The son of an evangelical minister and a schoolteacher/librarian, Jay Rogers was on track to follow his father to the pulpit. Then he read the Bible … really read it. His study led him to atheism, then humanism. Jay is an Albuquerque resident, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army, father, husband and friend to anyone who wants to be. Jay will explain his understanding of humanism and why it has become his guiding life philosophy.
“We talk a lot about what humanism is,” Jay says. “But too often it gets defined through the scope of atheism, or as a counterweight to religion. We rarely discuss the broader effects of humanism in practice, or the motivation to practice it as a philosophy.”

CHARLOTTE JACKSON FINE ARTopens with RONALD DAVIS: The Polar Series
The Polar Series, an exhibition of new paintings by Ronald Davis will open at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art on March 6 and extend through March 31.
An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, March 6 from 5-7 p.m.
A Gallery Talk, "A Conversation, Remembering Ron Davis," with guest panelists Ron Cooper, Jim Grant, and Gary Wong will be held on Saturday, March 7 from 2 - 4 p.m. The gallery is located in the Railyard Arts District at 554 South Guadalupe Street.
These discs of brilliant and confounding color are alluringly tactile. There is an itch in the palm, a desire to smooth one's hand over the curved edges of the tondos, across their abstract, colorful geometries. The rounded edges and glossy surfaces underscore the lived experience of Ronald Davis’s last series of work, The Polar Series, as objects rather than, in a more classical and rarified sense, paintings. Mounted atop diamond shaped canvases, the inner tondos tug at the viewer, zeroing one's vision center-ward with their bullseye-like attraction.
Charlotte Jackson Fine Art is honored to present a selection of pieces from Ronald Davis's final body of work, The Polar Series, including the very last painting that Davis completed a few days before his death, Timer.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Yoni Appelbaum, Deputy Executive Editor at The Atlantic and author of Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity. Appelbaum explores how moving in search of opportunity—once central to American life—has become increasingly out of reach for working-class families. Today, many people are no longer moving to where jobs are growing, but to where housing is simply affordable, as housing policy has turned homes into scarce investments. We’ll discuss how mobility, housing, and opportunity are playing out locally in Albuquerque, and potential paths forward.
