Director Shelden Nunez Velarde 

I have been working here at the Cultural Arts & Heritage for the past 17 years. I have been a full-time artist for most of my life. Learning, sharing and teaching about my culture is what I enjoy doing most. I welcome you to visit us.  I attended Parsons School of Design in New York City and San Juan College in Farmington N.M. 

Administrative Assistant: 

Perrine Quintana 

Perrine, a Marine Corp Veteran is from the Llanero clan of the Jicarilla Apache. She has been working with the Cultural Arts & Heritage Center since August 2022. Perrine is not an artist but is willing to learn our traditional arts and pass it on to daughter.  Prior to joining us she worked with the judicial system.
