Now open to the public at the Museum of International Folk Art: "I Am Clay: Acoma Life in Figures."

This community-curated exhibition explores the rich tradition of figurative pottery from Acoma Pueblo, featuring 80-100 works with a focus on the Acoma women artists who have shaped and sustained this important art form across generations. The exhibition also examines the history of figuration in clay and the influence of tourism and the Pueblo pottery market in the early 20th century.

Presented as part of Craft in America’s Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026 initiative, the exhibition highlights Indigenous art and storytelling as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The exhibition is now open in the Gallery of Conscience through Nov. 30, 2026. Museum members receive free admission year-round and access to exhibitions like this across New Mexico’s state museums and historic sites. Become a member today: https://heyor.ca/o5XfBX
