At that time, the idea of forming a for-profit corporation specifically to design, build, manage and contribute a share of its profits to make the nonprofit Poeh Center a reality was truly unique. Pojoaque’s Tribal Council not only had the wisdom to approve this innovative collaboration, but to also lend direct financial support to this endeavor.
			In late 1993, Poeh and PPCSC began construction with that first $200,000. Today, a little over two million dollars has been spent on the facility, which has art studios, administrative offices and a technology laboratory. The space for the new Poeh Museum -- with a four-story sun tower -- has also been completed. We are now in the process of raising another $1.2 million and completing plans for installation of the Museum’s exhibits and galleries for a 2002 opening.
