"Native Art Network is 100% Native American owned and operated by Paul and Lesley Kabotie (Hopi / Santa Clara Pueblo and Crow respectively). Our families of the Southwest and Northern Plains have a long history of involvement in the arts.

San Francisco's city covered in public art allows visitors to gain a better understanding of the culture and history of the city itself; since the establishment of the Art Enrichment Ordinance the city has funded artists to portray their work throughout the various buildings of the city.

I grew up in San Francisco and I have always appreciated the art around the city. The most memorable are the different heart sculptures that have been placed around downtown.

I have been there many times and I always want to live in SF. Everything in San Francisco is beautiful and artistic but At&t park is the most beautiful building in there to me

Founded in 1846, the Smithsonian is the world's largest museum and research complex, consisting of 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and nine research facilities.

I visited the Smithsonian museums when I was in 8th grade and still have very distinct memories from the trip! Loved all the history you are surrounded by. Great place to visit within your lifetime.

When I was younger I visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. I believe it was then that sparked my interest in aerial vehicles that I have had and continued to have today. I have the arts and cultural world to thank for that.
