“Pueblo Matriarch” Public Art Installation Opening

Join the Albuquerque Community Foundation, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, and artist Greyshoes (Upton Ethelbah Jr.) as we celebrate the public art installation of the Pueblo Matriarch, a sculpture commissioned in honor of Albuquerque Community Foundation’s fortieth anniversary in 2021, in partnership with IPCC and donated to the City of Albuquerque’s Public Art collection. A fabricated steel sculpture standing twenty feet tall, Pueblo Matriarch is a stylized Pueblo corn dancer, a traditional dance in Pueblo communities, a prayer to the Creator for a good harvest, plenty of rain for the crops, and prosperity for all. The sculpture will be located at the traffic circle at 12th Street and Menaul, just north of IPCC.
