IPCC receives grant to support Pueblo Community Pottery Project

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) received a $75,000 grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art to support the Pueblo Community Pottery Project, a significant reinterpretation and enhancement of IPCC’s permanent exhibition “We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story.”

The Pueblo Community Pottery Project launched as a reimagined section within the IPCC’s permanent galleries, reflecting both traditional and contemporary Pueblo perspectives. The funding will support the rotation of select Pueblo pottery works, the creation of new interpretive materials, and the integration of interactive digital experiences that center Pueblo voices and lived knowledge.

“This project brings Pueblo community members into direct dialogue with the objects,
allowing their stories and cultural knowledge to shape how these works are understood,” said IPCC Head Curator Dr. Michelle Lanteri. “We are deeply grateful to the Terra Foundation for supporting a community-driven, inclusive reinstallation that affirms the living legacy of Pueblo artistry.”

The Chamber congratulates board member and IPCC CEO Monique Fragua and her team in keeping education moving forward.
