In 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.

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.

On the 100th anniversary of Route 66 in 2026, experience “The Old Road”—a mural that at once remembers the first major highway traversing the United States and gives emphasis to its impact on Pueblo communities and New Mexico. Through the eyes of artists Warren Montoya (Pueblos of Santa Ana/Santa Clara), Margarita Paz-Pedro (Pueblo of Laguna/Mexican American), Akilah Martinez (Diné), and Keith Scott (Pueblo of Laguna), this multi-dimensional installation travels through time showing Pueblo people and places along the “Mother Road,” otherwise known as Route 66. Explore the eccentric narrative created by these artists as they look at multiple roads simultaneously, from ancestral times to recent history, to glimpses of the present and future. Already a historic exchange route within Indigenous communities, Route 66 still echoes in the personality and culture of New Mexico byways. Journey through this mural located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery at the end of the IPCC’s permanent exhibition.

Still Friends After All These Years
September 11 – October 10, 2026

Opening Reception for the Artists
Friday, September 11 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: A Conversation with Charles Arnoldi, Ron Cooper, Laddie John Dill and Rani Singh
Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Somewhere between the halls of Chouinard Art Institute and the industrial warehouses and artist lofts of Los Angeles in the 1960's, three young artists met. Each skilled, hungry, and with a restless energy that helped to propel them headlong onto the world stage as rare artistic talents. Later, in 1987, when Charlotte Jackson curated an exhibition of work by these three artists: Charles Arnoldi, Ron Cooper, and Laddie John Dill - they had already known each other twenty years. Still Friends After All These Years once again brings together works, old and new, from all three luminaries, whose art, long associated with the California Light & Space movement, engages and challenges the perceptual experience of viewers.

The SaFeRR Hotline is used for suspected ICE sightings in Santa Fe County and City. Dispatchers are available to respond to calls. They are bilingual. Confirmers will respond to sightings and offer on the ground documentation and support to detainees, their families and bystanders. Please help keep the City safe.

The new documentary film, American Doctor, will make its Santa Fe debut on Friday September 11, 2026, 6:30 pm, at Sky Cinemas Midtown. It had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

The film follows three American doctors - a Palestinian American emergency doctor, a Jewish orthopedic surgeon, and a Zoroastrian trauma surgeon - as they volunteer in Gaza’s hospitals. On their return to the US, the doctors feel compelled to advocate in the halls of Congress, to testify about their experiences in Gaza. Director Poh Si Teng is passionate about confronting Americans about the US military support of Israel. She has chosen to make a medical drama, feeling that the professional standing of these doctors gives them a credibility which is hard for politicians and media to dismiss.

The film’s opening on Friday September 11 will be followed by a short program, including an audience discussion, and an update on the fate of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyah, the Palestinian doctor detained by Israel for over 600 days. Dr Abu Safiyah is a pediatrician who is the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza; he is being held without formal charges or trial, and international organizations including Amnesty International have documented his torture and medical neglect by Israeli authorities. The post-film program will be hosted by three local organizations: Santa Fe Jews for Justice Education Project; Santa Feans for Justice in Palestine; and Palestine Solidarity Santa Fe.
