Member Monday will feature an exclusive artist talk from a featured contributor to the Grounded in Clay exhibition, offering museum members a unique behind‑the‑scenes perspective available only on this special day.

STUDENT DAYS

Students will receive free admission on these days as we emphasize the importance of passing down Pueblo culture and traditions to each new generation. Activities will include storytelling in the library and kids' activities in the courtyard.

SENIOR DAY

Senior Day focuses on honoring our community’s elders and the impact that they have on those around them and their wider communities. Senior Day will include bingo, senior‑focused activities, and special cultural dance performances by Pueblo school groups beginning at 10:30 AM.

SPRING ARTS MARKET

The highly anticipated annual Spring Arts Market brings over 60 Native vendors to the IPCC courtyard, along with cultural dance performances all day starting at 10am. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for visitors to shop for authentic Native art directly from artists and learn about the techniques and stories behind their work.

ROUND DANCE SUNDAY

American Indian Week concludes with a Round Dance in the IPCC courtyard. The Round Dance brings communities together to share songs and stories, and to have fun! Join our celebration with songs full of love, loss, and humor and mark the end of American Indian Week with a day of warmth and community.

DANCE GROUPS 

In addition to each day’s unique activities, dance groups from local Pueblo communities will be performing in the courtyard all week. Dances will take place every day at 11am, 12pm, 2pm, and 3pm - including weekends. These events offer visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty and tradition of traditional Pueblo dances.
