Unique Experiences

Item Description

Native American Art is hot with collectors and the market is changing fast. Do you collect Native American art or want to know how to start? There are many issues with forming any art collection and there are special considerations when collecting Native American art.

According to the Santa Fe Convention and Vistiors bureau, Santa Fe is considered the third largest art market in the U.S. based on sales with over 240 art galleries and dealers in town. Of those galleries there are now five that are owned by Native Americans.

You are bidding on lunch and discussion for you and a friend with the two artist/owners of LoneDog Noise Cat Gallery in Santa Fe which specializes in Neo-Aboriginal Art!

Ed Archie NoiseCat and Todd LoneDog Bordeaux had been showing their art for over a decade together from Seattle to Indianapolis to Phoenix and Santa Fe. As their paths crossed and their friendship grew, so did their outlook on marketing and show ideas. The seed for a Native American/First Nations gallery formulated when the artists met at the Eiteljorg Museum in June 2013. Seven days later, they had the lease to 241 Delgado street in Santa Fe NM.

You and a friend will be able to join Ed and Todd for lunch at the Zia Diner and a tour of their gallery and other relevent spots as you discuss the market, your particular interests and learn more about their work, their experiences and connections.
