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.

“Sentient Structures: The Art of Skye Tafoya + SABA,” on view through November 2, 2025, showcases the work of two artists creating architecturally-inspired expressions in materials that respond to the senses. Skye Tafoya (Eastern Band Cherokee/Santa Clara Pueblo) weaves paper structures and embeds knowledge in them through her printmaking processes. SABA (Diné/Jemez Pueblo) makes paintings and prints that anchor Pueblo architecture as evolving sites of home. This exhibition offers innovative approaches to printmaking, painting, and book arts and blurs the lines between two and three-dimensional mediums.

Free for museum members, or with admission.

Curated by the Indigenous Design + Planning Institute at The University of New Mexico, “Restorying Our HeartPlaces: Contemporary Pueblo Architecture” showcases a near-present history of the architectural sovereignty that emerged after the 1975 Indian Self-Determination Act.

It will be on view in the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s South Gallery from March 25 through December 7, 2025

Free for museum members, or with admission.

In this exciting collage workshop, we will spend a full day producing and experimenting, creating a series of dramatically-textured surfaces on paper using a wide range of mixed-media. On day two, we will create beeswax collages with our textures and seal them with melted beeswax to create compelling, glowing, finished works of art. Participating artists will also come away with a great assortment of textured collage papers for future projects. All materials included… but bring anything you’d like to play with!

Harwood Art Center is pleased to present Encountering Masculinity by 2025 Artist in Residence, Jocelyn Salaz. Encountering Masculinity explores masculinity through the lens of the performative theory of gender. Jocelyn examines men’s clothing, beginning with her own family for a generational perspective and then men from different world ethnicities and geographies. She grounds her exploration in clothing because of her interest in how textiles create a boundary between intimate space and the outside world, creating a space of resistance.

Join us for an Exhibition Reception & Artist Talk at Harwood on Saturday, October 18 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.

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.
