Store Review: Indian River Gallery
Who says Las Vegas lacks art and culture? While this sinfully wonderful city is mostly known for exciting gambling and top-notch entertainment, Vegas is indeed home to some impressive galleries and talented local artists.
Located within the walkways of Miracle Mile at planet hollywood is Indian River Gallery – the only Five Star Museum Quality gallery in its class and featuring only one-of-a-kind pieces. It is a pure treasure in Las Vegas. Prices range from $15 and up, and customers vary from walk-in tourists attracted to the beauty of the store to serious collectors who invest in pieces intended to stay within the family forever.
“Each piece is one-of-a-kind and hand made,” said Hillary Noles, Gallery Manager. “And there’s symbolism in everything, so to our clients the pieces mean something personal.” From hand carved fetishes to pottery, jewelry, bronze artwork, paintings and more, customers discover delightfully beautiful Native American art at Indian River Gallery.
But if you don’t live in Las Vegas or can’t make it here, yet you desire to get your hands on some of the wonderful pieces at Indian River Gallery, shopping online is an option. You would be in good company, too, as celebrities are known to shop here. “In fact, we just got a new online client… Eric Clapton,” reported Timothy Hancock, Project Manager.
Often featured in magazines such as Cowboys & Indians and Luxury Las Vegas, the popularity of Indian River Gallery continues to grow. Having been a Miracle Mile merchant for the past four years, the gallery is owned by Dick and Mary Cabela (of Cabela’s fame) and is considered to be their “other passion.”
One of the most interesting aspects of Indian River Gallery is their collection of award-winning pieces. The gallery acquires various pieces awarded ribbons from the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts yearly competitions, and when a customer purchases the piece, she also receives the awarded ribbon along with her purchase.
This blogger was especially impressed with Indian River Gallery’s enormous collection of Southwestern and Native American jewelry. Again… all of which are hand-made. What really caught my eye was the stunning and surprisingly fashionable collection from Aldrich Jewelry. Fashion? At a Native American art gallery? Yes, it’s true. You’ll find this and so much more at Indian River Gallery.
Artists showcased at Indian River Gallery include up and coming artists as well as popular, highly acclaimed artists. And very month, Indian River Gallery features a different artist. To stay updated on events and featured artists, follow Indian River Gallery on Twitter and become a fan of their Facebook page. Currently available at the Indian River Gallery Facebook page is a 10% coupon, which is especially important as the gallery never hosts sales or discounts their merchandise.
Look for another upcoming Indian River Gallery special offer in the Country Music Awards’ ACM Souvenir Magazine on April 18. And visit the gallery’s website at IndianRiverGallery.com or stop by to see them personally at their location in the Miracle Mile in the South Hall. Be sure to tell them Go Shop Vegas sent you!
