On Friday, August 20, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian hosted their annual benefit auction during the Santa Fe Indian Market.
Proceeds from the fundraiser support museum operations and allow the Wheelwright to remain open daily and free to the public.
During the auction preview, potential bidders could also view the Art-for-Wear Designer Showcase, which featured Native couture by top designers.
Back by popular demand, this year's showcase spotlighted Patricia Michaels, Pilar Agoyo, Penny Singer, Dorothy Grant, Teri Greeves, Margaret Roach Wheeler, and TahNibaa Naat'aanii.
I attended the event with my friend Sherry Farrell Racette, and we caught up with designers TahNibaa and Pilar, and volunteers Eslee and Yara.
Here's some pictures from the event!
