Faust Gallery is excited to share with you 35 years in experience as we celebrate21 years in business with the opening of our new Santa Fe Gallery at 114 E. Palace Ave.
Considering the spectacular new direction in jewelry created by American Indian artists, I remember how Lovena described them as the American equivalent of Faberge. I also recall a quote by Pual Smith of New York’s American Craft Museum who said ” They ( the jewelers) have attended a whole new aesthetic level, keeping the vital connection with the past, yet transcending it. I believe these artists have given to jewelry what jazz gave to music – a uniquely American contribution. They create beautiful works of art that can be worn, and by doing so, have earned international recognition”Bill Faust II

Blue Rain Gallery
Leroy Garcia founded Blue Rain Gallery in 1993 in an upstairs bedroom of his family’s home at the entrance to the Taos Pueblo. He only sold about $20,000 worth of art that first year, but over time he could guide the gallery to critical acclaim and financial success. He moved the operation to a larger site near the Taos Plaza, then expanded to Santa Fe, where the gallery remains today on the Santa Fe Railyard. Over the course of this expansion, Garcia demonstrated his knack for staying ahead of the curve in a variety of ways. Blue Rain first made its name as the country’s premier venue for contemporary Native art, displaying museum-quality works that showcased the sophistication and creativity of artists who pushed the boundaries of traditional art forms. Throughout its two-and-a-half decades, the gallery gradually expanded to include a broad array of non-Native works as well, presenting a wide-ranging stable of artists who have in common the qualities of refinement and innovation that Garcia seeks. “Over the years, the gallery has become more diverse,” he says. “It used to be focused entirely on contemporary Native art. Now it’s a mixture of everything —contemporary, Native, regional, Hispanic, and glass art, among other genres. It was a natural evolution that became more deliberate after we realized the evolution was happening.”
Morningstar Gallery
Since the establishment of Morningstar Gallery in 1984, the gallery has been recognized for carrying cultural and artistic treasures of unparalleled quality and beauty from over fifty Native North American tribes.

Over the last few years we have expanded our areas of expertise and product line to include antique New Mexican furniture and devotional art. We are also proud to now represent the best Native American artists working today.
