"Common Threads"
A Hopi Quilt Show
Hopi Quilt 1

 
The Smoki Museum of American Indian Art and Culture is proud to present “Common Threads”, an exhibition of Hopi quilts that reaches far beyond the Mesas.  This exhibit will bring together over fifteen quilts, displaying the wonderful playfulness and diversity found within the Hopi quilting community.  Somewhat unknown outside of the villages, quilting has a rich history and allows a less restricted view into the Hopi family life.  These quilts range from very specific traditional symbolism to imagery as recognizable as animals and pop culture icons

From the Earth

June 21st through October 26th, 2008

Opening Reception: Saturday, June 21, 1-4 PM

From the Earth Artwork

The Smoki Museum presents a thematic exhibition of a variety of art based on the theme, From the Earth.  For generations, American Indian tribes have sought to live in harmony with the beautiful and harsh environment of the Southwest and discovered ways to thrive with what is able to grow here.  Each piece of art was inspired by the natural world, growing from the earth, sustaining life and reflects the artists' visions of that legacy.  

Artists include:

Jesse Hummingbird        Cameron Chino
Shan Goshorn                Baje Whitehorne
Donny Preston               Allison Francisco

This exhibit will coincide with the first annual planting of the Museum's Native Gardens.

A call for Artists to submit appropriate art provides guidelines for submissions and an application form.  That statement is included here in an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.  Reading this file requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader utility. Just click on the following line
