Located in historic Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Native Renaissance II Art Gallery & Gift Shop features original sculptures & music by Mohawk artist Thomas B. Maracle, houses 30 other talented artists work, and showcases native artifacts. Our Gift Shop is over 3000 square feet of beautiful jewelry, crafts, and great gift ideas. Let your imagination transport you to a time long ago while you explore one of the most beautiful and unique Native Art Galleries & Gift shops.
Native Renaissance II Art Gallery & Gift Shop opened in 1978. Our rustic 25,000 square foot complex, houses our Art Gallery, retail Gift Store, administrative offices, and manufacturing & production facilities. On an outside wall of the manufacturing wing is an amazing 5,000 square foot mural of an ancient Indian village nestled in a landscape of pines forests and hills, beside a gently-flowing river.
On the second floor of our store is one the largest fine art galleries in the area. There you can see original sculptures, reproductions, paintings and limited editions by acclaimed native and wild-life artists including award-winning Mohawk sculptor, Thomas B. Maracle.
On the ground floor, our retail gift shop features authentic native arts and crafts, reproductions of Thomas' sculptures, collectibles, jewellery, books, moccasins, specialty foods, pure Canadian maple syrup, and home-made fudge.
Here too you can use our listen-before-you-buy audio display to sample a wide selection of CD's and audio tapes which include Solitudes, traditional, native, and award-winning original music by Thomas B. Maracle produced at his state-of-the-art multi-media studio Sa Tune Da Ga Studios.
Our administrative and sales office is located on the north side of the complex and is also the home of our graphic design department which creates our website, labels and promotional materials. Behind our offices are the manufacturing and production facilities where we produce, package and ship our high-quality, hand-made jewelry, candles, incense, moccasins, leather hand crafts and the stone reproductions of Thomas Maracle's original sculptures.
