  • Best Yard Contest

    In 2024, Zuni Pueblo MainStreet received gift certificates from a collaborative project with the Keep Zuni Beautiful program but were left wondering how to best use them. In an effort to get our residents involved in our MainStreet, ZPMS inaugurated the Best Yard on MainStreet (BYMS) Contest where residents cleaned and beautified their yards. In 2025, ZPMS themed the contest as a Christmas decorating contest and opened it to the entire Zuni community. ZPMS intends to keep the contest running into the future with participation from our residents and generous sponsors.

    Elahkwa to all the residents who participate in the contest!

    And a very special Elahkwa to our generous sponsors!

    Billboard Reconstruction

    In 2024, heavy winds destroyed the only billboard on the Zuni reservation that welcomes visitors coming in from the east on Highway 53.

    The vinyl billboard covering was collaboratively created by local artists from Zuni Pueblo ArtWalk over 10 years ago. Prior to this, the original billboard was constructed of wood and created by local business owners at that time.

    ZPMS is seeking help from the public to help us reconstruct or replace the billboard! The first step in our efforts is to identify the new stakeholders who will assist with the project. Help us by donating to the reconstruction of the billboard!

  • ZPMS Board Capacity Building

    ZPMS continuously works with NMMS technical specialists to strengthen our board capacity, board membership, and increase our volunteer community. As an nationally accredited program, ZPMS receives technical service at no charge from New Mexico MainStreet.
