Explore: Native American Art of New Mexico

June 24–July 1, 2004

We are pleased to offer you a rare opportunity to visit and work with Native American artists in their pueblo environments in and around Santa Fe and Albuquerque. You will be able to observe potters, silversmiths, painters and sculptors at work and participate in hands-on workshops with individual native artists. Tuition for this program is $2,000, not including airfare.

During this weeklong experiential learning program you will have opportunities to create photographic essays of the beautiful landscapes of the region and to make pinch pots with the world-famous Lewis sisters. You also will see examples of native adobe homes and other southwestern structures and architectural/construction techniques. You will spend time at a variety of cultural institutions such as The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Southwest Association of American Indian Arts, the Pueblo Cultural Center, Hurd Museum of the American Indian and the Georgia O’Keefe Museum. You also will visit the Pueblos of Santa Ana, Cochiti and Acoma. If you are also taking Studio Art during the summer, you will be given preference for space on this trip. Ox tail soup, silver stamping and a ghost walk through Santa Fe are all ways you will learn more about art, Native American culture and yourself.
