"Our art is not a separate entity. It is a univeral gesture of prayer...And it harmonizes with the expression of life...Art is always there. There is always something done, something woven, something painted, something sculpted.”
—Jose Rey Toledo, Jemez Pueblo

Passports and Visas

Passport: All visitors from outside the US must have a valid passport that will be valid for 90-days beyond the length of your visit. It is a good idea to take a photocopy of your passport with you in case the original one gets lost.

Visa: Canadian citizens are not required to have a visa. Beginning January 12, 2009, all nationals, including children, from the 35 countries participating in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program will be required to obtain an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to boarding a U.S.-bound plane or sea vessel. If you are from one of the 35 participating countries you may apply online under the Visa Waiver Program by going to https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ (this website has a listing of the specific 35 countries). It may also be possible to obtain an ESTA through an air or sea carrier or a travel agent.

For more information on US visa requirements, please contact the United States embassy in your country or visit the Visitors to the US website.
