The Heard Museum and the Heard Museum Guild comply with the requirements of the Indian Arts & Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) which makes it illegal to market an art or craft item in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian-produced. Under the Act, an Indian is defined as a member of any federally or officially State recognized Indian tribe, or an individual certified as an Indian by an Indian Tribe.

A first-time applicant must submit a copy of his or her tribal enrollment form or Artisan Letter from a Federally or officially State recognized tribe with this application. Canadian Indians must provide a copy of a Canadian Indian Status Card.

Youth Artists

Artists 17 years old and under at the time of the Fair whose relatives have been accepted into the Fair may sell their work in their relatives' booth, but may not enter Juried Competition. There is no application or booth fee for youths but they must submit a separate application and proof of tribal enrollment and must be present at the Fair. To request an application for Youth Artists, please text or call 480.285.6626 or email excomm@heardguild.org.

Artists in grades 7 through 12 (even if they are 18 at the time of the Fair) may enter their art in the Youth Art Show & Sale which takes place on the same weekend as our Indian Fair & Market. All art submitted by Youth Artists in those grades will be judged the week prior to the Fair & Market See www.heardguild.org/youth-art-show-sale for further information.

Please note that an artist who is 18 at the time of the Fair and attends high school may enter either the Fair & Market as an adult or the Youth Art Show & Sale, but not both.
