Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian visual artists and craftspeople face unique challenges with the shift to online sales and continued limits on attendance at local arts and crafts fairs. Register now for this free webinar to learn how to develop and expand your e-commerce presence.
The program was the third in a series of monthly webinars held the second Thursday of each month through December 2022. It featured speakers with extensive experience in the business of selling Native American arts and crafts, from both the private and public sectors.
During this program, speakers explored how to build an identity or brand, and engaged participants in a practical exercise. A moderated panel of artists then shared their stories and the lessons they learned in building their brands and identities.
A recording of the event is now available.
The series has been 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 Indian Dispute Resolution Services.
All programs will be recorded and made available for viewing online after the program date. There is no charge to attend, and you may register for any of the webinars as they are announced. For a complete list of upcoming dates, visit the registration page.
