Notes
Everybody's Bolos Symposium which was presented in conjunction with the exhibition, "Everybody's Bolos: Inclusivity through Craft." The Symposium brings together artists and bolo enthusiasts to discuss the history and cultural relevance of bolo ties, their evolution in meaning, their representation in popular culture, expanding on the bolo tie as a catalyst for change, and highlighting their own and other artists' work in the exhibition and beyond. The exhibition was co-organized and co-curated by Ana M. Lopez, professor of Studio Art: Metalsmithing and Jewelry, at the University of North Texas; Brian Fleetwood, assistant professor of studio art at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, N.M., and citizen of the Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma; and Hannah Toussaint, metalsmith and craft artist, UNT alum and current M.F.A. candidate at the University of Georgia, Athens, Ga.
