Visitors check out our private show in Vicenza Italy. We displayed work from 12 artists and 2 artists travelled with us for the show exclusively of Native Art Network artists.

Our Mission is to cultivate appreciation for Native American Fine Art and support Native Artists, Families and Commmunities in a good way. Click here for more information.

Native Art Network is 100% American Indian owned and operated by Paul and Lesley Kabotie (Hopi / Santa Clara Pueblo and Crow respectively). Our families of the Southwest and Northern Plains have a long history of involvement in the arts. The driving inspiration behind the web site was the desire of artists within our families and communities to have an affordable professional marketing presence on the internet. We have merged our experience and expertise in the areas of the arts, marketing, business, software, database and internet technologies to create a web site that is easy for artists to setup, can be updated easily by the artists themselves, is actively marketed and is visited by art collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.

Initially started in 1998, we kicked off with a bang. In 1999, we took artwork from 12 artists to a show in Milan Italy, and then collaborated to host a 3 week private show in Vicenza Italy exclusively for Native Art Network artists. We received critical acclaim in Italy, had over two thousand people visit our art show, and were featured in international publications and continue to be visited from people around the world on a daily basis. Our current marketing venues include advertisements in Native Peoples magazine and major art show programs.

With the new database-driven functionality, we are able to provide a valuable marketing tool to artists and people looking for fine American Indian Art. Our ultimate goal is to provide a quality service to inform and educate prospective buyers, and to facilitate marketing opportunites that benefit Native Artists.

We have developed a unique business model in which we educate and inform, provide professional service and yet make no profit on the modest annual fees we charge artists. Artist fees go directly toward technology and marketing the web site. We don't charge commission for our services. Our profit comes from advertising, sponsorships and broker service fees.
