Founded in 1976 by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) is responsible for preserving and perpetuating Pueblo culture, and advancing understanding – by presenting with dignity and respect – the accomplishments and evolving history of the Pueblo people of New Mexico. It is located at the heart of nearly 80 acres of land owned by the 19 Pueblos and governed by the 19 Pueblos District. The non-profit Cultural Center is comprised of museum and gallery space, a collection of murals and other Native arts and artifacts, a library, archives, an education department, and cultural programming and events – each celebrating the Pueblo culture of New Mexico.
IPCC is located within a cultural and business district (known as the IPCC Campus) in the heart of Albuquerque. The IPCC Campus is also home to a variety of commercial enterprises (also owned and operated by the 19 Pueblos), which include Pueblo Harvest restaurant, Indian Pueblo Store, event and meeting space, Starbucks at Avanyu Plaza, Four Winds convenience store, two hotels, and more.
The mission of the IPCC Campus is to serve as gathering place where Pueblo culture is celebrated through creative and cultural experiences, while providing economic opportunities to Pueblo and local communities.
