If you go

Who: General public
What: Annual Southwestern Textile and Indian Jewelry Sale to benefit the Joe Ben Wheat Textile Fund at the CU Museum of Natural History
When: Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
Where: William Matthews Studio at 2540 Walnut St. in Downtown Denver

More than 150 antique and contemporary Navajo weavings from the Toh-Ahtin gallery along with a special selection of jewelry by Indigenous artists will be sold at heavily discounted rates at a benefit fundraiser to support the ongoing care and preservation of the Joe Ben Wheat Navajo Textile Collection at the CU Museum of Natural History.

This year’s collection of new and antique weavings showcases the artistry and beauty of Native weaving—a tradition that goes back centuries. From giant, decorative rugs to smaller saddle blankets and throws, these expertly crafted textiles are unique and handmade by individual artists using traditional techniques.

“The primary goal of the sale is to raise money for the museum’s collection and to support Native artists,” says Jackson Clark II, whose family has been working with textile artists in Colorado and the Southwest since 1957. Clark and his family, have evolved the sale into a learning experience, hoping to expand people’s awareness of Navajo weaving.

Members of the community are invited to bring weavings for an expert evaluation from Ben Leroux, a respected restoration authority, and Clark will share his expertise through a lecture on the history of Southwestern weaving.

Proceeds from this sale go to benefit the CU Museum of Natural History in Boulder and are used to support the conservation and care of the museum’s textile collection. New this year, Curator William Taylor will also be on hand to talk about the important role of textiles in horse culture and horse tack across the American West.

“This is a special opportunity to share and talk about the connection between people and horses, and one of the world’s most important artistic traditions—and at the same time, to support our stewardship of history and culture for the future.”

This year’s sale will be held in the artist studio of William Matthews in the Rino Arts District of Lo-Do in Denver.

“This sale is one of the main ways that we can help raise funds to care for the textiles of the past, while supporting the artists that are carrying it into the future…” Taylor says. “I hope that folks from our Front Range community can come visit and be a part of this special event.”

Navajo weavings and jewelry by Indigenous artists will be on sale to support the care and preservation of a CU Museum of Natural History collection. Attendees can bring their own weavings for free, informal evaluations. There will also be an expert talk.
