Thinking of the future: 'Celebrating Our Pollinators' at IPCC features work of Native students
For 43 years, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center has put a spotlight on Native American students and their art.
This year is no different.
The IPCC has the Native American student art show, “Celebrating Our Pollinators,” on display through February.
IPCC’s show is a tradition nearly as old as the center.
The IPCC founded the show in 1979, because the center’s leadership recognized that the preservation and evolution of Native culture lies with young people.
Children are, and will be, the keepers of Native American culture and have unique and honest perspectives to share.
Through art, they are able to share those perspectives and explore their creativity.
This year’s theme, “Celebrating Our Pollinators,” gives young artists the opportunity to take a closer look at the environment — illustrating how flowers, plants and gardens thrive and provide for us.
Pueblo people are thankful for pollinators, and these creatures are often seen in pueblo artwork such as pottery, paintings, clothing and books.
“This art show shines a spotlight on young Native artists,” said Scott Simmonds, museum director. “We’ve been amazed by the talent and creativity in the many submissions that we received this year and encourage everyone to come and see this one-of-a-kind exhibit.”
