CURRENT EXHIBIT
MAY 5 - AUGUST 31, 2012
HOPI SUMMER
Based On the Book by Carolyn O’Bagy Davis, this exhibit features Hopi Pottery and memorabilia reflecting the Hopi community in the 1920’s. The book describes a trip by an Eastern family to the Hopi mesas in 1927 and an amazing friendship that family developed with a Hopi family. The exhibit includes several photographs that depict the struggles of travel at that time as well as features of the Hopi community. The book, Hopi Summer, was selected in 2011 by OneBookAz as the book Arizonans have chosen as the one they want to read. Many of the items in the exhibit are on loan from Wesleyan University.
