The NMSU Art Museum is excited to announce the opening of Mapping Spaces: Selections from the Lannan Art Collection at NMSU. This exhibition will showcase selections from the generous gift of 63 works of art from the Lannan Art Collection to the NMSU Permanent Art Collection in 2024. Mapping Spaces will open in the Contemporary Gallery on Thursday, June 11th, and run until September 5th, 2026.
After almost 65 years, with 27 of those spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Lannan Foundation closed in 2024. As part of Lannan’s closure, the Foundation gifted its remaining collection of more than 1,600 objects to 55 institutions, including the NMSU Art Museum. By adding these pieces to the UAM’s collection, this gift deepens the significance of the works by placing them into an academic context, where teaching, research, and public engagement further activate each of them. The NMSU Permanent Art Collection continues to evolve and grow not only as a repository of contemporary art objects, but also as a living resource that invites ongoing dialogue about the role of artists in shaping how the NMSU and Las Cruces communities understand our dynamic border region.
Featuring artists such as Claudia Andujar, Subhankar Banerjee, Max Cole, Pard Morrison, Victoria Sambunaris, and James Turrell, Mapping Spaces brings together a dynamic range of artists whose works explore landscapes and the environment, documentary photography, abstraction, and traditional art historical references. Together, this exhibition features artists at the center of the UAM’s mission, emphasizing the importance of continued support for art, research, and community-engaged practices in cultivating a creative ecosystem across New Mexico.
Join us for the opening reception on June 11th from 4:30-6:30 PM. UAM is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm, at 1308 E. University Ave., Las Cruces, New Mexico, 88003. Admission to all programming is free and open to the public. For more information and a detailed calendar with associated programs and dates please visit uam.nmsu.edu.

Join Douglas Cardwell and Lotus Sound Bath at the free monthly sound healing series at the Cathedral of St. John, downtown ABQ (Silver & 3rd). This event is held on the first Monday of most months (holidays may affect schedule) and offers a wonderful way to experience sound healing for the first -or 100th time, and to introduce others to the sound bath experience in a welcoming, contemplative, and beautiful surrounding with great acoustics (and labyrinth!). This is a secular event, FREE, and everyone is welcome! So, feel free to bring friends and family and join us to break the daily routine, unplug (to recharge), release stress and deeply relax with a unique instrumental meditation practice and gathering. We love seeing and welcoming everyone at St. John's! 🕊️

Extra parking is available on street (Silver & 3rd) and in the adjoining lot to South, accessed from Lead Ave. Feel free to bring your mat, comforter, pillow, etc. to get comfortable.
