Best of Show Award

We are delighted to announce that Howard R. & Joy M. Berlin and Kristine & Leland W. Peterson
are sponsoring the Best of Show Award at $10,000 for 2019.
We were able to increase the Best of Show Award from $4,500 to $10,000 in 2018 because of the generous support of the Berlins and Petersons. The renewal of this gift enables the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market and its Juried Competition to continue attracting the best American Indian artists and their creative and technically excellent art. Lee Peterson is Treasurer of the Heard Museum Board of Trustees and Howard Berlin is a Life Trustee of the Heard Museum. The Guild thanks the Berlins and Petersons for their generous support of the Indian Fair & Market and our outstanding artists.
