LOOM Indigenous Art Gallery
The LOOM Indigenous Art Gallery is Gallup’s smallest gallery, occupying about 30 square feet of space. But what the LOOM Gallery lacks in size, it makes up for in punch. LOOM is a cutting-edge and experimental space spotlighting rising star, innovative, and contemporary Indigenous artists from across the continent, from Los Angeles to Toronto. This next generation of artists is socially engaged, bringing fresh voices, different perspectives and a whole lotta style to Gallup.
