Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

I N D I G O was founded in 1986 by Tony Fisher and the late Deborah (Devi) Cholet. They wanted Indigo to be a place to share their enthusiasm for folk art and offer the treasures they had found in their travels to the public.

They brought to Indigo not only an eye for design but their lifetimes of travel, collecting and study of the arts of other cultures.

Devi Cholet had collected folk art since she was a child in rural Pennsylvania. Trained in Fine Arts and Interior Design, she had combined her talents in the design of jewelry since 1983.

Anthony Fisher grew up in Africa and after college returned to work as a volunteer for Catholic Relief Services in Lesotho. He studied African art and history at Yale and received a master's degree in architecture from the University of Pennnsylvania.

Tony relocated the Indigo Arts Gallery and the indigoarts.com website to the Crane Arts Building, in the growing arts district in the Northern Liberties/South Kensington area of Philadephia.
