SUMMARY:Opening: In the Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Italu Ramos Hernandez\, the title “In the Shadows” draws on the phrase “living in the shadows\,” a term often used to describe immigrants in the United States. It evokes a state of invisibility\, of existing in silence. The exhibition seeks to reclaim immigrant stories by bringing together works that explore memory\, displacement\, belonging\, and identity beyond political narratives. By centering voices that are too often ignored\, In the Shadows not only humanizes immigrant experiences but challenges broader political ideas of legality\, recognition\, and who is permitted to belong. \nArtists include Carmen Lizardo\, Golnar Adili\, Katie Mongoven\, Ruth Alvarez Luna\, and Sammy Lee. \nJoin us for the opening reception on Thursday\, August 20th from 6-8pm. The curator and many exhibiting artists will be in attendance. In the Shadows will be on view at Union Hall through October 3 with open gallery hours Wednesday through Saturday from 12-6pm. \nIn The Shadows is the third and final exhibition in Union Hall’s 2026 Rough Gems series. Rough Gems is Union Hall’s annual open call and collaborative curatorial program. Each year three curator/curatorial teams are selected to showcase an original and innovative exhibition in our gallery. With Rough Gems\, Union Hall hopes to impact the lives of emerging artists and curators with a platform for exhibition that is inclusive\, supportive\, and committed to the artists we serve by paying them for exhibitions and performances.

SUMMARY:Opening: Francisco Mayor Maestre: Las cosas simples las devora el tiempo
(Simple things are devoured by time)
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the rigid lines of urban planning lies a world pulsing with hidden life. In this exhibition\, Francisco Mayor Maestre invites us to look past the uniform windows and steady facades of the modern city to discover the vibrant\, rebellious spirit thriving within. \nMaestre transforms the quiet surfaces of the everyday into a playground of possibility. Through a masterful blend of precise architecture and spontaneous bursts of color\, his canvases capture the moment where human creativity breaks through. Every splash of paint and layered collage turns cold structures into warm\, living landscapes. It is a celebration of the “accidental beauty” we create just by existing—a reminder that even in the most structured environments\, the human soul remains uncontainable and brilliantly alive.

SUMMARY:Opening: Home Again
DESCRIPTION:SANTA FE\, NM — The Historic Santa Fe Foundation (HSFF) is pleased to present Home Again\, a new exhibition of works by artist Jesse Blanchard exploring themes of belonging\, seasonal transition\, and local place through expressive architectural and landscape paintings. The exhibition opens at the Gallery at El Zaguán\, located at 545 Canyon Road\, on Friday\, August 28\, 2026\, and remains on view through September 19\, 2026. \nIn Home Again\, Blanchard draws clear visual parallels between his roots in Vermont and his deep-seated life in New Mexico. Through rich color palettes of blue\, ochre\, stone\, and seasonal foliage\, the collection captures the distinct rhythms of Santa Fe—from crisp autumn light and quiet winter mornings to the vibrant warmth of community gatherings in historic neighborhoods. \nHaving exhibited across the country and internationally since the late 1990s\, including regional representation at local Santa Fe galleries such as LewAllen Contemporary and Selby Fleetwood Gallery\, Blanchard brings a seasoned eye and fine-art background to El Zaguán. His work offers an intimate view of Santa Fe’s historic structures\, outdoor light\, and diverse cultural community. \n“To live within this community and capture its spirit in architecture and landscape is a true privilege\,” notes Blanchard. “Santa Fe’s history encompasses so many cultures and stories. This collection reflects my own journey\, the love of home\, and the shared seasons that connect us all.” \nContact: Anne Kelly at anne@historicsantafe.org or call 505.983.2567 for more information.

SUMMARY:Opening: Viewing the World Through a Different Lens by Scott Ernst
DESCRIPTION:As the owner of Southwest Scanning\, Scott Ernst documents heritage as well as contemporary buildings using several 3D Digital Documentation technologies which allow him to capture virtual replicas of structures and bring them back to the office. The typical goal is to use these models to generate as-built drawings for restoration\, adaptive reuse\, or engineering analysis. Creating these drawings involves working with the models in different software packages\, clipping them into segments to isolate particular areas in the models and view them in different ways. \nOver the years\, Scott has found that there is beauty to be found and and there are stories to be told about the history of the buildings within those scans. From incidental portraits and timelines of cultural changes\, deterioration and rebirth; to abstract washes of color\, this exhibit will show some of these hidden stories.

SUMMARY:Opening: Reid Richardson: Light Seeker
DESCRIPTION:Globe Fine Art is delighted to showcase the latest works of painter Reid Richardson. A native of Tempe\, AZ\, Richardson captures the exquisite beauty of nature and longing in Light Seeker. \n“Light Seeker explores light as the fundamental force that gives life\, inspires growth\, and guides movement through the world. Trees become a metaphor for the human experience—rooted in the earth yet constantly reaching upward toward the sun.\nBeneath the canopy\, the viewer looks upward through the branches as they stretch toward the light\, creating a natural pathway between earth and sky. Trees are remarkably adaptable\, changing their direction and finding new paths toward the light that sustains them. Their persistence reflects our own ability to adjust and endure. \nThrough trees\, clouds\, water\, and open skies\, the work reflects on resilience\, hope\, and renewal. Even in darkness\, trees continue to reach toward the light\, adapting and growing in whatever direction allows them to thrive. Light Seeker invites the viewer to pause\, look upward\, and consider the light in their own life. It is a meditation on perseverance and positivity\, reminding us that even when the path is difficult\, there is always a reason to keep growing toward the light.” \n–Reid Richardson

SUMMARY:Blue Heartstrings
DESCRIPTION:Archway Gallery is pleased to present Blue Heartstrings\, an exhibit featuring new paintings by Katherine Rodgers—on view September 5 through October 1\, 2026. This exhibit features watercolor works of mammals\, birds\, and fish\, painted mostly in blue. Rodgers is donating a portion of the proceeds to the nonprofit organization\, HeartGift\, which brings children from around the world to the United States where they are provided life-saving surgery to correct congenital heart defects. Attend the opening reception Saturday\, September 12\, 5 to 8 p.m.\, when guests can meet the artist and enjoy the artist’s talk starting at 6:30 p.m. \nRodgers is dedicating her show to her sister\, Laura\, who was born in 1972 with a condition called tetralogy of fallot. One of the first babies to be operated on by Dr. Denton Cooley in Houston\, sadly she passed away after the surgery at the age of almost three. But her short life left an impact on her family. Trying to understand her death led Rodgers to study medicine and become a nurse. Babies with heart defects are often referred to “blue babies” due to poor blood perfusion that happens when the heart does not pump properly. “Therefore\,” explains Rodgers\, “in Laura’s memory\, I am painting a gallery-worth of animals mostly in blue and calling the show Blue Heartstrings.“ \nPredominantly a self-taught painter\, Rodgers’ work is deeply inspired by nature and the world around her. Since returning to Houston in 2022\, she has devoted herself to teaching watercolor to students of all levels at the Watercolor Art Society of Houston. Visit archwaygallery.com to learn more about the artist and her upcoming show.

SUMMARY:Eliza Lutz: All the Lives Alive Inside Me
DESCRIPTION:For printmaker and fiber artist Eliza Lutz\, the work of caregiving is a legacy made visible through the material traces it leaves behind – a quilt\, an apron\, a handwritten note. Merging printmaking and fiber art\, their upcoming show traces the shape and texture of carework as it has unfolded across the artist’s lifetime. Through embroidered prints on paper and quilted portraits assembled from loved ones’ clothes\, these works chronicle the giving and receiving of care in all its many forms\, from child rearing to elder care\, from domestic arts to community organizing. \nThis body of work was conceived of and created during a period of immense transition in the artist’s life – after years of caretaking for three aging family matriarchs\, all unexpectedly passed away within five months of each other. Over the following year\, as Lutz and their partner navigated grief and sorted through the physical remnants of their lives\, they found themselves at a crossroads – and\, with more time and capacity at their disposal\, they decided to enter a new chapter of caregiving by becoming parents themselves. “Now pregnant with our first child\, I have become more deeply rooted in this lineage of carework than ever before\, an embodiment of the lives\, care\, and labor\, I carry within me\,” Lutz says.

SUMMARY:Opening: b. Brown: Borrowed Stardust
DESCRIPTION:B. brown’s studio practice has always been one that explores the charged tension between paired opposites: discipline and rule-breaking\, methodology and abandon\, refinement and elaboration. Her formal explorations are a constant cycle of searching\, questioning\, and learning\, spurred on by a fascination with the limits and possibilities of the medium of clay. \nThis exhibition expands on brown’s larger thematic explorations of the concepts of constriction\, contortion\, and destabilization. In creating this body of work\, the artist says that she set out to loosen up\, get more gestural\, and be open to more spontaneity in her process — yet she notes that\, ironically\, “the resultant pieces are\, perhaps\, the most constructed works I’ve ever produced; requiring cognition and planning within the confines of the exploration that didn’t allow for much deviation once begun.” \nThis series of hand-built pieces was created with low-temperature\, white sculpture bodies\, and represent a departure from brown’s typical practice in their hyper-constructed and less organic presentation. And though the works were built simultaneously\, they evolved into two distinct patterns. \nThough the pieces featured in this show stemmed from a material and technique-driven curiosity\, during the process of creation\, they took on a life of their own. brown’s works often develop in dialogue with one another\, and this show is no exception. “An awareness emerged halfway through their production of a subconscious conversation undergirding the juxtaposition of the A-B thematics – that of loss and grief\,” brown explains. “I very much see the pieces as partnered\, and find it interesting that they asked to be born at the same time rather than showing up as separate shows.”

See You There; Magdalena; Splendora Drawings; and Vienna Drawings. \nAltered States: a collection of 242 drawings made 2016-2019\, based on photographs taken while driving a route determined by American towns with evocative names\, suggestive of utopian ideals\, idealized pasts\, mythical futures\, downers\, reckonings\, false hopes\, every day aspirations\, states less defined\, offering a spectrum of emotions and conditions which float in a country of association. Those included here are all from 2018-2019. \nYour Nowhere is My Somewhere. See You There: a set of 40 drawings made in 2016-2017\, based on sites in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico\, half of them made at Chinati Hot Springs.
