PIAM is the Sharlot Hall Museum’s Native American fine arts market, featuring Indigenous art, music, performances, demonstrations, and more. Over 80 top Native artists exhibit artwork in this juried show, showcasing art media ranging from oil painting and beadwork to pottery and weaving. The cost to get into the market is $10 and is free to members.

This year’s featured artist is Mona Laughin, a master weaver and a third-generation Navajo artist from Crystal, New Mexico. She is renowned for her stunning rugs that honor traditional weaving techniques while incorporating innovative designs and vibrant colors. Her work is inspired by her hometown’s well-known Crystal weaving style, but it also embraces regional and contemporary influences.

Mona’s artistry is deeply rooted in sustainability, as she uses wool that she raises and dyes herself from her family’s sheep farm. Her finely woven creations have earned her numerous awards, including the Zefren-M Textile Award and the Museum of Northern Arizona Spirit Award. Her rugs have been displayed at prestigious events such as the Smithsonian Native Art Market and the Santa Fe Indian Market, showcasing her exceptional craftsmanship.

In addition to her artistic accomplishments, Mona is a dedicated mentor and educator, committed to ensuring that the art of Navajo weaving thrives across generations. She has taught her six children and twelve grandchildren to weave, several of whom have become accomplished artists. Mona continues to nurture young talent through programs like the Reunion of the Masters Art Scholarship.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.
