The Arts District will soon get a new retail store stocked with Native-made arts and crafts. The nonprofit IndigenousAF, founded by local artist Fawn Douglas and UNLV professor A.B. Wilkinson, announced last week that it has already met one-third of a three-year fundraising goal for the space near Charleston Boulevard and 3rd Street.

“We’ll be bringing artists and artwork back into that space,” Wilkinson said at a November 12 announcement at the organization’s first gallery, Nuwu Art Gallery and Community Center.

The new venue will bring 700 square feet of retail space, 1,600 square feet of gallery space and 1,500 square feet of mixed-use space to a neighborhood that saw the closure of Priscilla Fowler Fine Art Gallery last year. According to Douglas, it will be the city’s premier Indigenous arts and crafts retailer, offering authentic creations that support Native American and local artists. The store, called IndigenousAF, is expected to open in the first quarter of 2026.

On Black Friday, November 28, the nonprofit will have a pop-up sale at Nuwu Art Gallery (1331 S. Maryland Parkway) previewing some of the items that will be sold at IndigenousAF. More information is available at indigenousaf.org.
