Southwest Folklife Alliance will host an open-air winter market featuring artwork by Indigenous, African American and Mexican American heritage-based artists from Loom.Market. Find handmade Mata Ortiz pottery, African American Southern-style hats and Indigenous jewelry.

Loom Holiday Art Market + Silent Auction is 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 1, at the Pima County Historic Courthouse, in the Courtyard, 115 N. Church Avenue. Admission is free.

Loom.Market is an online marketplace where heritage-based artists can sell work, network and preserve cultural knowledge. Loom also offers professional development for artists, helps artists build community with other artists and supporters, and facilitates peer-to-peer learning workshops.

The event features live music, artist sales throughout the day and a silent auction at dusk. Light refreshments and hot chocolate will also be available. Purchases and proceeds from the auction directly support heritage-based artists in building their businesses, and their access to professional development opportunities.

Loom artist Homer Marks Jr. creates woodcarvings and Hopi Kachinas, an artform he learned from his Hopi relatives. Marks has been creating artwork for more than 20 years.

“I use the inspiration from both my Hopi and Tohono O’odham background,” he said. “My carvings represent the strong ties between both my cultures.”

  2. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year – and the problem is getting worse. Yet, because financial fraud normally occurs out of public view, many victims feel isolated and ashamed. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done.

    It’s typical for victims of financial fraud to experience all these emotions according to Dr. Traci Williams, a board-certified psychologist and certified financial therapist. She adds that victims may also feel angry, violated, anxious, shocked, sad, and hopeless. Moreover, even a small loss can have a profound impact on victims.

    Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,440 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about RestoreChef. I contacted him via his email on restorechef@gmail.com and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him.
