American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian visual artists and craftspeople have faced unique challenges with the shift to online sales and limits on attendance at local arts and crafts fairs.
This program was part of a series of monthly webinars held the second Thursday of each month through December 2022. The series was organized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Indian Arts and Crafts Board and the nonprofit Indian Dispute Resolution Services, founder of The Acorn Project for Native American small businesses.
A recording of the event is now available. For a complete list of events, visit the series page.
