Dear Members,
Join us in celebrating the best fundraising year ever for the Museum of New Mexico Foundation in fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022).
We generated $11.8 million in earned and contributed revenues for FY22, the highest one-year total in the Foundation’s history. We are grateful to you, our members, as well as our trustees, donors and friends, for being so generous in supporting the Foundation and Museum of New Mexico system.
In this annual report issue of Member News, we are honored to recognize by name all those who contributed to this tremendous success, including Ambassador, Circles and Circles Explorer members, Corporate Partners and Business Council members. Donors to our Annual Fund (at $1,000+) and Exhibition Development and Education Funds are also acknowledged, as well as Founders Society and Legacy Society members.
Beginning on page 3 is a full report on the Foundation’s membership, devel opment, retail and licensing activities during FY22. All five of our member ship programs and Annual Fund exceeded our goals with $1.8 million in total revenues. In addition to cash contributions, the Santa Fe business community also provided in-kind services valued at more than $223,000.
Our many generous donors, along with endowment payouts, provided $3.5 million in direct support for exhibitions development and educational programming for our 13 cultural partners, including the four state museums in Santa Fe, eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies. This is another history-making total for the Foundation.
Endowment and estate gifts were especially generous in FY22. New endow ments for the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Museum of International Folk Art and New Mexico Museum of Art were established, while over $2 million was realized in planned gifts of cash, real estate and artwork.
In another extraordinary outcome, our Museum Shops and online store broke an all-time sales record with nearly $3.6 million in gross revenue and $575,035 in net income in FY22. Our licensing program also had a stellar year with nearly $136,000 in gross revenue and the launch of three new collections.
In the end, what matters most is the world-class programming this support makes possible throughout the Museum of New Mexico system. The benefits to our residents and visitors alike are immeasurable. Thank you for all you do for the Foundation and our state museum system. Best wishes to you and your family during the holidays and in the new year ahead.
Sincerely,
Jamie Clements President/CEO

Dear Members,
What a tremendous honor it is to express my gratitude on behalf of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Board of Trustees to all who participated in this record-breaking year of support for the Museum of New Mexico system.
The success of fiscal year 2021-2022 is all the more remarkable given the challenges of the pandemic in the two years preceding. The Foundation staff warrants a standing ovation.
The product of the generous support of our members can be seen throughout New Mexico—from the rise of Santa Fe’s Vladem Contemporary to the opening of new permanent exhibitions at the Bosque Redondo Memorial and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.
Finally, a special appreciation to my fellow trustees for their extraordinary generosity and guidance. As we move through these times of transition, the Foundation can look ahead to new and exciting horizons.
Sincerely,
Frieda Simons
Board Chair, Museum of New Mexico Foundation

Rising to New Heights
Donor Generosity Exceeds Pre-Pandemic Giving
The Museum of New Mexico Foundation experienced an historic fundraising year in fiscal year 2021–2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022), with total earned and contributed revenues rising to new heights at $11.8 million.
Not only did we exceed our goals for development, member ship and retail operations, we exceeded pre–pandemic giving levels. A portion of this success is due to the reopening of the museums and record-breaking sales in our Museum Shops, which for the first time in Foundation history, finished the year $1 million over budget. We secured $3.5 million in private support for our 13 cultural partners, far surpassing our goal by more than $1 million.
“We are grateful for the giving spirit of our members and donors,” says Foundation President/CEO Jamie Clements. “It is a testament to the loyalty and generosity of Foundation supporters that we have outperformed on our financial goals a year earlier than expected.”
A Diversity of Philanthropy
Numerous individuals and groups expressed their philan thropy in a variety of ways during FY22, from joining or renewing their museum memberships to contributing to endowment funds. To that end, some 3,500 transactions
were made in support of the Museum of New Mexico system and Foundation, a figure that includes grants, donations, special events and other categories.
Membership growth reflected a monumental jump in Circles Explorers, which bested its goals by 92% as people were eager to get out of their houses to reconnect physically with New Mexico’s art, culture and history. Business Council memberships outdid expectations by 69%. In all, Founda tion staff processed 6,060 general memberships, 257 Circles and Circles Explorers memberships, and 56 business memberships.
Grants generated nearly $1 million, including such highlights: The National Park Service gave $16,956 to the Office of Archaeological Studies to collaborate on an archaeomag netic study of Tonto National Monument’s Upper Cliff Dwelling. The Institute of Museum and Library Services provided $250,000 for conservation and digitization of select Vladem Contemporary collections. And McCune Charitable
Foundation gave $15,000 to the Museum of International Folk Art to engage cultural advisors in creating a more inclu sive narrative for the permanent exhibition Multiple Visions: A Common Bond. Endowment giving proved equally robust in FY22. The new Della Warrior Endowment Fund at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture will generate support for exhibitions and educational programs. Established in 2022, the fund honors Warrior, the museum’s former executive director who retired in 2021. Her eight-year legacy at the museum includes over seeing more than 30 exhibitions, expanding the museum’s collection of Native art, establishing innovative educational programs and strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities. Two donors each pledged $100,000 to match any and all contributions up to $200,000. As of June 30, 2022, the endowment total stood at $129,916.
Support for the Foundation also grew in FY22. The Founda tion is especially grateful to six thoughtful donors who bolstered our work through their wills and estate plans. Their contributions included cash, real estate and artwork, totaling more than $2 million in promised and realized gifts. Among the gifts are proceeds from the sale of a private house that will benefit the Photo Archives at the New Mexico History Museum.
Purchasing Power
Perhaps the most impressive, yet least surprising, elements of our success in FY22 came from our Museum Shops and licensing program. Retail revenues revealed that, even as people made their way back to museums, they continued to indulge in online shopping, where a stunning range of high-quality, eye-catching artworks, apparel, jewelry and other objects beckon.
The Alexander Girard Legacy Fund was also established in 2022 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Girard Wing at the Museum of International Folk Art. The 106,000-object Girard collection comprises the core of the museum’s hold ings. The fund will provide ongoing support for educational programs and maintenance of the popular Girard-curated exhibition, Multiple Visions: A Common Bond, which opened in 1982. Two generous founding donors established the corpus of the fund, which will eventually be the catalyst for a $5 million endowment campaign. Finally, the R.H. Blommer Endowment Fund was established at the New Mexico Museum of Art. The fund supports acqui sition of artworks by New Mexico artists who worked in the first half of the twentieth century.
In total, the Museum Shops recorded $3.6 million in sales and $575,035 in net revenue. Best-selling objects in the fiscal year included Gregory Lomayesva’s Kachina-styled figures at the Spiegelberg Shop at the New Mexico History Museum; Willard F. Clark prints at the Rosalie D. and Steven J. Harris Shop at the New Mexico Museum of Art; handmade books by Japanese artist Hana Tottori at the Lynn Godfrey Brown Shop at the Museum of International Folk Art; and works in glass by such artists as Robert “Spooner’’ Marcus, Carol Lujan and Ramson Lomotewama at the Colleen Cloney Duncan Shop at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.
In this record-breaking year, the licensing program generated nearly $136,000 in gross revenue. New licensing agreements were also secured while three beautiful museum-inspired collections were brought to market.
“Our members and donors made possible these new levels of growth and support in all areas of our operations,” says Clements. “This support enhances exhibition development and educational programming throughout the Museum of New Mexico system.”

A Blockbuster Year Exhibitions Take Center Stage
Exhibitions took center stage at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022), with the museum continuing to break ground on a curatorial approach that departs from tradi tional non-Indigenous Western models. These were supported by $146,000 in private gifts to the museum via the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s Exhibitions Development Fund and unrestricted gifts.
Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass opened May 16, 2021, and ran through June 12, 2022. The exhibition showcased works by 33 Indig enous artists who re-interpreted in glass traditional Native stories and designs or concerns affecting Indigenous Nations. A companion catalog tells these stories and includes photos of most of the works on display.
When the first iteration of Here, Now and Always opened in 1997, it was considered revolutionary. It was the first museum exhibition of its kind that transferred expertise away from non-Native academics and scholars to a primarily Indigenous curatorial team. The new Here, Now and Always, which opened on July 2, 2022, centers on the Indigenous people it represents, reflecting the museum’s meaningful partnerships with Native communities.
The reimagined permanent exhibition showcases more than 655 neverbefore-seen works from the museum’s collection, employing state-of-the-art technology and illustrating how the past informs the future from the vantage of the next generation.
By the Numbers $59,642 raised for exhibitions $9,615 raised for education 300 student tours $179,707 raised in grants 50 vitual programs $40,479 raised through Native Treasures 4 exhibitions opened $693,150 total division support

“
Here, Now and Always is the museum’s hallmark exhibition,” says Tony Chavarria (Santa Clara Pueblo), the museum’s curator of ethnology. “Both its rejuvenation and celebratory opening in July were inclusive with many participants from Native communities near and far.”
Museum exhibitions were also at the nexus of Native Amer ican events and activities in Santa Fe this spring and summer as the museum joined with more than 40 Native-focused cultural organizations under the umbrella of Indigenous Celebration New Mexico 2022 (IC22). In addition to Here, Now and Always and Clearly Indigenous, the museum’s hosting of Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a collaboration of the Indian Arts Research Center of the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe and the Vilcek Foundation in New York, was featured. The museum’s debut of the exhibition, which runs through May 29, 2023, includes 12 works in clay from the museum’s collection.
Treasures and Transition
Other museum needs in FY22—including education programming and acquisitions—benefited from proceeds from the 19th Annual Native Treasures Art Market, held over Memorial Day weekend. Over 174 Native artists returned to the Santa Fe Community Convention Center to show and sell their works. Among them was Virgil Ortiz (Cochiti
Pueblo), who was honored with the 2022 MIAC Living Trea sure Award, which recognizes Native artists who have made outstanding artistic contributions to Indigenous arts and culture. An exhibition of Ortiz’s ceramics and photographic works are featured in ReVOlution: Virgil Ortiz, on view at the museum through April 1, 2023.
Native Treasures raised some $40,479 for the museum in FY22. Additionally, the Foundation’s Education Fund for the museum generated $9,615, while grants through the Foun dation raised $179,707. Total private support for the museum in FY22 was $693,150.
A leadership transition also took place in FY22, with the retirement of Della Warrior, the museum’s executive director. In recognition of her eight years at the museum, the Della Warrior Endowment Fund was established to generate support for exhibitions and educational programs in the future. With Warrior’s departure, Melissa S. Powell was named deputy director. Powell’s experience includes more than 25 years at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology in Albuquerque.

A Year of Education
Engaging the Public
The headline from the Museum of International Folk Art in fiscal year 20212022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022) was the enduring popularity of education programs. These were bolstered by $47,318 in private contributions to the museum’s Education Fund via the Museum of New Mexico Foundation.
More than 7,500 people attended an array of public museum events during FY22 while 4,000 participated in off-site events. The museum’s specialty Folk Art to Go kits remained a solid hit with the younger set, with more than 2,300 distributed throughout the fiscal year.
The museum continued its strong partnerships with three public schools: El Camino Real Academy and Mandela International Magnet School in Santa Fe and San Juan Elementary School in the Española school district. Students from each school engaged in museum-led art projects, which were exhibited in the museum atrium with parents, family members and teachers attending.
The museum’s six-year collaboration with Cooking with Kids again served over 5,000 children in seven Rio Arriba County schools and thirteen public schools in Santa Fe County. In FY22, museum educators designed a folk art

lesson and art project complementing the food and culture of Cuba, the focus of the students’ cooking lessons.
The museum’s bilingual educator continued her work at Gerard’s House in Santa Fe. Projects included free folk art therapy craft sessions for young parents and a summer camp for youth grieving from life-changing loss and trauma.
Museum educators participated in the 10th annual Teacher’s Night Out Resource Fair, providing some 100 teachers with an overview of the museum’s educational opportunities.
Exhibitions also received significant support in FY22 with $175,876 in private gifts to the museum’s Exhibitions Devel opment Fund via the Foundation. In December of 2021, Dressing with Purpose: Belonging and Resistance in Scandi navia, examining costume’s role in expressing national identity, opened in the Neutrogena Wing. Elisabeth Alley, a longtime museum volunteer and Friends of Folk Art member, planned the opening evening in the museum atrium featuring a festive traditional Scandinavian dinner and holiday decor.
Work on future exhibitions is also benefiting from the funds generated in FY22, including $50,000 in grants and a total of $779,676 in overall division support.
Preparations continued for the January 2023 opening of La Cartonería Mexicana: The Mexican Art of Paper and Paste, featuring many historic and contemporary papier-mâché objects from the museum’s collection. Objects include piñatas, dolls, Day of the Dead skeletons and fantastical animals called alebrije. During the exhibition’s run, Mexican artists will demonstrate the cartonería craft and a giant alebrije will be on view at Santa Fe’s Southside Library.
The exhibition To Keep Them Warm: The Alaska Native Parka makes its museum debut in May 2023. The show explores how Indigenous peoples in a much colder clime protect themselves from the elements wearing parkas whose mate rials, beauty and craftsmanship belie their utilitarian func tion. Viewers will be treated to drawings, dolls and parka-making tools, as well as historic photographs illus trating the contexts in which parkas are worn. Examples of new directions in parka-making and sewing complete the picture of the Alaska Native parka in contemporary society.

Notable Newsmakers
The museum moved forward with a series of transitions in FY22. A new sign was hoisted above the Museum of Interna tional Folk Art Shop in the name of Lynn Godfrey Brown, a former Foundation trustee and one of the folk art world’s biggest champions. The recognition was merited by Brown’s $100,000 gift to the Foundation’s newly established Alexander Girard Legacy Fund.
On June 14, 2022, the Friends of Folk Art, flush with three years of donated folk art, moved their largest-ever fund raising event to the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds. There, the 11th Annual Folk Art Flea raised a record-breaking $150,684 to support museum exhibitions and education programs. To date, the Folk Art Flea has raised more than $600,000 for the museum.
Finally, new leadership took the helm at the museum as former executive director Khristaan Villela departed for the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In May, Kate Macuen, the museum’s director of collections stepped in as interim executive director. Also, Laura J. Mueller, former curator of art at the Portland Japanese Garden, replaced Aurelia Gomez as deputy director.

A Year of Digitization
Expanding Audiences Online
A push for the digitization of collections and other museum resources was top priority at the New Mexico History Museum during fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022). That initiative, as well as exhibitions and public programs, generated $467,317 in institutional support in FY22 through grants and private gifts.
Billy Garrett, the museum’s executive director, says digitization adds another dimension to the multi-building museum campus, making it accessible to “users both on our campus and around the world” without having to physi cally visit. He points out that the museum’s website—nmhistory.org— recorded more than 2.6 million visits. Viewers from outside the country were as equitably represented as those from the Southwest.
Some of those users will undoubtedly be excited to have online access to the collection of seventh-generation New Mexican John S. Candelario. Though best known as a photographer, Candelario captured an assortment of Native songs, Spanish folk songs, interviews, lectures and more on reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. In FY22, a $15,000 grant from the Council on Library Informa tion Resources enabled staff at the museum’s Fray Angélico Chávez History Library to digitize and preserve some 200 of his rare audio recordings. While new audiences were engaged online, in-person outreach brought others to the source while also providing funding support in FY22. Friends of History, the museum’s member support group, continued to raise funds and increase awareness of the museum through a year-round program of tours, lectures and other events.
By the Numbers $100,175 raised for exhibitions $2,675 raised for education $224,564 raised in grants 131% increase in ticketed attendance 88,942 Facebook audience size $9,061 raised at Fred Harvey Weekend 17 new staff members $467,317 total division support $549,270 Campaign for New Mexico History

Friends of History is perhaps best known for its downtown walking tours. Noting that tours now take place seven days per week with the season extended through Thanksgiving, Friends of History Steering Committee Chair Michael Ettema says, “This has been a year of expansion.” To that end, a FY22 $17,000 New Mexico Humanities Council grant made it possible for the tour manager to rewrite the docent training manual and to create a downloadable walking tour app.
Last November, history enthusiasts again gathered in Santa Fe for the annual museum-sponsored Fred Harvey History Weekend. Proceeds benefited the museum and included presentations in the museum auditorium and dinner at two historic New Mexico Fred Harvey hotels—Santa Fe’s La Fonda on the Plaza and the Castañeda in Las Vegas.
A Better Understanding
Garrett says the museum’s exhibitions strive for “bigger themes which resonate with our audience” in an effort “to better understand our world and how to operate in it.”
The Foundation’s Exhibitions Development Fund generated $100,175 in FY22 for exhibitions exploring local and global history. Opening in March 2022 was Curative Powers: New Mexico’s Hot Springs, whose 90 photographs provided a history of New Mexico’s restorative hot springs, which became internationally known for their healing properties in the late 19th century. This was followed in April and May by Stories, Memories, and Legacies, which educated museum-goers about one of the largest WWII internment camps in the country in the heart of Santa Fe.
Finally, steady progress continued in FY22 on significant interior renovations of the iconic Palace of the Governors, whose centuries-long local and global history appeals to residents and visitors alike. The year saw nearly $1 million directed toward these repairs with completion anticipated at the end of 2023.

An Exceptional Year
Exhibitions, Donations and More
For New Mexico Museum of Art Executive Director Mark White, Poetic Justice: Judith F. Baca, Mildred Howard and Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith (October 2021 through June 2022) was the museum’s “major exhibition” for fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022).
It was also just one of many exciting shows that benefited from $565,661 in museum support through the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s Exhibi tions Development Fund during FY22.
Using pop culture imagery, Poetic Justice drew attention to such timely issues as the environment, housing, civil rights, police brutality and immigration through painting, installation and film. Baca, Howard and Quick-to-SeeSmith, artists now in their 70s and 80s, “are having career moments,” says White, “and are finally being recognized.”
Itself long recognized for a premier photography collection, the museum also exhibited the early work of Ansel Adams in FY22. Sixteen of Adams’ prints from the museum’s collection, including two promised gifts, were on view in Ansel Adams: Pure Photography from January through May of 2022. Two of Adams’ most iconic later prints, Aspens, New Mexico and Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, were also displayed.
By the Numbers $565,661 raised for exhibitions $36,411 raised for education 1,327 youth reached $436,044 in grants 54,248 museum visitors 109 new collections acquisitions 7 exhibitions opened $1,237,426 total division support

As Curator of Photography
Katherine Ware noted, “This was a year of excep tional donations. I was especially delighted to have the opportunity to select a group of photographs from the private collection of W.M. Hunt in New York.”
Another exhibition, Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch (April 2021 through January 2022), showcased some of the greatest hits in Southwest art. Through her eponymous galleries, Horwitch advanced hundreds of Southwestern artists’ careers, fostering what has been called “Southwest pop.” Drawn from the museum’s collection, the show’s featured artists included Billy Schenck, John Fincher, Fritz Scholder, Georgia O’Keeffe and more.
Go West Said a Small Voice: Gustave Baumann and Dreams of New Mexico (August 2021 to February 2022) highlighted another perennially favorite Southwestern artist. Baumann was known for his depictions of New Mexico genre scenes of local landscapes and cultures. Works by 20th-century Baumann contemporaries, such as Cady Wells and Gene Kloss, as well as modern-day santeros Gustavo Victor Goler and Arthur López, provided additional interpretations of New Mexican life and culture.
Exhibitions were accompanied by education programs in FY22, made possible by $36,411 in private contributions to the museum’s Education Fund through the Foundation. Grant funding for the fiscal year reached $436,044, bringing total support for the museum in FY22 to $1,237,426.
Private giving from philanthropist Fred R. Haas through the Wyncote Foundation turned attention to the museum’s Saint Francis Auditorium, a centerpiece of Santa Fe’s cultural and social life. The Wyncote Foundation made possible the successful repair of the auditorium organ, unused for years. The auditorium also features a cycle of murals representing the Franciscans in the New World. These were designed in 1917 by Donald Beauregard, one of the first artists whose work Museum of New Mexico founder Edgar Lee Hewett
purchased for the museum’s collection. The murals were ultimately painted by Kenneth Chapman and Carlos Vierra after Beauregard’s premature death. A retrospective on Beauregard, curated by Dr. White, is in the works..
Looking Forward
FY22 was also steeped in planning for the soon-to-open Vladem Contemporary. The occasion has galvanized the Friends of Contemporary Art and Photography, noted Shaun Gilmore, chair of the group’s Steering Committee. The Friends intend to increase their activities to encompass the new venue with a year-round lecture series, increased support of educational programming and an annual contri bution to the museum’s acquisition fund.
A recent $10,000 gift will be used to purchase a work by Nancy Holt, an American contemporary artist. The group also plans to support site-specific installations by emerging New Mexico artists in the Vladem Contemporary’s Window Box, a storefront-like window display.

A Year of Abundance
Sites Enjoy Renewal and Repair
Historians and other researchers studying New Mexico’s rich history and diverse cultures turn to primary sources, such as documents or artifacts, that provide direct evidence of their subject.
As places where history happened, each of the eight New Mexico Historic Sites serves as a stellar example.
In fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022), the Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner Historic Site strengthened its story as it debuted its new permanent exhibition, Bosque Redondo: A Place of Suffering, A Place of Survival, on May 28, 2022.
Designed in partnership with with Navajo Nation and Mescalero Apache tribe, the exhibition uses state-of-the-art technology to tell the story of the Long Walk, one of the most tragic events in this country’s history, when thou sands of Navajo (Diné) and Apache (N’de) were forcibly removed from their homelands to inhospitable land in central New Mexico. The memorial and its exhibition provide witness to this history.
The exhibition opening drew hundreds to the site for speeches, food, music, Native dance performances, children’s activities and Native art. The

reimagined display and public outreach programming were funded in part by a previous grant via the Museum of New Mexico Foundation from the National Endowment for the Humanities. That $150,000 matching challenge grant gener ated $300,000 for the project over several years.
Private gifts in FY22 through the Foundation’s Exhibitions Development Fund generated an additional $2,545 for exhi bitions at all of the sites, while the Education Fund drew $5,745. A total of $43,244 was raised in private support for the division.
Planting and Preserving
FY22 could have easily been called “The Year of the Garden” as several sites statewide exercised their green thumb. Los Luceros Historic Site, a 148-acre ranch on the Río Grande just north of Española, engaged local farmers to help prepare and plant the fields with corn, winter wheat, watermelon, pumpkins, carrots and beans. Also located on the banks of the Río Grande, just north of Albuquerque, Coronado Historic Site debuted a redesigned interpretive garden inspired by traditional Indigenous waffle gardens and raised-row gardens. The “Three Sisters,” a tradi tional Native American companion planting method of corn, beans and squash, flourished along with amaranth, cotton and other traditional Pueblo crops. The newly created interpretive garden at Jemez Historic Site, located in the village of Jemez Springs, also featured an abundance of traditional Pueblo crops. Meanwhile, FY22 allocations from the New Mexico State Legislature and dedicated site Friends groups helped keep historic site structures—and the memories they hold—in repair and open to the public.
At Lincoln Historic Site, a town preserved as it was in 1880, phase one of the Tunstall Store’s preservation was success fully completed. This included foundation repairs, window and wood treatments and the humane removal of Mexican Freetail and Pallid bats who had made the building’s attic their home. The building re-opened to the public in the spring of 2022.
Some of Fort Stanton Historic Site’s 88 buildings date to 1855. Roofs on the Barracks, Fire House and Chapel were
repaired in FY22, while mold mitigation took place in the Nurses’ Quarters. The site’s water system was also completely refurbished.
The central parade ground at Fort Selden, an adobe garrison of 20 buildings, had its irrigation system upgraded and new gravel pathways installed. And at the Taylor-Mesilla Historic Property, where resident Foundation donor J. Paul Taylor turned 102, installation of a much-needed HVAC system helped stabilize the home’s interior temperatures and preserve priceless art and furnishings.
Finally, modernization and technology added to the visitor’s experience at various sites in FY22. Upgrades included touchscreens at Bosque Redondo Memorial, downloadable self-guided tour apps at Los Luceros and Jemez, and newly installed interpretive signage at Coronado.

A Year of Revealing Research
Advancing Archaeological Knowledge
Research and education at the Office of Archaeological Studies benefited from the generosity of private donors during fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022), generating a total of $189,233 from individuals, endowment payouts and grants.
A portion of these funds enabled OAS staff to pursue research and share knowledge beyond the salvage archaeology projects that help support this nonprofit enterprise division of the Museum of New Mexico system.
The Center for New Mexico Archaeology, the hub for OAS’s five specialized research laboratories, again had a robust research year, thanks to total endowment payouts of $56,594 from the Dr. Don E. Pierce Endowment Fund, Albert Simms Endowment Fund and the Friends of Archaeology Endowment Fund, as well as private research-designated gifts.
Thanks to this wide-ranging support, the OAS radiocarbon sampling labora tory, under the direction of Dr. Marvin Rowe, engaged staff and volunteers in work on 11 projects for various international clients in FY22. This resulted in more than 70 dates of OAS plasma oxidation samples, including the first ever

dates for rock art from the Sultanate of Oman. Another exciting project used insect fecal pellets to date Coptic textiles.
A third study, the radiocarbon dating of juniper ceiling wood from Room 219 at Aztec Ruins National Monument in north western New Mexico, also illuminated new discoveries. While tree-ring dating of pine and fir ceiling materials at the ruins documented beam harvest and construction dates between 1111 and 1113 CE (AD), growth patterns in the juniper ceiling were too erratic to establish climate correla tions. Repeated radiocarbon sampling of the outer rings revealed that the juniper died 230 to 430 years earlier than the cutting of the other woods. Juniper trees can survive as standing dead wood long after other species have decayed, and the Room 219 wood fits that model.
“The dating discrepancy is a warning of the pitfalls of relying on only one approach to dating archaeological structures,” says Office of Archaeological Studies Director Eric Blinman. “Private support through the Museum of New Mexico Foun dation allows our specialized research laboratories to go beyond simple answers to questions.”
Other vital information about New Mexico’s archaeological past was uncovered in FY22 in the OAS osteology lab via analysis at Pindi Pueblo, where site excavations in the 1930s recovered more than 80 burials of village residents. OAS Archaeologist Ann Stodder assembled a team of bioarchae ologists to describe these individuals and begin to create life histories.
Initial observations are that the Pindi residents were taller and generally healthier than residents of the later Classic period sites. Although there are traces of tuberculosis at Pindi, the incidences are fewer than at the later and more crowded villages. Data analysis is ongoing, and the team may be able to suggest whether the same or different genetic populations account for the discrete occupations.
Reaching Tribal Communities
The awarding-winning educational programs of OAS were also bolstered by private giving in FY22, including $14,527 in support from the OAS Education Fund via the Foundation. Additionally, a Futures for Children Legacy Fund grant allowed OAS staff to work with tribal schools and organiza tions in the design and delivery of education programs.
The highlight of the year, a collaboration with San Ildefonso Pueblo Day School, resulted in a multi-day program focusing on knowledge of the environment around the Pueblo. Tribal elders engaged students in the spiritual and historical importance of traditional places. On other days, students learned concepts and practices of mapmaking.
Students also took field trips, including one to Bandelier National Monument for an introduction to plants, animals, geology and geomorphology. They spent another day at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology, where they were intro duced to the diversity and sophistication of traditional tech nologies, including ancient hunting techniques, yucca textiles and ethnobotany. They also learned about modern technologies of dating and geographic information systems.

Best Year Ever
Record-Breaking Sales Drive Shops Forward
It was a banner year for the Museum Shops as recordbreaking sales reflected a rebound in attendance during fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022).
As thousands of visitors were drawn to major exhibitions at our cultural institutions on Museum Hill and downtown Santa Fe, shop sales benefited—to the tune of $3.6 million. In turn, these revenues supported the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s ability to serve our four Santa Fe museums, eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies.
The Colleen Cloney Duncan Shop at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture again proved itself as one of the state’s premier locations to purchase museum-quality jewelry, pottery and other original Native American arts, in addition
to an unparalleled selection of books and exhibition catalogs on Native art. Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass, a groundbreaking exhibition of works in glass by 33 Indigenous artists, reflected the artform’s large following as Native contemporary art glass for sale in the shop and online marked the single largest growth category this year.
Additionally, sales of the stunning Clearly Indigenous catalog topped 1,000 copies. An expanded selection of Pueblo pottery accompanied the reopening of Here, Now and Always and remained a best-seller. Native jewelry, especially Jimmy Poyer’s (Navajo/Diné) inlay designs, remained a top seller as well.
At the recently dedicated Lynn Godfrey Brown Shop at the Museum of International Folk Art, exquisite items by newly

featured jewelers and potters expanded and increased sales of the museum’s popular product lines. Best-selling products include a full line of calacas (skeletons), calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls) and Catrinas (female skeletons), whose sales were especially brisk during the museum’s annual Day of the Dead Community Day. Merchandise inspired by the Yokai: Ghosts & Demons of Japan exhibition also attracted a range of shoppers. The younger set related to the shop’s Pokémon characters, while other Japanese products, espe cially ceramics, sold well to their parents and grandparents.
Downtown, the Spiegelberg Shop at the New Mexico History Museum continued to be a destination for art collectors and aficionados alike. The shop’s best-sellers included original works by local silversmiths, local sculptors like the everpopular Gregory Lomayesva (Hopi), and San Ildefonso Pueblo potters Marvin Martinez and Marvin Lee Martinez, fourth- and fifth-generation descendants of internationally renowned potter Maria Martinez. Sales also benefited from the shop’s reputation as a local literary resource, offering books on the history of both Santa Fe and New Mexico, nonfiction and fiction books by local authors, exhibition cata logs and more.
At the Rosalie D. and Steven J. Harris Shop at the New Mexico Museum of Art, sales of Gustave Baumann-related merchan dise were sparked by the exhibition Go West Said A Small Voice: Gustave Baumann and Dreams of New Mexico. Bestsellers included Baumann calendars and posters. The currently out-of-print catalog, Gustave Baumann’s Southwest, will be republished in 2023 and is anticipated to return as a
shop best-seller. The book features more than 50 reproduc tions of the artist’s woodblock prints and gouaches as well as an essay by former Museum of Art curator Joseph Traugott.
A Local Approach
For decades, the Museum Shops have showcased local vendors and artists, whose works comprise more than 70% of their museum-related merchandise.
“Seven of our top 20 best-sellers are custom products based on iconic museum pieces,” says Teresa Curl, the Founda tion’s vice president of retail. “Moving forward, we will be expanding this category.”
In FY22, Curl took the retail reins from Sara Birmingham, who over two decades played a significant role in developing the Museum Shops into a powerhouse retail operation supporting Foundation operating expenses.
“Our Museum Shops became arts and crafts galleries set amidst Santa Fe’s high standards,” Birmingham recalls. “We stuck with that vision and never looked back. The shops are in the top tier of museum shops nationwide. Our reputation among vendors, artists, customers and visitors is stellar.”
Now under Curl’s direction, inspired by this record-breaking year, the quality of merchandise continues to evolve while dedicated shop staff members keep customers coming back for more.

A Bountiful Year
Licensing Program Yields Creative Collaborations
Fiscal year 2021-2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022) deliv ered a bounty of products from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s licensing department. Pamela Kelly, the Foun dation’s vice president of licensing, signed three new agree ments, ushered three new collections to market, and arranged for a significant carpet donation to the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. Overall, the program generated nearly $136,000 in gross revenues.
Among the highlights was a return visit last November from the Kravet Fabrics design team to the Museum of Interna tional Folk Art. It was the first time since 2002 that Scott Kravet, the executive creative director for his family’s textile business, reviewed the collection. Fifty textiles were photo graphed, and the Foundation’s fifth Kravet fabric collection will launch in early 2024.
Early in 2022, Kelly signed with Hartmann & Forbes of Port land, Oregon, an innovative producer of bespoke, hand woven window and wall coverings featuring sustainably harvested natural fibers. Design inspiration for their collec tion, launching in 2024, comes from the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture basketry, textile and pottery collections.
The final FY22 license is with Annie Sloan, a famed UK-based artist, colorist and paint manufacturer. Sloan invented “chalk paint,” a sensation among DIY home décor enthusiasts that can be applied to any surface without preparation. Sloan’s Foundation collaboration will feature a paint line based on the collections at the Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and Santa Fe in general, as well as several paper products—stencils, sketch books and more—for use in DIY furniture painting kits. Sloan’s international magazine, The Colourist, will feature a story about this exciting collaboration launching in 2024.
New collections from existing licensees also debuted in FY22. Jan Kath, creator of hand-knotted carpets, introduced several new rug colorways from the successful Common Threads collection. Accessory and furniture manufacturer
Studio|A Home completed work on several new products launching in early 2024.
Finally, Mohawk introduced its third carpet collaboration, Celebrated Heritage, based on objects from the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. The company generously donated carpet tiles from this collection for the entrance of the muse um’s Here, Now and Always exhibition as well as in the Buchsbaum and Lloyd Kiva New galleries.
