LAS SANTERAS: IMAGES OF FAITH AND FOLKLORE
Saturday, June 13, 2020 - Sunday, January 10, 2021
NOTE: The opening date is currently pending. We are watching currently unfolding events carefully and will update the opening date when concrete information is available. Thank you for your flexibility.
Exhibition Summary:
This is one of the most significant gatherings of US Santeras in history. We are showing 28 pieces by 21 female artists, the majority of whom have never shown in a museum before. These are truly hidden treasures of this customarily masculine devotional art tradition, which is exclusive to the US Southwest. In this exhibition, the Santeras, from New Mexico and Colorado, are represented with an emphasis on their carving talents, history, differences in styles and contemporary expressions. Many of these Santeras carve and paint, as well as being involved in other types of cultural arts of New Mexico. Several originate from generations of artists, while others have gained their own fame and high status through their perseverance and hard work.
CONTEMPORARY ART / TAOS 2020
Tentatively - Saturday, July 4, 2020 - Sunday, April 18, 2021
NOTE: The opening date is currently pending. We are watching currently unfolding events carefully and will update the opening date when concrete information is available. Thank you for your flexibility.
Exhibition Summary:
What is the status of today’s living Taos Art Colony? The Harwood Museum of Art’s new “Contemporary Art / Taos 2020” exhibit intends to answer that question. This January, the Harwood invited living artists active in their career and creating visual art in Taos County, or those with deep ties to Taos, to submit work for consideration for its “Contemporary Art / Taos 2020” exhibition. The process gave Taos artists the opportunity to have curators and art experts from outside of New Mexico review their work. This rigorous juried process resulted in the selection of 24 Taos artists whose work will be presented by the Harwood Museum of Art this summer and be on view through spring 2021.
