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’s 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.

You’re invited to a MartinArt! Exhibit Open House at FUSION | 708 on Friday, July 11, at 5–8 PM. As a part of the ABQ Artwalk and features ArtStop Market!

Introducing MartinArt! - an exhibit featuring works by long-time FUSION curator, Martin Michael Terry. Includes art from across Martin’s career, and includes works in oils, acrylics, watercolor, and other media. Martin was born and raised in the Hudson Valley of New York and moved to the Albuquerque area in 1991. Although he later traveled away from the area, he returned in 2012 and again immersed himself in the arts scene. He was a past president of the New Mexico Art League and exhibited in various shows, including the Unitarian Church, the South Broadway Cultural Center, 606 Gallery, and FUSION, where he also began curating in 2021.

While in Europe, he established a gallery at both the U.S. Embassy in Athens and at the Tri-Mission Embassy in Rome. The galleries were established to provide a space for the local employees (host country nationals working for the United States) to exhibit their own work. These galleries remain ongoing, under local employee leadership.

His career included working for the Walt Disney Corporation with comic book art. He spent many years working as an art therapist in New York State in the prison system, the state psychiatric facility, and in a community based out-patient mental health organization. He also taught art to private students, both in the U.S. and Europe.

Martin passed away in November 2024, while his final curated art show, PROTEST 2024! – was on display at FUSION | 708.

Note that a portion of all sales will be donated to FUSION, so that it can continue its support of the arts.

For the past 23 years, the glitz-tastic boys from Taos have been packing New Mexican dance floors as they belt out their Vegas-inspired renditions of classic 70’s and 80’s pop hits. Their past few outings at FUSION | 708 were fantastic shows, and the infamous duo will most likely be selling out the venue once again on Friday, July 11, 2025.

For those of you who have never seen the Taos based performance, Vanilla Pop’s synthesized arrangements focus primarily on their iconic take on 80’s classics, 70’s hits and retro Hip-Hop, (Vanilla Hip-Pop), but their unique and varied repertoire also embraces other artists such as Neil Diamond, Tom Jones and Metallica, all fitting flawlessly into the duo's tongue-in-cheek, sequin studded, Vegas inspired stage show.

The Santa Fe Reporter has called them “The coolest, hippest, swingin’-est band around”. Come on out to FUSION | 708 on July 11 to see why!

As always, dressing up in 70’s or 80’s attire is never frowned upon.

Show: Friday, July 11, 2025 at 8 PM
Tickets: $10 in advance. $15 day of show. This is a 21 and over event.
