Since it’s founding by Dwight and Maie Heard in 1929, the Heard Museum, located in Phoenix Arizona, has grown in size and stature to become recognized internationally for the quality of its collections, its educational programming, it’s festivals and for its world-class shop. Dedicated to the sensitive and accurate portrayal of Native arts and cultures, the Heard is an institution that successfully combines the stories of American Indian people from a personal perspective with the beauty of art.

Through innovative programs, world-class exhibitions and unmatched festivals, the Heard Museum sets the standard nationally for collaborating with Native people to present first-person voices. Partnerships with American Indian artists and tribal communities provide visitors with a distinctive perspective about the art and cultures of Native people, especially those from the Southwest.

The Heard Museum Shops continues this collaboration and partnership. The shop has grown from its humble 1956 beginnings to become one of the nation’s finest purveyors of American Indian art. The majority of pieces in the extensive inventory are purchased directly from hundreds of artists. Only the finest in authentic American Indian jewelry, pottery, paintings, sculpture, Katsina dolls and weavings are selected for sale. A variety of books relating to American Indian cultures and the Southwest are also available including hard-to-find selections and publications by American Indian authors. Bruce McGee, Director of Retail Sales of the Heard Museum Shops, has spent his entire life dealing with purchasing and selling American Indian art. Mr. McGee states "The Heard Museum Shops guarantee all of our handmade products to be authentic. That is the promise of the Heard Museum."
