    PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN CRAFT OF BASKETRY

     

    Here we present baskets from the Native Americans peoples. In basketry they are unsurpassed. No other culture has ever taken basket weaving to such heights, Native American baskets retain the highest standards in history. Enter and enjoy the best there has ever been, the baskets of Native America.

     

    Here is a design for an introductory page for an exhibition of baskets at MOA.It is flexible. I present only a general scheme. The basket design used is original. I designed it and own the copyright automatically for 2 years.

     

     

     

    The problem with this exhibit has been in the back of my mind from the beginning and it won't go away. In order to do this right and in a legal and professional manner, each basket shown should have a written e mail permission from the owner of the object. In most cases the photograph will be the property of the owner as it is what is legally called a," work done for hire ." That is, if the owner paid a photographer for the picture, the publication rights to the picture belong to the owner who has commissioned its creation.

    That means that for each of the ten featured baskets, we shall have to have permission for one time publication of its image. We will have to agree to credit the owner and, if the photographer has retained rights to publication, the photographer.

    A much simpler way would be to make an offer to a single gallery where these objects are for sale. We would be in effect, advertising their goods in exchange for the one time right to publication and a link to their point of sale.

    Chances are really slim that any AW member is going to buy a $45,000.00 basket, but hey, it could happen and the ad is free.

    Perhaps we might make an effort to include some baskets in the lowest price range in order to increase the chances for a sale from the gallery.

    I would suggest The Qualla Arts And Crafts Mutual as a good chice.Would someone write a nice letter to them and tell them about Ancient Worlds and The Americas and MOTA and see what they think of the idea? It should be mentioned that The Americas On AW have 2125 registered members.
