SUMMARY:Members' Preview: Artist Hopid Unveiled
DESCRIPTION:Members see it first! Join us on the evening of Friday\, May 15th for a first-look at MNA’s newest exhibit\, Artist Hopid Unveiled. This event will take place from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the Jaime Major Golightly Courtyard. We will provide light refreshments and a cash bar. \nRSVPs are appreciated but not required. RSVP to membership@musnaz.org or call 928-774-5211 285. \nAbout this exhibit: Explore the groundbreaking work of Artist Hopid\, a collective formed in the 1970s by five Hopi artists: Michael Kabotie\, Delbridge Honanie\, Terrance Talaswaima\, Neil David Sr.\, and Milland Lomakema. Blending traditional Hopi values and imagery—drawn from farming\, Katsina figures\, ancestral forms\, and everyday life—with contemporary visual styles\, Artist Hopid spoke intentionally to wider\, non-Hopi audiences. Their art is visually dynamic\, often humorous\, and deeply rooted in Hopi cultural knowledge. Drawn from the Museum of Northern Arizona’s extensive collection\, including important new acquisitions\, Artist Hopid Unveiled rotates three times between May 2026 and April 2027\, allowing a greater range of works to be shown across three thematic sections: Tending the Source\, Ancestral Echoes\, and Enduring Images.
