Native artists' coDisigrarsnieiiits welcome
Dear interested artists,
A long-time dream is coming to
pass to have my own shop featuring
Native art by Native American art
ists. My involvement in the Native
community in Eugene with art and
gatherings has exposed me to many
artists and their talents. I believe
the Native community here could
benefit from a shop run by one of
their own who understands them and
what they don't want to see sold as
art, namely ceremonial objects. To
protect the sacred part of our heri
tage please be assured I will not have
for sale any of these type of objects,
nor will I display plastic or foreign
made goods to look "Indian."
I plan to display items in an artis
tic and educational way. It is pos
sible in a shop like this to help bring
cultures together to help non-Indians
understand who we are and to
break down stereotypes. Along with
your work, I will include a brief his
tory of who you are and a note about
whether you take special orders.
My proposal is that I would display
your work for 60 days. This is pref
erable for two reasons: 1) test the
market to be sure it is in demand, 2)
rotate your product to maintain va
riety in the shop. After this we can
decide what
you would like
to do next.
My history in
retail sales has
been exten
sive. Working
at Southwest
Journey for
five years ex
posed me to proper display in an ar
tistic and respectful way. I've done
all aspects from shipping and receiv
ing to management in my 25 years
of professional retail sales. I have
also sold my own crafts at county
fairs, craft shows, pow-wows and re
tail consignment shops.
I can provide a work history and
references if you so desire. Please
call me at (541) 431-0011 for inquir
ies, or just to meet me. Appointments
will be necessary for potential con
signors to bring their products. I
hope you'll leave a message if I'm not
in and I will return your call.
I am very excited about this project
and I hope we can work together to
make the shop a good place.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Nunez
