Indian Arts Research Center Tour at SAR

September 18 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free - $15.00
Visit one of the premier collections of Southwestern Native art in the world

“Consider this an unmissable experience when visiting Santa Fe. A more powerful combination of art and spirituality may not exist anywhere in the world.” –forbes.com

The Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) at the School for Advanced Research (SAR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, houses “the premier collection of Pueblo pottery anywhere in the world” (forbes.com)—historic and contemporary Native American art, including pottery, jewelry, textiles and clothing, paintings, basketry, and drums. Containing more than 12,000, items, the IARC is home to works by Lucy Lewis (Acoma Pueblo), Pablita Velarde (Santa Clara Pueblo), Maria and Julian Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo), Mateo Romero (Cochiti Pueblo), Lonnie Vigil (Namb´e Pueblo), and many other renowned artists.

Docent-led tours of the open storage vaults give visitors a rare view into one of the world’s finest Native American art collections.

The Indian Arts Research Center is a division of the School for Advanced Research (SAR). The goal of the IARC is to bridge the divide between creativity and scholarship by supporting initiatives and projects in Native American studies, art history, and creative expression that illuminate the intersections of the social sciences, humanities, and arts. This is accomplished by providing fellowship opportunities for artists to engage in uninterrupted creativity; fostering dialogue among artists, researchers, scholars, and community members through seminars and symposia; nurturing future arts and museums professionals through experiential training; and promoting study and exploration of the IARC collection of Native American arts.

Tours typically run 75 minutes on average.

Tours are $15.00/per person.
