Description
Featured in this exhibition are distinctive ceramics from several pueblos, collected in the late 19th through the mid 20th century, including works by Maria Martinez, one of the most famous Native American potters of the 20th century.
More than one hundred years ago, pottery making by Pueblo Indians in the American Southwest was transformed from the manufacture of utilitarian objects for everyday use to craft production for the tourist trade.
The exhibition, which will run through Friday, March 19, is free and open to the public. Parking available in the Kirkhof lot.
