About the Show

This August, Faust Gallery celebrates its 30th anniversary with Indian Market & Show 2026, a three-day showcase of museum-quality Native American art in the heart of Santa Fe. Timed to coincide with the city’s legendary Indian Market weekend — when collectors, curators, and artists from around the world converge on the Plaza — the show gathers some of the most important names in Native American jewelry, past and present, under one roof, just steps from the Plaza at the gallery’s Lincoln Avenue location.

The weekend opens Friday, August 14th, with a Gallery Opening and Artist Reception from 5 to 7 p.m., offering collectors a first look at the works and a chance to meet featured artists in person. The show continues Saturday and Sunday, August 15–16, throughout Indian Market weekend.

The Artists

The exhibition is anchored by works from Charles Loloma (Hopi, 1921–1991), widely regarded as the most influential Native American jeweler of the twentieth century. Loloma revolutionized the field by pairing traditional materials like turquoise and coral with gold, ivory, lapis, and exotic woods, and his pieces remain among the most sought-after in the collecting world. Shown alongside him is Sonwai — Verma Nequatewa (Hopi), Loloma’s niece and longtime apprentice — who carries his sculptural sensibility forward in her own celebrated body of work.

Joining them are master inlay artist Jesse Monongya, known for his intricately detailed stone-on-stone night skies and landscapes; Wes Willie (Navajo), whose gold and high-grade turquoise work bridges traditional and contemporary design; Bo Monongya, continuing a distinguished family jewelry legacy; and Mia Zaara, whose bold cluster rings and wearable art bring a fresh, contemporary voice to the show.

Beyond jewelry, the gallery presents Hopi Katsina: An Exhibition, a curated gathering of carved katsina figures — from classic forms to expressive contemporary carvings — highlighting one of the gallery’s founding specialties.

About Faust Gallery

Founded in 1996 by Bill Faust, Faust Gallery continues the legacy of his great-aunt Lovena Ohl, hailed by The New York Times as the “doyenne of American Indian Art.” For three decades, the gallery has specialized in contemporary and historic Native American fine art — jewelry, katsina carvings, pottery, weavings, sculpture, and painting — serving collectors and institutions worldwide from its galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
