More than 300 pieces of Native American Art; 90 plus Native Artists; one location: Hilton Santa Fe Golf Resort & Spa at Buffalo Thunder in Santa Fe. Centered in the massive gallery-like Native inspired lobby, the $2 million collection is reflective of the artistry and inspiration found with the Po’suwae’ghe Owingeh traditions as well as the surrounding pueblos. Filled with displays of pottery, paintings, sculpture, mosaics, and weavings, every Pueblo and tribe within New Mexico is represented in the ever-changing exhibits. The width and birth of this collection is a tribute to George Rivera, tribal governor of the Pueblo of Pojoaque. A renowned artist himself, Rivera received degrees from the Institute of American Indian Arts and the California Institute of Arts and Crafts. Thus, his first-hand experience as an educated craftsman enabled him to know which works and artists to include in the galleries. A key element has been to feature pieces that best tell the full story of pueblo art’s foundation and future. In addition, the exhibit is Native owned and the Pojoaque Pueblo manages the collection, having purchased the pieces directly from the artists.Get the Story:
