Romero, who owns Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Cara Romero Gallery, has become one of the most revered indigenous artists of her generation. Her work, which blends fine art with editorial photography, has appeared in more than 10 museum group exhibitions over the last year, including Romero’s first-ever museum solo exhibition at Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum in Hanover, New Hampshire.

According to event organizers, this Scottsdale Art Week Fair will be jam-packed with cultural programming, immersive exhibitions and other exclusive events and opportunities.
