The Craig Collection

This wonderful collection of Native American art, primarily from the Southwest, was assembled by a former schoolteacher who worked in the Gallup and Zuni areas during his career. He started collecting the pieces as a child and always felt a draw towards handcrafted Native American art.

Originally from the Midwest, he was exposed to Indian art during his parents' vacations. They encouraged his interest, sometimes helping him with a dollar or two to make small purchases.

It was a difficult decision for him after 6 decades of collecting, but he has decided to pass the collection on to people who will treasure and appreciate it as he has. He has enjoyed these treasures and has wonderful memories of his time living and working with the Pueblo and Navajo people.

He hopes you enjoy them as well!
