Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • This four-page brochure was created by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, a division of the United States Department of Interior, to accompany a 1975 exhibition of "Basketry by Emma Taylor." The exhibitions were held at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, an artisan cooperative in Cherokee, North Carolina. Emma Squirrel Taylor (1920-2002) was an accomplished basket maker who specialized in white oak baskets. The exhibition featured 16 white oak, 3 rivercane, and 3 honeysuckle baskets. A 1975 photograph of Taylor was included in the brochure. From 1969 through 1985, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, Inc. sponsored a series of exhibitions to promote Cherokee crafts. Taylor's exhibition also received support from the North Carolina Arts Council. The brochures for these exhibits were reformatted and republished as "Contemporary Artists and Craftsmen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians" in 1987.
