The Hopi carvers will show and sell their
carvings in both traditional and contemporary styles. As a new
or experienced collector, attend the Marketplace to meet the best established and emerging carvers.
"White Ogre" [left] by Manfred Susunkewa (Hopi) has been
chosen to be the featured doll for 2013. “White
Ogre” will be raffled off the day of the event. The doll has a retail value
of $1,500.
Tickets are $2 each, or six for $10. The doll will be raffled at 3 p.m. on the day of the event, and the winner will also receive an exclusive event poster signed by all of the attending artists.
Winner need not be present to win. Drawing tickets may be purchased at the Marketplace, at the Heard Museum Shop or by calling 602.252.8344, ext. 1.
Susunkewa is credited with starting
the most popular trend in carving, the “Old Style” katsina foll, where artists
use methods and materials that were used before commercialism began in the late
1800s and early 1900s.
Several authors have been invited and will be publicized as they are confirmed. In addition, enjoy musical performances at 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
