In 1932, Mary-Russel Ferrell Colton founded the Hopi Craftsman Exhibition. This project was designed to stimulate the creation of American Indian objects thus broadening the market for the Hopi people to sell their crafts. The exhibition featured Hopi artists who contributed their “best piece” to the show. In the end, the exhibition brought attention to individual Hopi artists establishing better relationships between artist, craftsman, and customer.
