SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Shane Tolbert\, Town & Country
DESCRIPTION:In Town & Country\, Shane Tolbert presents a new body of paintings and collages that unfold through layering\, interruption\, and revision. The works are built from poured acrylic\, collage fragments\, masking\, and drawn interventions. These elements accumulate decisions over time. Earlier gestures remain partially visible beneath later ones. Each surface carries the sediment of its own making. \nTolbert’s use of plastic sheeting introduces moments of decollage. Poured paint is first cast onto plastic\, then lifted and transferred onto the canvas. There\, it behaves like a displaced skin. These passages interrupt the surface and preserve earlier states. This creates a tension between adhesion and removal\, image and residue. \nPainter’s tape is applied\, painted over\, removed\, and sometimes retraced. It moves through the paintings like a temporary scaffold. These linear traces often appear late in the process. They map structure across fields of volatile color and gesture. What begins as improvisation gradually suggests architecture. Then\, it loosens again into atmosphere and movement. \nThe title Town & Country hints at the shifting boundary between the constructed and the open. In Tolbert’s work\, diagrammatic lines drift across painterly weather. Blocks of color behave like structures one moment and eroding terrain the next. \nA parallel practice of walking informs the work. Fragments encountered along the way—packaging\, images\, and remnants of daily life—enter the collages and sometimes the paintings. These found elements and photographs quietly anchor the work in lived experience. Observation and movement through the world become part of the studio process. \nTolbert’s paintings do not depict that world. They operate with the same logic—layered\, provisional\, and constantly revised. Meaning accumulates through time rather than arriving all at once.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, Mosaics: Into the Light
DESCRIPTION:Reception with the artist on Fri\, April 10th from 5pm-8pm. \nArtist Bio\nKristin Javier is perhaps an unlikely artist. Born in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky\, her childhood was shaped by life outdoors—hiking wooded hills\, racing barefoot through grass\, and searching creek beds for fossils alongside her five siblings. \nHer path led her to the University of New Mexico\, where she studied education and Spanish and Italian translation. Though she once felt rooted in the Land of Enchantment\, life eventually called her back East. After decades away\, she has returned to New Mexico\, completing a full-circle journey to the place that first inspired her. \nBetween 2017 and 2018\, while raising two daughters\, a life-altering brain infection forced her to rebuild her life step by step. During this difficult recovery\, she discovered the healing power of art. With support from family\, friends\, and a vibrant creative community\, she has committed to a daily mosaic practice for the past six years. A devoted student of the medium\, Kristin continues to explore what she has yet to understand\, guided by faith and the belief that every person carries a unique light. \nToday\, she divides her time between Northern New Mexico’s high desert and New York’s Hudson Valley\, weaving both landscapes into her work. \nArtist Statement\nI speak in dialects of brokenness and light; mosaic becomes a metaphor for restoration. My practice is a dialogue between vision\, hammer\, and stone\, rooted in ancient methods. \nEach tessera is shaped by hand using a carbide-tipped hammer and hardie. Set into tinted thinset\, every fragment stands as its own sculpture\, reflecting\, refracting\, or absorbing light. \nTrained in Ravenna\, Italy\, and Chicago\, my work explores the mystical and embodies resilience—each piece a step toward healing and light.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Raices in Color: New Paintings by Alejandra Montano
DESCRIPTION:Faust Gallery is pleased to present Raíces en Color\, a new exhibition by Tucson-based artist Alejandra Montaño\, opening Thursday\, April 9 with a reception from 6 to 9 PM at the gallery in Old Town Scottsdale. The exhibition celebrates Montaño’s deeply personal visual language—one shaped by family history\, Mexican cultural traditions\, and the vibrant landscapes of the American Southwest. \nRaíces en Color—which translates to “Roots in Color”—explores identity\, memory\, and heritage through Montaño’s unmistakable use of bold color and expressive brushwork. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing and cultural heritage\, the artist creates paintings that are both intimate and exuberant\, weaving together symbols\, figures\, and scenes that reflect the rhythms of everyday life and the enduring influence of family and place. \n“I paint what I come from—my culture\, my family\, and the memories that stay with me\,” says Montaño. “It has always been part of my life. It’s how I make sense of things\, and how I keep my family’s legacy alive.”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: PHANTOM LIMB
DESCRIPTION:Harman-Parrish Atelier is proud to present Phantom Limb\, an exhibition of sculpture and works on paper by Dallas artists Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier Edward Carter. On view from April 9\, 2026 through April 23\, 2026\, the exhibition brings together two dynamic bodies of expressive work united by a shared inquiry into the human body and the natural world. \nThe exhibition’s title and works evoke a simultaneous familiarity and distance—to the body\, to nature\, to form—expressed through material\, color\, and abstraction. Cycles of loss\, gain\, estrangement\, intimacy\, manufacture\, and regeneration converge in these works\, inviting viewers into a space where the physical and the phantom are held in careful tension.

SUMMARY:Concert: Christian McBride & Edgar Meyer
DESCRIPTION:The meeting of great minds usually happens behind closed doors\, but for two of the world’s foremost bassists—Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer—the collaboration proved so fruitful that a duo album\, But Who’s Gonna Play the Melody?\, exploring their collective backgrounds\, was born. \nNow the duo is hitting the road\, and we can’t wait to present them at the Lensic. The legendary bassists will meld McBride’s jazz and R&B fusion with Meyer’s bluegrass and classical sensibilities for what is sure to be an unforgettable performance of new compositions and timeless American standards.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Signal And Response
DESCRIPTION:RULE Gallery presents: Signal and Return\, two concurrent solo exhibitions featuring paintings by Joe Clower (1937–2024) and Polaroid works by the artist collaborative El Disco. Installed in adjacent galleries\, the exhibition explores the image as both instrument and event—simultaneously a signal transmitted outward and an encounter received in return. \nJoe Clower’s independent studio practice developed a visual language shaped by speculative architecture and idiosyncratic narrative. Working in watercolor and gouache\, Clower constructed scenes in which forms hover between assembly and invention. Drawing from classical scientific mechanisms\, comic-book imagery\, and a distinctly Western horizon\, his paintings compile improbable architectures and symbolic objects into systems of relation. Coils spiral around antennae\, forms extend atop plinths\, and structures appear poised as if awaiting transmission—suggesting environments where tension\, speculation\, and narrative coexist without assumed interpretation. \nIn parallel\, the exhibition presents a focused selection of Polaroids from El Disco’s expansive archive\, produced throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by observed phenomena\, El Disco formed in 1987 as a three-artist collaborative between Joe Clower\, Steve Thomsen\, and Michael Davey (Tennyson Woodbridge). More than documenting unusual objects in the sky\, El Disco’s Polaroids record the invisible tensions between belief\, environment\, and image\, blurring the line between witness and interpretation. The Polaroid process itself\, a chemistry of diffusion\, migration\, and time-released meaning\, echoes the shifting mystery of light and craft across Western horizons. \nTogether\, the two galleries trace an evolving alchemy of meaning and belief\, asking how both continue to reshape evidence long after the initial moment of exposure.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Art Salon (formerly Lydia Street Gallery) presents “Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.” Billie Clarke\, Samir Faris\, Karim B. Hamid\, Monika Hardy\, William P. \nImmer April 3-May 17\, 2026 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, April 3rd\, 6-9 pm \ntwo faced. three faced. four faced. five.\n“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose\nBy any other word would smell as sweet.\nSo Romeo would\, were he not Romeo called\,\nRetain that dear perfection which he owes\nWithout that title. Romeo\, doff thy name\,\nAnd\, for thy name\, which is no part of thee\,\nTake all myself.” William Shakespeare / Romeo & Juliet\, Act 2\, scene 2 / circa 1595 \nIn the famous Shakespearean play ‘Romeo & Juliet’\, Juliet is not allowed to associate with Romeo because he is a Montague. If he had any other name it would be fine. But\, he doesn’t. She’s complaining that his name is meaningless. If the rose had any other name it would still be the same. So with Romeo; he would still be the same beautiful young man even if he had a different name. So\, as Juliet says: What IS in a name? Why is it so important to have a name? What do we associate with a name? Name’s are commonly known as associators. They are a way in which we\, as humans\, can define someone as other. Therefore\, we can determine a lot through a name. Of course\, we can associate it. But\, we can also control an identity to a certain extent. We can limit. We can arrange our thoughts and actions. We can also restrict ourselves. Why is it so important that we limit ourselves to a single name or identity? What is it about us that we allow ourselves to restrict ourselves to one identity?

SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, HALEY GREENFEATHER ENGLISH: A HEAVY BIRDEN
DESCRIPTION:Greenfeather English is an artist of Red Lake and Turtle Mountain Ojibwe heritage known for her playful portraits and bold\, lively color palette. She was born and raised in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, and earned her Bachelor’s of Fine Art at the Institute of American Indian Arts in 2018\, where she honed her skills in painting and printmaking and developed an artistic practice inspired by keen observation\, personal stories\, and memory\, challenging conventional understandings of reality influenced by western cultural perspectives. \nIn the artist’s own words\, A Heavy Birden is a show about long drives\, whimsy\, nostalgia\, love\, shadows\, clowns\, grief\, and birds. This unexpected assortment of concepts is characteristic of Greenfeather English’s practice—she is known for crafting startling juxtapositions that shift perceptions of the worlds she renders\, and of the tangible realities of day-to-day life. And while each element might seem discrete\, each plays an integral role in conjuring Greenfeather English’s world—one where whimsy and humor serve as teachers. \nWhen she’s not making art\, Greenfeather English can be found teaching children\, who\, she says\, have an organic ability to both make and appreciate art\, especially when it comes with a dose of humor. She hopes that her audiences will approach her work in the same way\, with a sense of levity and childlike wonder.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, KATE WOOD: VARIATIONS ON A THEME
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, and now living with her family in a rural mountain village on the High Road to Taos\, Wood is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in painting\, illustration\, and paper mache sculpture. She considers herself a play-based artist\, and her work explores themes of relationship\, family\, body language\, communication\, and the point at which personal experience transcends identity and becomes collective consciousness. Story and artifact are central to her artistic practice\, which employs a cast of glyphs rooted in archetype and mythology to construct visual narratives that invite viewers to find their own stories reflected in the work. \nWood’s work in Variations on a Theme is an expansion of her recent series of paintings\, A really good date I-IV\, which explore the idea of platonic intimacy through a sequence of interactions taking place between two dog-like figures. “I’ve been thematically curious about the bounds and limits of closeness and connection\, and what shape intimacy can take outside the constructs of romantic relationship\,” the artist says. Her new work deepens this original exploration\, isolating five pairs of dogs from the original series to illustrate what can develop from a single interaction. The resulting 26 new paintings rendered in ink and gouache are pattern-based mutations of the original pairing that\, for Wood\, express the infinite potential of human encounter\, relationship\, and love.

SUMMARY:Artist Talks\, Shared Terrain: Art\, Law\, and Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Can art inspire legal reform? Can lawyers embrace art for advocacy? Can artists and lawyers collaborate to protect the environment? This half-day program\, hosted by the UNM School of Law\, seeks to open a dialogue exploring these questions. We’ll hear from painters and sculptors and comic-book makers in conversation with writers and lawyers and law professors. We’ll engage in our own conversations\, forging connections\, imagining new pathways toward protecting and healing our shared terrain.
