The Pueblo of Jemez is the only remaining Towa speaking pueblo in New Mexico. Its inhabitants include decendants from Pecos Pueblo, just outside of Santa Fe, which was inhabited up until the 1830s. The people of Jemez continue to hold Pecos Pueblo in great deference and caretake the Pecos Pueblo site and keep the original pueblo alive in memory and ceremony. Some events and ceremonies are conducted at Pecos Pueblo itself.

Jemez is known for its polished red pottery and storytellers. Pottery is often decorated with traditional designs etched into the polished surface of the clay. Jemez art also includes basketry, traditional woven textiles, embroidery, stone and bronze sculpture, leatherwork, and silver, gold, and semiprecious stone jewelry.

Jemez Pueblo hosts an annual arts and crafts fair during Memorial day weekend and the second weekend in October at the Jemez Red Rocks just north of the Pueblo, and a winter arts and crafts show at the Pueblo Civic Center.
