Events at this location

As part of the special exhibition Debbie Long: Light Ships, up to three people at a time may experience one-hour immersive viewings of Willa, a chamber of light and glass installed inside a 1970s RV. The viewings are an opportunity to disconnect from devices so that you may awaken to the natural rhythms of the sky and subtle play of light through the lens of Willa.

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your entry time and reserve an additional hour to view the rest of the exhibition and Harwood collections. The Willa viewing experience is included with admission, which must be paid upon arrival at the museum.

It is the artist’s intention that this be an unmediated experience without the disruption of cameras or cellphones. Photography is not permitted, and we ask that you silence all devices during the viewings

We invite you to bring just yourself to the Willa viewings. The interior space is small, so all bags and other personal belongings must be left in the secured lockers inside the museum. Everyone must remove their shoes, and we ask that you remain seated. Please explore the fragile glass sculptures with your eyes and not your hands. Thank you for respecting these guidelines to create an immersive, embodied experience for all.

Join us for an insightful journey into exhibition curation as Tia Collection Curator Laura Finlay Smith and Curator MaLin Wilson-Powell discuss how they selected the spectacular works of art comprising New Beginnings: An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West. This exhibit features over 120 artworks inspired by New Mexico, dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century when Taos and Santa Fe were two of the nation’s most important art centers.  The evening’s conversation will stretch beyond the canvas, highlighting stories behind the works of art. This event will be moderated by the Harwood Museum’s Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Nicole Dial-Kay.

MaLin Wilson-Powell is an independent writer and curator, active in the art world since 1972. As Curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe (1977-78); assistant to photo-historian and McArthur Fellow Beaumont Newhall (1980-85); Director of the Jonson Gallery (1985-1989), then the contemporary branch of the University Art Museum, University of New Mexico (1985-89); and, the first Curator of Exhibitions and Curator of Art after 1945 at the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio (1999-2004), her orientation has always been to encourage engagement with the arts audience as a public intellectual. She has curated over twenty-five exhibitions with publications; written over three hundred articles, and edited two collections of art criticism: The Hydrogen Juke Box: Selected Writings of Peter Schjeldahl (1991; and Last Chance for Eden: Selected Art Criticism by Christopher Knight, 1979 -1993 (1995).
