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.

BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD is an abstract art exhibit that challenges the artists to transcend logic and language, reaching straight into our emotions and imagination. By focusing on form and feeling, it opens a space of freedom that representational art cannot always offer. It invites us inward—not to question what it is, but to wonder how it moves us. Exhibited art is submitted by ALBUQUERQUE ABSTRACT ARTISTS ALLIANCE.

Opening reception is January 22, 2026. 5 - 7PM

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.

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’ creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.

Lauren Gunderson's contemporary, “edge of your seat” thriller - a moving intersection of family, technology, and legacy. ‘Merril’, played by Stephanie Jones, is a brilliant tech-savvy AI programmer who refuses to accept the mysterious disappearance of her younger sister ‘Angie’, played by Lorri Layle Oliver. Using data, digital footprints, and artificial intelligence, she launches her own investigation—blurring the lines between truth, memory, and grief. Also in the cast are Renee Pezzotta as ‘Merril’'s grounded ex-girlfriend ‘Raquel’, and Echo Dobie as ‘Brin’, the estranged, recovering addict mother.

To quote director, Pete Parkin, “First of all I admire her writing. She is also the most produced playwright in the country right now! And there are 4 great parts for women! I have worked on several of Ms Gunderson’s plays at The Adobe over the last few years, as well as directing "The Revolutionists" at CNM when I was teaching there.

Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm, Sundays at 2.00pm. Saturday Jan 31 at 2.00pm only. Thursdays Jan 22 and 29 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available)
