SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Mosaics with Kristin Javier
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Javier will have an Artist Talk on Friday\, April 17th\, 2026\, 2pm about her new exhibition Mosaics: Into the Light. Snacks and beverages will be served. \nKristin’s Statement: \n“I speak in dialects of brokenness and light. Mosaic becomes a metaphor for restoration.\nMy practice is a dialogue between the visions in my mind\, the hammer\, and the stone.\nMy process is deeply rooted in ancient methods.\nI ask each tessera to break using only hand tools\, cutting each piece with a carbide tipped hammer and a pitched anvil called a hardie.\nI place each fragment directly into thinset tinted with earth oxides. I allow each shard to stand as its own sculpture\, possessing the power to reflect\, refract\, or absorb light.\nInitially self-taught using broken ceramic shards\, I eventually sought the rigor of Classical training at Studio Arte del Mosaico in Ravenna Italy and The Chicago Mosaic School.\nMy work is an exploration of the mystical\, and a manifestation of the resilience of the human spirit.\nEvery Mosaic created over the past six years represents a step in my healing journey toward the light.”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: LAMP group exhibition
DESCRIPTION:LAMP is a group exhibition rooted in practices of accumulation and adornment. Primarily sculptural\, the works span ceramic\, papier-mâché\, textiles\, and found objects—materials that carry the marks of touch\, use\, and return. The exhibition draws inspiration from the fantastical potential of a bookshelf alcove crowded with knickknacks\, and from the push and pull of a warm light bulb: how it reveals the texture of its shade while allowing everything beyond its beam to slip into shadow. LAMP lingers in this tension—between illumination and obscurity\, excess and intimacy—asking what it means to look again at what we already have. At its core\, LAMP is about making a home. Home here is not fixed\, but a space of continual return. Each return brings something new: an object\, a gesture\, a layer. Through acts of adornment\, familiar things are re-seen and re-translated. Function is rendered implicit; materiality\, charm\, and care emerges energetically. Participating artists include Caroline Perkison\, Emma Rossoff\, Gabrielle Constantine\, Jamie Lerman\, Julia Kunze\, and Magdalena Jarkowiec.

SUMMARY:Concert\, Submerged in Sound: An Asé Aperture Listening Experience
DESCRIPTION:Submerged in Sound is a curated listening experience exploring the Afrofuturist lineage in music\, tracing a sonic path from early innovators to modern bass culture. \nLed by Darrien Williamson of Asé Aperture and creator of Dem Deya Sound featuring Detroit legend Sinistarr\, and hosted by Drexciya: Into the Deep curator Sierra Jeter\, this experience highlights rare and historically significant records and examines how bass\, sound system culture\, Black electronic music and Black musical futurism have shaped global music movements. We’ll also deep dive into records as historical artifacts\, each one a drop in the ocean of Afrofuturism. \nIn Black electronic music cultures and sound\, from house\, techno\, dub\, ghettotech\, footwork\, and other forms\, the dance floor functions as a sacred space. Historically\, Black communities have used dance and music as tools to process and heal trauma\, from slavery to systemic oppression. The dance floor becomes a site of embodied liberation\, allowing for psychological and spiritual restoration. \nThe central theme is sonic legacy—artists creating music to shape a better world for future generations. \nThe program combines: \n– HiFi vinyl listening experience on a handbuilt sound system\n– African diasporic storytelling within the Drexciya: Into the Deep exhibition at Union Hall\n– Expertise\, historical context\, lived experience and commentary from Sinistarr and Darrien Williamson\n– DJ sets by Sinisstarr and Scarien\n– Hosted by Sierra Jeter \nSeating is limited; RSVP in advance! \nTo learn more about Drexciya: Into the Deep visit UnionHallDenver.org/rough-gems-drexciya.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Leah Hardy & Mark Ritchie\, No Man's Land Gallery Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:April 18–May 10\, 2026 \n4870 Agua Fria Street\, Santa Fe\, NM 87507 \nOpening Reception: April 18\, 2:00 PM–6:00 PM\, with music by DJ Pablo 77\nGallery Hours: Flexible Schedule\, call or text Patrick Kikut for appointment\n307-399-5665 \nNo Man’s Land Gallery is pleased to present works by Leah Hardy & Mark Ritchie.\nHardy’s current works are narrative and contemplative in nature\, employing insect-inspired forms which become metaphors for the present human condition. These stories illustrate personal inquiry into social behavior\, ethics\, politics\, and most recently climate concern. Fragmented\, altered with mechanical elements or re-contextualized\, these life forms reference our fascination with mortality and desire with the underlying yearning to connect\, communicate\, and gain insight. These works offer a simple starting point for conversation about our humanity and how to work together to affect change on a local\, national\, and universal level…all beginning with a shared sense of curiosity and wonder. \nRitchie’s most recent works are in drawing\, printmaking\, and artists books. An exploration of wild and domestic plants and animals and a consideration of their position\, and his own\, in Western North America as native\, domestic\, or “naturalized invasive” informs Ritchie’s works. Images are initiated in the field and developed in the studio.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening\, Desert Drift: New Works by Elaine Ritchel
DESCRIPTION:Historic Santa Fe Foundation is pleased to announce Desert Drift\, an exhibition of acrylic and watercolor skyscapes by Santa Fe-based painter\, educator\, and writer Elaine Ritchel. The exhibition will be on view at the Gallery at El Zaguán on Canyon Road. \nExhibition Statement Desert Drift explores ephemerality\, the subtle thresholds between states of being\, and the experience of being held in liminality. The work centers on three elemental subjects—clouds\, the moon\, and the horizon—that embody both continuity and flux. \n“In New Mexico\, the horizon is a constant presence\,” says Ritchel. “I find it fascinating that although we can always see it\, we can never reach it. But in that endless quest\, that perpetual drift\, we are always accompanied by the sky above and the ground below.” \nThis body of work emerged from a deeply personal period of transition for the artist. Through soft layering and loose rendering\, Ritchel captures a sense of “shimmering ether” and shifting light\, allowing her painted clouds to undulate\, breathe\, and dissipate. The result is a series of images that feel soft\, ethereal\, and alive\, inviting viewers to feel immersed and held by the presence of the desert sky. \nAbout the Artist: \nElaine Ritchel is a Santa Fe-based painter\, educator\, and writer. She is currently an artist in residence at El Zaguan. She holds an MA in Art History and has worked as a gallery teacher and guest educator with arts institutions in the US and abroad\, including the UNM Art Museum\, the Blanton Museum of Art\, the New Mexico Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb. Her arts writing has been published in Southwest Contemporary and New Mexico Magazine. \nContact: Anne Kelly at anne@historicsantafe.org or call 505.983.2567 for more information.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening\, Jared Weiss: "“We Don't Know That We Know Where We Are\, We Don't Know That We Know Where We’re Going”
DESCRIPTION:Ellsworth Gallery in collaboration with Curate Santa Fe presents\,\nJared Weiss\, “We Don’t Know That We Know Where We Are\, We Don’t Know That We Know Where We’re Going.” \nThis exhibition of new paintings by the Santa Fe-based artist explores ideas of unknown-knowns; knowledge that we are not consciously aware that we possess. Weiss states\, “I paint familiar people and places as staged\, performative scenes that resist clear narratives. I see my figures as actors on a stage\, performing.” Often\, these scenes resemble a theatrical production transpiring in the deserts of New Mexico. The narratives are open ended\, creating a dialogue between the work and the interpretation of the viewer. Weiss continues\, “I like to think that the figures are positioned between dance\, protest\, and ritual\, attempting to influence social change in their performance. Whether they are successful is something that can’t be answered.” \nGallery hours – Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday from 12pm-6pm.\nOn View 4.17.26-5.29.26 \nJared Weiss\n“Well\, That does Sound Pretty Serious”\nOil on Canvas\n43″ x 63″

SUMMARY:Performance\, Entrapping Our Abundance: A Circus Production Exploring the Southwest's Climate Realities
DESCRIPTION:ENTRAPPING OUR ABUNDANCE is Wise Fool New Mexico’s original production debuting mid-April in Santa Fe. This powerful\, circus-driven performance explores the climate realities of the Southwest through aerial arts\, acrobatics\, and striking visual storytelling. Featuring a cast of professional circus artists and the return of our towering 20ft free-standing aerial truss\, the show brings gravity-defying performance into a story about the landscapes we call home. \nIn our 23+ years of operation\, we have experienced the impact of Social Circus as a powerful agent for social change\, to educate\, and to raise awareness. This circus production will act as a vehicle to communicate the expansiveness of the environmental disruption in the Southwest from massive wildfires\, water shortages\, and the greed for natural resources that continuously infringe on native lands. Be inspired by our stunning cast of aerial performers\, acrobats\, and jugglers as they travel across the beautiful Land of Enchantment and preserve its precious resources.

SUMMARY:Seasonal Brunches: Talk With Your Mouth Full
DESCRIPTION:Talk With Your Mouth Full is a series of artist-led potluck brunches held at Black Cube Headquarters (BCHQ). These seasonal brunches are intended to build community among artists and arts enthusiasts through a shared meal and a communal group activity. Free + open to the public with Eventbrite RSVP. \nEach brunch celebrates one artist from the Denver area. Featured artists shape the shared meal in two ways: by choosing an ingredient for a main dish prepared by a local chef\, and by leading an activity designed to foster conversation and community-building. Bring a dish\, get to know your fellow art world neighbors\, and let an artist guide you through a convivial experience of their design. \nFeatured artists (visit blackcube.art/twymf for all RSVP links):\nApril 12 – Alvin Gregorio\nApril 26 – Esther Hernandez\nMay 3 – Apple Hultz\nMay 17 – Rafael Fajardo

SUMMARY:Performance: Tarrion
DESCRIPTION:Keshet Dance Company New Works presents: Tarrion\, a collaboration between choreographer and Keshet Company Dancer Ana Lopes Aréchiga and Albuquerque-based multimedia composer Zachariah Julian. Tarrion was born from an intense two-week collaborative process during the 2025 Hear Here Festival at Keshet. Left feeling like there was more to explore\, the creators expanded into a full-length standalone work. \nSet on the dancers of Keshet Dance Company\, Tarrion is a visceral experience\, a visually and aurally exquisite evening–length contemporary dance work that explores concepts of humanity\, energy\, forces of nature\, and the essence/experience of inconclusiveness. Tarrion magnifies opportunities to evaluate our connection in and between bodies and spaces. \nJoin us in our idiosyncratic world of Tarrion.
