E ighth Generation—the
first Native owned company to
offer wool blankets—is look-
ing for the next indigenous art-
ist to design a wool blanket.
In past years, Eighth Gen-
eration was receiving dozens
of design proposals by Native
artists from across Indian
Country.
So in 2017 the company
initiated its first wool blanket
design competition. The 2019
competition is now underway,
and Eighth Generation is ac-
cepting proposals.
The contest symbolizes re-
spect that Eighth Generation,
based in Seattle, has for the
Native artists; and ensures the
company we will help one new
aspiring artist become a new
wool blanket designer. The
winning designer will add his
or her work to a growing col-
lection of over fifty blankets,
each designed by a Native art-
ist.
