Art Dealers Directory

This site is designed for novice and experienced Native American Indian arts and crafts collectors. I`ve attempted to include profiles of only those dealers who can be trusted to trade ethically and offer authentic American Indian art. My hope is that you will find dealers profiled here with whom you will develop long term relationships based upon trust and a shared love of the artists their art and their traditions.

Bahti Indian Arts (Tucson)

If you are a collector or just an appreciator of Indian art, Bahti is a shop you want to buy from. Representing Native American Artists has been a Bahti family tradition for many years. Mark's dad opened the Ghost Ranch Trading Post in Abiquiu, NM in 1949 and in 1949 or 50 moved to Tucson and opened up his own shop.

Andrews Pueblo Pottery

There a few must visit shops in Old Town and Andrews is one of them. Helen Andrews, who is sadly no longer with us, was a full time school guidance counselor who spent her afternoons after school driving around to the Pueblos buying art for a shop she opened in 1974. Over the years she developed great friendships with artists such as Maria Martinez, Margaret Tafoya and many others. Bob, her son, who owns and runs Andrews today has continued to develop wonderful relationships with many great artists.

River Trading Post

What a treat to visit Joe's Scottsdale shop. And even more exciting was the fact that it was the week of the 52nd Heard Museum Guild Indian Market and River Trading Post had invited many artists to come to the shop and meet collectors. ALWAYS plan to go to the Heard a couple of days early and do the Art Walk on Thursday night. Joe tells me that there were at least 700 people around, artisans everywhere and live Indian music. I, sadly, missed the event, but met several artists later in the week. The nice thing about meeting the artists is you get to talk with them about how they started doing their art, what's involved, what they like/dislike about the work, where they live, where they show and on and on. It's fun and an honor to meet these incredibly talented people

Grey Dog Trading

The first thing you notice when you walk into the shop is two photos of grey dogs. Kent will tell you which one was the first shop mascot and which came later. The current grey dog, he explains, "is a really nice dog, but she's a face licker. Not all customers like to have their face licked so she's not allowed in the shop." It's comfortable being in Grey Dog before you step more than 10 feet through the front door.
