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.

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.

Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. 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.

Free for museum members, or with admission.

JOHN BEECH | Across the Surface
May 29 – June 27, 2026
Opening Reception with the Artist
Friday, May 29, 2026, from 5-7 p.m.
Charlotte Jackson Fine Art
“A Conversation with John Beech and David Chickey”
Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 2-4 p.m. at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art

They are not just black and white photos. The subject matter is urban: city streets, industrial sites, alleyways, warehouse facades. Within them is the accumulated flotsam and jetsam of human life in a city: dumpsters, random pieces of abandoned furniture, bits construction equipment. But each photo is also ground for the artist's intervention: blobs and washes of paint, ink marks, strips of tape.

We humans take things for granted: a street, a chair, the passage of time. How long since you really saw that alley, that tree? The Photo-Paintings and Monotypes of John Beech do just this. They challenge our preconceptions, providing the jolt, the pause, that invites us to pay closer attention. These works confound our sense of what a photo is, what a painting is, and how we see art and the world. Across the Surface provides a survey of Beech's Photo-Paintings and Monotypes from across the decades and dovetails with the announcement of a new book about this particular body of work forthcoming from Radius Books in spring 2027.

Beech's art brings together expected and unexpected in ways that allow the viewer to see anew and to experience a whole beyond the sum of these disparate parts.

CURRENTS Art & Technology Festival returns to Santa Fe June 12–21, 2026 for its 17th edition at El Museo Cultural in the Railyard Arts District. This ten-day festival features 53 works by 71 international artists across interactive installation, VR/AR/XR, robotics, Artist/AI collaborations, kinetic sculpture, multimedia performance, and experimental video. Extending beyond the main exhibition, CURRENTS activates venues across Santa Fe through performances, workshops, screenings, and offsite exhibitions. This year’s symposium, “Emergence of Other: the Numinous, Technology, and Our Future Selves,” brings together artists and scholars to explore art, technology, consciousness, and the evolving idea of what it means to be human.

Join us this June and experience one of the Southwest’s leading festivals for contemporary art and emerging technology.

The entire museum, including the Agnes Martin Gallery, will be closed for the installation of Unearthing Futures/Desanterrando Futuros. We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause. Please join us for the Opening Celebration on June 27, 2026.
