GRAND REOPENING:
A NEW VISION FOR SHOPPING AT THE HEARD
For more than 40 years, the Heard Museum Shop has played a critical role in supporting the livelihoods of countless American Indian artists, helping to generate $46 million annually in economic activity across the state of Arizona and throughout Indian Country.
Moondance attendees will be the very first to step foot in the newly-renovated Heard Museum Shop. This fully-funded renovation project will improve every aspect of the in-person shopping experience, including the entirety of its 7,000-square-foot footprint, from new flooring and state-of-the-art lighting to a new outdoor sculpture garden and a private viewing room.
