“We are very pleased and proud to be continuing this exciting event in San Francisco” said John Morris, partner in Objects of Art Shows. “Many of the exhibitors are old friends and we look forward to working with them to continue building this show as the most important of its kind in the country.”

Crafted to meet the needs of tribal art collectors and enthusiasts, the show presents a comprehensive selection of national and international galleries representing the art and artifacts of indigenous peoples throughout the world.

“It’s been such a pleasure to build the San Francisco Tribal & Textile Arts Show over the past 30 years, but the time has come for me to pass the torch. I have every confidence that Kim Martindale and John Morris will continue to grow the show and make it even more successful, and I look forward to working with them through the transition” states Elizabeth Lees, founder of the San Francisco Tribal & Textile Arts Show. “I’m not quite ready for full retirement yet however, I will still be working on the New York Ceramics & Glass Fair and as a consultant to the Tribal Show.”
