Summer Artist Showcase - Ernest & Veronica Benally

Join us this summer for a captivating Artist Showcase at The Fort! Each weekend we will feature a different talented artist displaying and selling their work exclusively at our historic venue.

August 22-24: Ernest & Veronica Benally Showcase

Ernest and Veronica Benally are an acclaimed husband-and-wife duo celebrated for their masterful inlay jewelry. Veronica, originally from the Navajo reservation in Northern Arizona, began silversmithing in 1993 and is known for her contemporary channel and mosaic inlay, especially the detailed corn-row technique. Ernest, from Gallup, New Mexico, has been creating jewelry since the 1970s, working in sterling silver and gold with natural gemstones and seashells. His work incorporates mosaic, cobblestone, and hand-cut cabochon styles. Together, their award-winning creations have been honored at top markets including the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and the Santa Fe Indian Market.

Experience the rich artistic heritage of the West with an array of Spanish, Native American, and Western artists, each bringing their unique style and storytelling to life through their creations. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind piece to take home, this is a wonderful opportunity to engage with local and regional artists in a stunning setting.

Stop by, explore, and celebrate the artistry that shapes the spirit of the West—only at The Fort!
