Hopi Artists to Demonstrate Work at Homol'ovi Ruins State Park
Homol'ovi Ruins State Park near Winslow will be hosting Hopi artists each Saturday through December, 2008.
Each Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., a different Hopi artist will be demonstrating artwork at the park visitor center. We do recommend that you call the park at (928) 289-4106 to confirm the presentation as artists sometimes cancel due to emergencies. Demonstrations are funded through a grant with the Hopi Tribe and a grant from the Homol'ovi Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society.

Homol'ovi Ruins, one of a series of many ancient Hopi pueblos found in the Southwest, offers the public the opportunity to begin their journey into Hopi life and culture. Like the modern visitor making their way to Hopi, the Homol'ovi ancestral villages were a stop for the ancestral Hopi people along their migration route, eventually moving on and settling at one of the current Hopi villages. We can share their experience by viewing the village ruins that remain as cultural remnants of Hopi prehistory.
Hopi Tribal leaders and Arizona State Parks staff have been collaborating for five years to create a new model for park management and tourism to traditional Hopi lands which will preserve and protect the sacred culture, while offering special cultural tour opportunities for the public.
