The Featured Artist for 2025 is Mona Laughing, a master weaver and third-generation Navajo artist from Crystal, New Mexico. She is celebrated for her breathtaking rugs that honor traditional weaving techniques while embracing innovative designs and vibrant colors. Her work draws inspiration from her hometown's renowned Crystal weaving style but also incorporates regional and contemporary influences. Mona’s artistry is deeply rooted in sustainability, using wool she raises and dyes herself from her family’s sheep farm. Her finely woven creations have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Zefren-M Textile Award and the Museum of Northern Arizona Spirit Award.

Displayed at prestigious events like the Smithsonian Native Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market, her rugs showcase her exceptional craftsmanship. Beyond her artistic achievements, Mona is a dedicated mentor and educator, ensuring the art of Navajo weaving thrives across generations. She has taught her six children and twelve grandchildren to weave, several of whom have become accomplished artists, and she continues to nurture young talent through programs like the Reunion of the Masters Art Scholarship.

This event celebrates the artistry and culture of Indigenous communities from across the country.


About Sharlot Hall Museum


The Sharlot Hall Museum, located two blocks west of Prescott’s Courthouse Plaza, is one of Arizona’s premier history museums. Its four-acre campus tells Arizona’s story through exhibits, gardens, and historic buildings, including the 1864 Territorial Governor’s Mansion. Events and programs include the annual Prescott Indian Art Market, Sharlot’s Cellar, monthly Living History Adventure days and Hands-On History Programs, Frontier Christmas, and more.
The museum is named after its founder, Sharlot Mabridth Hall (1870-1943), who was a poet, activist, politician, and, as Territorial Historian, the first woman to hold a salaried office in Arizona. As early as 1907, Hall saw the need to save Arizona’s history. She began to collect Native American and pioneer materials with plans to develop a museum. In 1927, Hall started renovating the first Territorial Governor’s residence and offices to house her extensive collection
of artifacts and documents. The Gubernatorial Mansion Museum opened in 1928. After Hall’s death in 1943, the museum was renamed in her honor.
