Native Art Market - Scottsdale, Arizona

Amazing art market! I was on a personal mission to find a turquoise necklace from our trip to Arizona. I will be returning for a few more art pieces that caught my eye.

The very kind person working there shared knowledge of artists. She also said they are opening up a Fry bread Lounge next door end of August 2024. She gave us a great recommendation to a nearby place called Hope’s Frybread. Excellent food!

Tyrell was amazing and super helpful! The history and hand crafted items are very cool to see and they even have handcrafted ornaments and jewelry!

We stopped by today my son purchased a sleeping beauty bracelet from Tyrell. Excellent service real native American jewelry. Hand crafted by artisans. Authentic merchandise. When you see something you love, get it or it will be gone. I have purchased several items. Check it out often.

The first Native-owned and operated store in Old Town Scottsdale! I *implore* you to spend your time and money here first before going to other nearby stores, even if they sell copycats. The products in this store are handmade by indigenous people in the Arizona community. You will see the artists' picture and read some of their stories throughout the store. Profits are directly deposited to the artist. On the day that I visited, there were two different local artists tabling as well as a performer dancing/singing live. The store has only been open for two years, but they have recently won Business of the Year award and rightfully so! Products are of quality and the people are the warmest that I met during my time in Arizona (which is saying a lot since most people here are friendly). I drove about 30 minutes just to shop at this one store, and it was totally worth it for everything that this shop is about: community, culture, creative expression, empowerment, love. Attached pictures are the beautiful pieces that I happily and proudly walked away with. Thank you for opening this gem of a business and I wish you continued prosperity! ❤️

I am an incredibly sentimental person who prioritizes the importance of finding local artists and supporting them directly wherever I go. This was one of the only shops I wanted to go to in all of Scottsdale for this reason. I'm from Canada and I was looking for a shop that focuses on local art and artisans. I found "Native Art Market" through a quick Google search. Upon arrival, I learned from the passionate owner (shout-out to Heather) about how this is the first gallery that is 100% Native owned in all of Scottsdale. The pieces are bought from artists directly and they are displayed with the utmost intention. Nothing is just for show here, more often than not these pieces are one of a kind. The atmosphere is something that cannot easily be reproduced and it sure has the most bountiful displays. I was in awe of the detailed interior that showcases the many artists, not just from the art that's displayed, but as well the floor itself contains a memory from when this gallery had first opened. You can feel the joy emanating from the space. I've been to handmade artisan markets in my local area of Calgary Alberta, but this is the most artist focused space that I've ever had the delight of walking into. I bought many gifts to bring back to my friends. I wanted to buy the whole store. Every item is something that I would be proud to have in my home and in the hands of those I love. It speaks volumes to the importance of doing your research and making sure that you are buying pieces from creators directly. Mass created works of art cannot stand up so strongly to the curated collection that you will find in the Native Arts Market. There is such a bountiful collection of pieces that spoke to my heart. If I was local, I'd visit often to see the new artists and embrace my favorite local artists. I have found much joy in my short visit. I also learned that this is frequently a spot for local musicians to showcase their talents. I would love to come here and listen to music surrounded by such a heartfelt environment. It was incredibly life-changing. I will be back to visit if I am in the area and I know this store will continue to flourish because supporting local is something that people are and should be passionate about. You know you're in a magnificent space when the owner is sitting behind the counter chatting with you. Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable. I felt comfortable asking questions and getting curious about these phenomenal artists.

Great store with a ton of interesting items. The majority of items are a little pricey, but very unique. We picked up a few things. The staff was very helpful and polite.

Wonderful shop that showcases many beautiful indigenous products. Tyrell was very helpful and gave us background information about every product we were curious about. A great place to get a gift for you or a loved one.

Fabulous shop we drove from the west valley to check it out. . So friendly and prices are great! Was the only shop with authentic beaded items. We looked in many jewelry shops and it’s the only one we bought from. In the other stores they are so expensive or the items were imported. SUPORT THIS SHOP! You’ll love it.
