EARLY CLOSURE AT 3PM ON MARCH 20TH DUE TO PRIVATE EVENTIn honor of the 50th anniversary of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), this exhibition highlights the Center’s history through Pueblo imagery and perspectives of the past, present, and future. A combination of fifty objects from the IPCC’s Collections and Archives, with an emphasis on Pueblo pottery, illustrates the significance of the Center as a gathering place where Pueblo arts and culture are celebrated by visitors from around the world and, at once, nurtured by Pueblo communities across the generations. Gallery videos, updated throughout the year, will feature interviews with Pueblo artists, scholars, and culture bearers that present insider views of the IPCC. Join us to celebrate the exhibition on March 21 from 5-8pm during our free, public reception. Visit indianpueblo.org for 50th anniversary program schedule updates including an exhibit closing event on February 15, 2027.
EARLY CLOSURE AT 3PM ON MARCH 20TH DUE TO PRIVATE EVENT.Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a unique traveling exhibition featuring over 100 historic and contemporary works in clay, offers a visionary understanding of Pueblo pots as vessels that carry community-based knowledge and personal experience. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), established by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico in 1976, welcomes the pottery vessels back to the Southwest as the “returning home” host venue of the exhibition’s four-year national tour. Curated by the Pueblo Pottery Collective, Grounded in Clay opens at the IPCC as the leading program of the Center’s 50th anniversary celebration year. The exhibition and its associated events are generously supported by the First Nations Development Institute and Noon Whistle Fund.

Based in the Southwest region, Arrowsoul Art Collective creates graffiti walls and mural paintings inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation. Located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery, their newest mural will be on display through June 28, 2026.

Charlotte Jackson Fine art presents A Whiter Shade of Pale | A Group Exhibition opening Saturday, April 4 through May 5, 2026, with an opening reception Saturday, April 4, 2026, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Charlotte Jackson Fine Art presents this year’s single-color exhibition, A Whiter Shade of Pale | A Group Exhibition, focusing exclusively on the color white. The exhibition aims to highlight the unique qualities, nuances, and variations found within this often-underestimated shade.
White has been selected as Pantone’s color of the year, motivating us to take a closer look at its significance and its many distinct shades. By delving into the subtle differences and interpretations of white, the exhibition encourages viewers to appreciate the depth and diversity within this seemingly simple color.
The exhibition includes artists Charles Arnoldi, Edith Baumann, Max Cole, Lies Kraal, William Metcalf, Liane Nouri, Helen Pashgian, Michael Rouillard, Phil Sims, Jeremy Thomas, Clark Walding, and Brian Wills.

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’s creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.
The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.
Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.
