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.

Keshet Dance Company New Works presents: Tarrion, a collaboration between choreographer and Keshet Company Dancer Ana Lopes Aréchiga and Albuquerque-based multimedia composer Zachariah Julian. Tarrion was born from an intense two-week collaborative process during the 2025 Hear Here Festival at Keshet. Left feeling like there was more to explore, the creators expanded into a full-length standalone work.
Set on the dancers of Keshet Dance Company, Tarrion is a visceral experience, a visually and aurally exquisite evening-length contemporary dance work that explores concepts of humanity, energy, forces of nature, and the essence/experience of inconclusiveness. Tarrion magnifies opportunities to evaluate our connection in and between bodies and spaces.
Join us in our idiosyncratic world of Tarrion.
John Steinbeck adapted his novel of the same name. It premiered on Broadway in 1937 and earned the 1938 New York Drama Critics' Circle Best Play. A poignant tragedy centers around two migrant field hands, the average-looking but smart ‘George’ and the strong but mentally-challenged ‘Lennie’ who work on a farm in California during the Great Depression. Their dream of owning their own farm is shattered when Lennie has an incident with the wife of the boss's son.
It is one of director Nancy Sellin’s all-time favorite shows. “The show offers a 1930s American perspective of poverty, prejudice against race, women, the disabled, the aged. In large part, we still have these issues today and the story is presented in such a way that we see the pathos and sadness of our choices with crystal clarity. Ultimately, it is a story of humanity at its most basic level. And, it is also a story of love at its core.” She has selected a terrific cast of some of Albuquerque’s best actors – Caedmon Holland and Daniel Anaya will play ‘Lennie’ and ‘Curley’. Other members of the cast are Kristine Padilla, Myles Hughes, Tim Reardon, Tom Doty, Eric Bodwell, Jacob Chavez, Castalia Mayerhofer. Spoiler alert, ‘Bowie’ will play ‘the dog’!
Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm. Sundays at 2.00pm. Saturday April 25 at 2.00pm only. Thursdays April 16 and 30 at 7.30pm.
