Hozhoni Gallery, Flagstaff - Outsider Art

A MUST SEE whenever in Flagstaff is the Hozhoni Gallery. The artists, referred to as clients, have developmental disabilities so the work is bonafide outsider.
Open Saturday 10 - 4. But they'll glady open it for you if you go to the main office and ask. The low prices add to the delight. The Cat is $25.00.

Flagstaff, AZ 86004

The Mask is almost two feet tall and about a foot wide.

    1. It's hidden at the end of Steve's Road in the industrial area. There used to be a Goodwill place nearby where they had free showers; I chanced upon it while waiting my turn. Sorry to take so long to reply...just got to Beatty, Nevada where there's wifi. Happy Valentine's Day!!!

    1. These folks are amazing!! I've toyed with the idea of opening a gallery for their art in downtown Flag, but I'm enjoying retirement too much. You know how it is. ; - )
