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artists whose works explore landscapes and the environment, documentary photography, abstraction, and traditional art historical references.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.

❄️ We're back in 2026 at FUSION Downtown! Three Winter Markets, once a month on Second Saturday: January - March: 10am -1pm.

🥕 Featuring over 50 local growers, artisans, and food vendors, the Winter Market extends the energy of the Robinson Park season into the colder months—bringing fresh produce, handmade goods, and cozy community vibes to downtown all winter long.

👨🏼‍🌾 The DGM’s Winter Market’s format offers a monthly market during January, February, and March. These months were chosen to support what local farmers and makers can provide during the colder season, fulfilling a long-standing community request for a year-round market.

🍯 Shoppers can look forward to an array of winter foods, including fresh local honey, farm-fresh eggs, winter vegetables, hand-crafted goods, and natural wellness products. The Winter Market will provide a cozy indoor/outdoor atmosphere, bringing together the best of Albuquerque’s local growers, artisans, and food vendors. Look for vendors inside and outside the FUSION campus!

🤝 The Downtown Growers' Market’s Winter Market is more than a shopping destination; it’s a celebration of community, resilience, and the enduring connection between local producers and their supporters.

➡️ The Market accepts EBT/SNAP funds {which we'll double for you}, that can be processed at our Information Booth. Also, if you forgot cash we have you covered with our market tokens!

Living Village Grief is bringing a grief tending ritual to FUSION | The Cell on Saturday, July 11, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Grief was never meant to live in isolation. In coming together, participants remember that healing happens in community, and in the brave act of allowing themselves to be seen. Together, participants will tend what aches, soften what has hardened, and reconnect with what matters most deeply. These gatherings honor grief in all its forms: personal loss, endings and transitions, sorrow for the world, ecological grief, political and cultural heartbreak, ancestral wounds, loss of village and belonging, and the quiet griefs that often go unnamed. Every grief belongs in this space. Participants will weave together group singing and sounding, movement, poetry, guided visualizations, altar work, writing with witnessing, and grief conversations. This ritual will be held over five hours, with a half-hour break woven into the day

Living Village Grief are facilitators of grief tending steeped in the tradition of creating a safe container for the processing of grief in communal space using a variety of modalities to express what has often been compartmentalized in our culture around loss, longing, and exile. Their mission is to facilitate movement towards wholeness in the unfolding of grief together in groups.

This grief tending ritual is facilitated by Luna Cervantes, Deva Khalsa, and Rebecca Leeman.

REGISTRATION: $50 Early Bird (Until July 4) | $60 General Admission

HANDMADE FUTURE follows artisans in six countries preserving heritage, navigating the complex role of middlemen, and advancing responsible trade—pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection.

From rug weavers in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and block printers in India’s Golden Triangle to Appalachian broom makers in Kentucky and recycled-glass blowers in Kenya, HANDMADE FUTURE showcases craftspeople worldwide whose work carries generations of skill, culture and creativity. It considers the ethics, artistry and equity of the global craft economy—highlighting the beauty of handwork, the pressures makers face, and those determined to keep their traditions alive in a rapidly modernizing world. The film reflects on how artisans might guide us towards a more sustainable, community-focused future.

The Filmmakers:
Kirsten and Brandon Dickerson (former residents and ongoing friends of Fredericksburg) are at the helm of HANDMADE FUTURE. Their partnership as filmmakers ensures the blend of creative storytelling and visionary leadership, grounded in decades of experience in both film and social impact initiatives involving artisans and people living on the margins of our global community.
