Build Community | Learn | Support Native American Art
The Heard Museum Guild is the volunteer arm of the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. With more than 400 members, the guild supports a wide range of activities that enrich the vibrancy of the museum and enhance its well-deserved reputation as a leading arts institution. Guild members choose from a vast array of volunteer opportunities that capture members’ skills, talents, and imagination.
Guild members also learn about Native American cultures, art, histories, and current issues through speaker programs, monthly guild meetings, biweekly newsletter communications, Heard Museum events, and more. Many members find deep and enduring friendships within the guild’s membership, artists, and museum staff.
Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market
The largest volunteer project is the extraordinary Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market, celebrating its 65th year in 2023.
The Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market is the second largest and second oldest Native American market in the nation. As the gathering place for art lovers and the community, the 2022 fair featured more than 600 preeminent Indigenous artists from across the United States and Canada and attracted more than 17,000 attendees.
The Heard Museum Guild provides over 650 volunteers for the Heard Museum Guild Fair and Market. The upcoming fair and market will be held on March 4 and 5, 2023.
