Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. Based in the Southwest region, Arrowsoul Art Collective creates graffiti walls and mural paintings inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation. Located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery, their newest mural will be on display through June 28, 2026.

Free for museum members, or with admission.

Clay Speaks of Home, the annual New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists members exhibition opens at the Santa Fe Community College Visual Arts Gallery on March 5 and runs through April 8. The Gallery is open M_F from 9-5. With over 60 woks on exhibit (entries are open until January 23), this promises to be one of the largest and best exhibitions yet from this exciting, state-wide, 50-year-old organization. From expressive sculpture and evocative abstract forms to beautifully glazed lidded jars and pitchers, this exhibition has something for everyone. There are mixed media objects, wall hangings, functional and decorative ware that express everything from profound harmony with our New Mexican landscape to serious concerns with world events.
Join us at SFCC’s lovely campus for the opening on Thursday, March 5 from 4 to 6 pm to meet the artists, tour the gallery and hear who won the awards from the three jurors Serit deLopaz Kotowski (last year’s winner), Mary Sharp Davis (ceramicist extraordinaire) and Elizabeth Hunt (Head of Ceramics, SFCC).

BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD is an abstract art exhibit that challenges the artists to transcend logic and language, reaching straight into our emotions and imagination. By focusing on form and feeling, it opens a space of freedom that representational art cannot always offer. It invites us inward—not to question what it is, but to wonder how it moves us. Exhibited art is submitted by ALBUQUERQUE ABSTRACT ARTISTS ALLIANCE.

Opening reception is January 22, 2026. 5 - 7PM

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’ creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.

Pursuit of Happiness: Gi Bill in Taos refocuses the story of post-World War II artistic movements by highlighting those artists working, communing, and connecting in Taos from 1945 onward. These artists founded the next great wave of abstraction that took root in the region, bringing their vast creativity and international connections to the community. Highlighting works from Harwood Museum of Art’s permanent collection and sourcing significant loans regionally and nationally, this exhibition tells the story of how Taos contributed to conversations and explorations in the national art scene during the post-World War II period.

As part of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating our Pueblo women as we recognize their leadership, strength, and courage. On March 8 from 11 AM – 2 PM, we will be highlighting the accomplishments of women in Pueblo communities with dance performances and guest speakers. Join us to honor the importance of the women in our communities.

The Zuni Olla Maidens (Zuni Pueblo) will be dancing.
Celebrate the seasonal cycles through prayer, song, and dance with our Cultural Dance Program. Dances connect us to our ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from our Creator.
They ensure that life continues and connections to the past and future are reinforced. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is the only place in North America to offer cultural Native American dances every week, year-round.
Free for museum members, or with admission.
