Allan Houser Art Tour

October 13, 2026 at 10:30 AM .

In celebration of indigenous people’s culture and art, Alnoba is pleased to offer, for the first time, a tour of art created by Native American artists located on its property in Kensington, NH. Highlighted during the tour will be sculptures created by Alan Houser (1914-1994) a renowned Chiricahua Apache artist regarded as the foremost Native American artist of the 20th century and the first to be awarded the National Medal of Arts. His works can be found in numerous major museum collections throughout North America.

The tour, led by Alnoba docent, Tom Van Loon, among other docents, will reflect on Houser’s personal history, his artistic range, and the importance of indigenous culture in contemporary life.

About the Artist

Allan Houser (Haozous) was the first Indigenous American awarded the National Medal of Arts. His father was a relative of Geronimo, and his family was imprisoned along with other Apache resistance fighters in St. Augustine, Florida for twenty years. Alan was the first child in his family to be born outside captivity.
