Adult Programs
The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture offers opportunities for life-long learning in Southwestern archaeology and Native American Art. Through field trips, lecture series, short courses and hands-on workshops, the museum's educators, curators, and research associates interpret Native American art, culture, and the incomparable collections of the Laboratory of Anthropology.
Breakfast with the Curators, Breakfast with the Artists
The Breakfast with the Curators and Breakfast with the Artists program is a series of morning lectures offered during the month of August. Breakfast with the curators provides an oppurtunity to learn in-depth about and often go behind the scenes to see our new and upcoming exhibits with museum curators. Breakfast with the Artists: a new twist on this popular program provides an opportunity to meet and learn about some of the wonderful and innovative Native American Artists active in New Mexico today. Please check this same spot in the early summer, when the new August program is posted.

ElderWISE
Begun in the summer of 2004, the ElderWISE outreach program includes recurring monthly presentations at assisted living and retirement facilities in Santa Fe.
