An Implementation I project that would undertake the installation of enhanced, more environmentally-friendly LED lighting in the exhibit gallery, collections storage, and preparatory spaces for a collection of 4,500 cultural items from southwest Tribes located in the New Mexico area.

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) seeks funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities through its Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections program to address urgent environmental needs of our museum and comprehensive collection spaces, specifically the exhibit galleries and collections storage and preparation areas. Addressing these needs will include the installation of enhanced, more environmentally friendly lower-lumen or LED lighting in these areas to ensure preventative conservation standards are met for all collections spaces and exhibitions moving forward.
