Join us for a special afternoon with Gerald Lomaventema, noted Hopi jeweler and mentor from Shungapovi, Second Mesa, Arizona.

He will discuss the history and evolution of Hopi silversmithing as well as his involvement in mentoring younger Hopi in the craft today.

You will be in for a rare glimpse of his creativity as, assisted by two of his talented mentees, Gerald will demonstrate his latest revival of the old methods, creating works of art before your eyes.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see these fine artists at work and the future of the Hopi traditions in action.

The first 30 people to sign up will receive a special handmade sterling silver collectible.

In partnership with the Denver Art Museum and Friends of Native Arts. Purchase tickets.
