Calendar

The Amerind Foundation organizes many events, workshops and cultural exploration tours throughout the year. Most of the events are planned well in advance, and you will see them listed here, but occasionally a presentation or demonstration will happen with little advance notice. We will try to put information about these more spontaneous events on our home page, so be sure to check there as well as on this page.

Some of our Amerind events are open to the general public, but spaces in our workshops and on our tours are reserved for our members. If you are not a member, please join us so you can participate in these exceptional programs.

Amerind workshops are mostly taught by well known, respected Native artists, and they are usually limited to 10-15 participants. The tours are led by Amerind staff and area Native and non-Native experts, and most fill up quickly. Depending on the nature and location of the tour, the number of participants has ranged from 10 to 40. During the past years we have returned almost annually to Casas Grandes and Mata Ortiz, in Chihuahua, Northern Mexico, an area the Amerind has been involved with for over 50 years.  Amerind’s director, John Ware, has organized annual cultural exploration tours to investigate the Pueblo world. Amerind’s first tour to Copper Canyon took place in fall 2008, and on the schedule in 2009, for the first time, was a tour to some of the Native artists and trading posts in the Four Corners region.

Because of limited spaces on our tours and workshops, notices are sent to members before they get placed on this website. Exhibit openings, and other events will be posted here simultaneously with the notices being sent to members. We will soon be posting additional information about our 2009-2010 schedule of botany walks, brown bags, and other Amerind programs. Check back soon!
