In the Pueblo nations of Arizona and New Mexico, pottery is an ever-changing art form. Visit Grounded Innovation: Pueblo Arts of Clay to learn how contemporary Pueblo artists innovate to strengthen bonds with their ancestors and homelands, rather than breaking them.

The exhibition recognizes how the artists’ relationships to family, ecologies and the clay itself shapes their final work. The pottery on view incorporates groundbreaking techniques, materials and designs while maintaining ties to land, culture and history. These dazzling pieces were created for a global art market centered in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The exhibition is on view February 8 – May 14 in Old College Gallery. Old College Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission is free. Please observe the University’s current COVID-19 health and safety protocols when visiting.
