: Basketry Art From the Collection,

an exhibit running through April, 1, 2014. includes work from 60

cultural groups inNorthAmerica.Most of thebasketswere collected

between1900 and 1930,a timewhen even thefinest basketrywas

viewedas craft rather thanart. Theunfortunaterepercussion is

that only 44of the 221artists are identified, and some of thoseare

referred to as Young BobsWoman or Mrs. Jonny Jack.

Instead ofusing the typical anthropologicalapproachof grouping

by region, theskill andingenuity of theartists is highlightedby

groupingbaskets according to function,with labels identifying st

of construction,materialsanddesign.Traditional utility items, g

baskets andclothing areincluded, as areitemscreated forAnglo

customers, such as flaskcoversand cigarettecases.

Contributions appreciated

From itsinception, thearts festivalwasdesignedas a fundraiser

forMIAC.I thinkboth collectors aswell as artists shouldfeel go

aboutwhat theyredoing,Tisdale said. And I think a lot of the a

do.I think they feel theyredoingsomething for themuseum, eve

duringthese reallydifficulttimes. Andwe certainlyappreciate it

Contributinga portion of herproceedshas a very personal

connection forDin (Navajo) jeweler LizWallace. Forme,muse

aremagical, she said. I grewup inan abusive home, and one of

the fewbright pointsfor mewasgoingtomuseums.Museums ar

incredible institutions.

MIAC purchasesa piece for itspermanent collection everyye

andthe collection holdswork from29artistsshowing atNative

Creativity across the centuries

MIACexhibits extolAmerican Indian creativityacross thecenturies.

Margarete Bagshaw:Breaking theRules, is a 30-year retrospective

f theartistswork.Walkinginto theexhibit feels likewalking into

he artistssoul.Thecomplex, brilliantdesigns amix ofcubism,

modernismand transcendentalismdrawtheviewer into their

ortex, especially in theFibonaccispiral seriesshe created byrawing amathematically exact grid.Titlessuch asOutThereFrom

nHere andPagesFromMyLife a piece shapedlike anopenbook

suggest that is exactlywhat theartisthopes to do.

When I go intomypaintings, its like being insidemy dreams,

aid Bagshaw,who carries on the legacyof twoacclaimedartists,her

randmotherPablitaVelardeand hermother,HelenHardin.The

xhibit includes threepiecesfromherMotherLine series,which

ayhomage to the twowomen.

A video, producedby Bagshawshusband,DanMcGuinness, is

includedwith theexhibit andprovidesa glimpse into thewomanwho

created thework.ThevideohighlightsBagshawsartistic perspective,

such as herreaction topeopletellinghershe shouldpaint inearth

tones, the colorsof your people.

I find that amazing,because the colors I use are bigger than that;

they are thecolorsof myworld, Bagshaw says in thevideo.The

artist, whospent several years living in theU.S.VirginIslands,points

out that anycolorcanbe natural,dependingon whereyouare.The

exhibit runs throughDecember30, 2013.

Weaving cultures

Another exhibit,TheyWove forHorses:DinSaddleBlankets, isup

throughAugust 25.Although the frequentlyoverlooked saddle

blanketsarethe focalpointof theexhibit, curator JoyceBegay-Foss

took amore expansiveapproach, Tisdale said.

Insteadof just focusing on theweaving, shereally wantedto bring

Theexhibit highlights blanketsmade between 1860 and2002, as

well as silver andturquoise headstalls created byDin silversmiths.

Videos providea glimpse intoDin culture and the peoples

relationships to their horses, theirweaving andthe Churrosheep.

Themuseum is ourmuseum, said sculptor UptonEthelbah Jr.

(SantaClara/WhiteMountain Apache). Wehave ownership in the

museumas Indianpeople.Were very proud that the facilityeven

exists.

Themuseumhelpseducate peopleaboutNativeart andhistory,

thanjustanartshow; its anopportunity to support themuseum
