Indian Ceremonial votes on lithographs and bronzes for 1981 exhibit
After a lengthy debate the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial Association voted to allow lithographs and bronze castings as entries in the 1981 Exhibit Hall as a test. The tie on restricting entries was broken by President Marian Alison. The rule requires unsold or undistributed works and artist provenance showing copy counts. Executive Director Jim Hurlbut warned of cloned casts seen elsewhere. Aitson favored broader participation and lithography growth while Hurlbut noted industry trends. A plan to solicit bids for performers quarters at the park was also discussed with an eye to securing funds in the 1961 Legislature, though past vetoes limited available money.
