Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association

[1] Members offer buyers a guarantee that objects they sell are as represented regarding age, authenticity and extent of restoration.

Their objectives are to promote professional conduct among dealers and to educate the public in the valuable role of tribal art in the wealth of human experience.

The first issues of the ATADA Newsletter were published in 1988, first edited by Gary Spratt, then by Ramona Morris, then by Gordon Lorenzo Fritz, then by Alice Kaufman.

In addition to demonstrating a commitment to enriching the cultural lives of their communities, members share their expertise through significant exhibition, informative catalogs, and by offering quality works of art whose authenticity is unconditionally guaranteed.

The ATADA Lifetime Achievement Awards recognize and celebrate the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of people whose work has been both groundbreaking and instrumental to the fields of American Indian and Tribal art.
