June 18, 2026 – Albuquerque, New Mexico – Young Pueblo artists will showcase traditional art techniques that have been passed down to them from their communities at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s (IPCC) second annual Youth Arts Market. The market will take place in the IPCC courtyard on Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guests can support youth who are gaining practical experience as creative entrepreneurs.

There are currently 39 young artists from New Mexico’s Pueblo communities signed up to showcase their artwork at the market after being selected through an application process open to Pueblo youth 18 and under.
