6th Annual Art Auction to Spotlight Unifying Generations for Native Rights

Santa Fe, NM-The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) will be holding its 6th Annual "Visions for the Future" Benefit Art Auction Friday, August 17th, 2007 at La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The annual auction, held on the eve of the opening of the Santa Fe Indian Market, has become one of the premier events during the Market. Last year, was the most successful year for the Benefit Art Auction which raised more than $80,000 to benefit NARF's non-profit legal and advocacy work on behalf of Native peoples.

The theme for this year's auction will be "Bridging Generations In Support of Native Rights." NARF will do a special showcase of artists' works that are donated by intergenerational artist families. Visions for the Future Featured artists this year are Rollie and Shayna Grandbois (age 16), who are a father and daughter and sculptors, and Dorothy Grandbois who is a photographer and instructor at the Institute of American Indian Arts. The special showcase will highlight the spirit of not only keeping our traditional cultural lifeways alive through our families but also bridging generations in support of defending Native rights.

It's Not Too Late to Donate Art or Become an Auction Sponsor!

NARF is still seeking art donations from individual Native artists as well as additional sponsors for the event. Your donation, whether monetary, art, jewelry and other items for our silent and live auctions goes a long way in making our critical work on behalf of Native rights possible as the threats to tribal sovereignty and our traditional lifeways still continue.

Please consider lending your support by attending the event and/or making a tax deductible donation today. See below for clickable links to art donation and sponsorship information. For further information please contact Crystal Echo Hawk, NARF Assistant Director of Development at 303.447.8760 or via email: cry...@narf.org
