50th Anniversary Donor Drive
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center enters its 50th Anniversary year in 2026, continuing its mission to serve as a cultural home where Pueblo people tell their own stories. Through exhibitions, educational programs, community events, and support for Native artists and entrepreneurs, IPCC elevates Pueblo voices in meaningful and lasting ways.
Your support helps preserve and share Pueblo history and identity, expand opportunities for artists and cultural knowledge holders, grow educational programming for youth and families, foster economic pathways for Native‑owned businesses, and enhance visitor experiences.
This campaign invites donors to invest in the continued vitality of the Pueblo story, ensuring Pueblo voices—past, present, and future—are celebrated with authenticity and pride.
Your Support Helps Preserve and Share Pueblo Culture
Your generosity supports educational programs, cultural experiences, exhibitions, and initiatives that connect visitors with Pueblo history, traditions, and living culture.
Native Dances
As the only year-round venue for Native dances in North America, the IPCC showcases colorful regalia, drumming, and songs from New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos.
Your support of these programs underscores the cultural relevance of Native dance and its vital importance to imparting the story of the Pueblos and other tribes.
Daily Artists
The Daily Artist Program provides visitors with another avenue to experience Native American culture. Visit with and purchase directly from artists as they make pottery, jewelry, paintings, and other types of traditional and contemporary arts and crafts.
This program supports the mission of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center by showcasing handcrafted Native American art, creating an outlet for visitors to buy directly from artists, and encouraging dialogue with our guests while educating about Pueblo arts and culture.
Family Story Time
The IPCC Family Story Time started in August of 2023. Each month children learn from a rich selection of books and poetry from various Native American cultures, complete with a special Indigenous guest reader for each session.
Our volunteers also lead an activity that coincides with the theme of the book.
"We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story"
We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story shares the resilience and legacy of the Pueblo people in their own words.
We invite you to support in our plans to increase visitor engagement for all ages by making exhibit themes more immersive, interactive, and engaging by facilitating new, multi-sensory modes of community connection and cultural exchange that will deepen understanding of past and present generations of Pueblo culture through enhanced presentations of resiliency told by Pueblo voices.
Exhibits
Visitors can explore the Artists Circle Gallery, Mural Collection, Pueblo Art Collection, Student Art Show, and Art Through Struggle Gallery. These galleries feature contemporary Pueblo artists who draw on the past to influence our culture’s evolution and guide us into the future. This space features rotating shows where visitors can experience the living arts of the Pueblos from a contemporary perspective and art collectors can directly support Pueblo artisans and the continuation of their art through exhibitions like these.
IPCC Collections
Over 4,500 pieces of pottery, jewelry, textiles, baskets, photographs, paintings, and artifacts highlight Pueblo history and creativity. Our collection is also home to more than 20 murals by great Pueblo artists. These vibrant works of art vividly convey the role of the seasons, dance, harvest, agriculture, and animals in Pueblo life. Our collection represents the Pueblo people’s dynamic, ever-evolving history, and we work to preserve this heritage and share it with future generations. Our collection of invaluable objects is an essential part of our past, present, and future. Your support provides our Collection Team the resources to appropriately and responsibly care for our Pueblo art collection and pertinent objects and their records for use in perpetuity.
Library and Archives
The only special collection devoted to preserving the history and culture of the 19 Pueblos. Your support allows our library to provide information, resources, Pueblo Book Club, and research service to patrons intending to build Pueblo identity while securing a place for Pueblo people in the national historical narrative. The IPCC Library & Archives is a non-circulating, targeted collection for those who wish to know more about Pueblo people’s lives, histories, traditions, and culture.
Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum
Help strengthen the identity of Native American students by supporting the IWC. This Pueblo-based curriculum provides comprehensive K-12 unit plans on the complex political, social, cultural, and economic history of the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico. The curriculum serves as a counter-narrative to the presentation of the history of New Mexico presented in our schools today. The curriculum is rich with instructional strategies, resources, and Pueblo-centered cultural knowledge that is valuable to students from diverse backgrounds.
The main goal of the curriculum is for Indigenous students and their teachers to become intellectually aware of the critical roles of Pueblo people in exercising agency as they met and continue to meet the imposition and challenges of federal and state policies on our quality of life as sovereign entities. The authors of this curriculum believe that a critical socio-historical education is an effective avenue to strengthen our home communities and to develop an increased awareness and deeper examination of present-day manifestations of historic oppression.
