The Convocation: Pueblo EmbroideryThe second Native American Artist Convocation took place at the School for Advanced Research (SAR) from February 15 to 17, 1996. The event had two aims: to bring together a group of outstanding artists in an under-appreciated medium to discuss their work and formulate marketing strategies; and to ensure the survival of this art.
Eleven Pueblo embroidery artists participated in the convocation. They were selected with the advice of IARC artist-in-residence Isabel Gonzales of San Ildefonso Pueblo. The IARC commissioned each artist to embroider a textile of any form and style.
The mission of the convocation was to help stimulate more interest in Pueblo embroidery inside and outside the pueblos, especially among Pueblo children, so they can continue to pass it along to the next generation.
-Isabel GonzalesThe artists brought their pieces to the convocation and spent two days discussing their work and examining the older textiles in the collections. For more information about the Pueblo Embroidery convocation, click here.
