Printed Village Scarf Competition

Fabric flowing, emblazoned with ancient designs painted in bright contemporary colors - scarves in peach geometric patterns or blue organic forms to wrap around and bring the ancient ones back from beyond.

This is the goal of Printed Village's new scarf design competition.

Each month Printed Village holds a contest and the winning design is then transformed into scarves for small boutiques and big retailers like Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Barneys.

Putting Artists in the Center: The Indigenous Fine Art Market

It's no surprise then that Santa Fe lays claim to the biggest gathering of Native American artists: every August, thousands of Native artists come together to participate either directly in the annual Santa Fe Indian Market (headed up by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts) or indirectly, participating in the numerous periphery events happening on the fringes.

Etkie: Invest in Women

A single beaded bracelet, wrapped around your wrist. A beautiful symbol of resilience, survival, creativity. The beads, perfectly structured, loomed, straight lines, a collection of colors harmonize. These patterns are electric - they hold stories; these colors are vibrant - they capture spirit; these concepts are ancient - they hold our heart.
