A geologic map is an amazing 4-dimensional data array that delineates the location, type and age of the rocks around you. New Mexico’s landscape is a perfect example of dynamic, primary geology; and as you travel around the state, a geologic map can help you understand how and why the landscape can look so different in different parts of the state and the link between landscape and geology.
Join geologist and educator Jayne Aubele to learn how to make use of this amazing tool. This is an adults and older students-only class. No prior knowledge of geology needed.

Harwood Museum of Art is pleased to announce its exhibition Nicholas Herrera: El Rito Santero, a glimpse into the life and works of master santero Nicholas Herrera. Born and raised in the village of El Rito, New Mexico, Herrera’s art is rooted in the spiritual traditions and artistic practices of his Northern New Mexican mestizo (Spanish, Mexican, Native American) heritage.

As a modern santero, Herrera creates bultos, retablos, and large-scale mixed media works, many of which detail rich and often challenging chapters in his storied life. Through varied mediums, this exhibition surveys Herrera’s personal identity, family history, relationship to place, and political ideology.

Harwood Museum of Art is proud to exhibit the first solo museum exhibition of Nicholas Herrera.

A free presentation by Mickey Kivitz, M.S. and Director of Education for The Grief Center of New Mexico.

Raising kids has always been a balancing act. When someone in the family dies, however, everyone’s world is turned upside down. Getting through the pain of your own loss while attending to your children’s needs, who are also grieving, is an incredible challenge. Parenting Through Grief (written by Jade Richardson Bock and Dr. Craig Pierce), provides a framework for how to navigate parenting in the shadow of loss. With simple strategies to help you connect with your family during this difficult and painful time, Parenting Through Grief provides the comfort of knowing you can still parent with confidence and love.

All presentations are 1 hour long, free of charge, and provided via Zoom. Thank you to the Office of Student and Adolescent Health (New Mexico Department of Health) for sponsoring this training series.
