Community Calendar

Would you like time set aside to make your own art? Do you need a regular creative ‘fix’? If you respond well to the rhythm of weekly classes, would like to work more with a particular media, or want to get back into regular creative practice, this is the perfect place for you! As fellow artists, art instructors, and ArtFix moderators, Lea Anderson and Ivan Boyd, are here to offer valuable feedback, mentorship, tips and suggestions for whatever you want to work on. The last night of class will be set aside for a supportive group critique. This fun, friendly, unique atmosphere will provide opportunities for networking, discussion, and creative growth. Make time for this important part of your life! Open to all experience levels.

Join us for a conversation with the IPCC “Sentient Structures” exhibition artists Skye Tafoya (Eastern Band Cherokee/Santa Clara Pueblo) and SABA (Diné/Jemez Pueblo). The artists will discuss their creative inspirations and processes for their artworks made across many mediums. The roundtable will focus on the concept of “Sentient Structures” and what these kinds of interspecies collaborations mean to the artists. There will be a Q&A portion at the end of the discussion. Registration required. Free event. This program is in association with the “Sentient Structures: The Art of Skye Tafoya + SABA” exhibition in the IPCC Artists Circle Gallery (Aug 9-Nov 2, 2025).

“Sentient Structures: The Art of Skye Tafoya + SABA,” on view through November 2, 2025, showcases the work of two artists creating architecturally-inspired expressions in materials that respond to the senses. Skye Tafoya (Eastern Band Cherokee/Santa Clara Pueblo) weaves paper structures and embeds knowledge in them through her printmaking processes. SABA (Diné/Jemez Pueblo) makes paintings and prints that anchor Pueblo architecture as evolving sites of home. This exhibition offers innovative approaches to printmaking, painting, and book arts and blurs the lines between two and three-dimensional mediums.

Directed by Dr. Christopher Buckholz and Robby Beasley.

Spider's Web is Agatha Christie's second most successful play - a comedy-thriller about Clarissa, a diplomat's wife, who discovers a dead body in her drawing-room. To prevent her diplomat husband from bringing an important politician home to the scene of the crime, she enlists her unsuspecting guests to help hide the body. However, their cover-up attempt is complicated by the arrival of a sharp detective, Inspector Lord, leading to a chaotic and humorous mix of lies and suspense as everyone tries to conceal the truth. Performances October 17th – November 9th. Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm, Sundays at 2.00pm. Saturday, November 1st, matinee at 2pm only. Thursdays at 7.30pm, October 23rd and November 6th.

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.

It will be on view in the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s South Gallery from March 25 through December 7, 2025

Free for museum members, or with admission.

Harwood Art Center is pleased to present Encountering Masculinity by 2025 Artist in Residence, Jocelyn Salaz. Encountering Masculinity explores masculinity through the lens of the performative theory of gender. Jocelyn examines men’s clothing, beginning with her own family for a generational perspective and then men from different world ethnicities and geographies. She grounds her exploration in clothing because of her interest in how textiles create a boundary between intimate space and the outside world, creating a space of resistance.

Join us for an Exhibition Reception & Artist Talk at Harwood on Saturday, October 18 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.
