SUMMARY:Workshop: Mindful Making: Creating Wet-Felted Vessels
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Santa Fe Foundation is excited to present a one-day Wet-Felting workshop with Andrea Dupree. \nMindful Making: Creating Wet-Felted Vessels \nSaturday\, May 23\, 2026\, 1–4pm \n$125 (includes materials) \nJoin artist and educator Andrea Dupree for a hands-on wet felting workshop that blends fiber art techniques with mindfulness practices and creative exploration. Participants will learn to make wool vessels using water\, natural soap and wool. Wet felting is an ancient fiber art technique that transforms loose fibers\, such as wool\, into a dense\, durable\, non-woven fabric. \nThe class begins with a short grounding practice to help participants attune to breath\, body\, and materials. Throughout the session\, Andrea will guide you through the wet-felting process to create hollow vessels. We’ll explore the rich sensory elements of these materials and engage in a slow\, thoughtful process that honors the meditative nature of felting. \nNo prior experience is needed\, and all materials are provided. Come ready to work with your hands and leave with a one-of-a-kind felted vessel and a deeper connection to fiber and form. \nBio: \nAndrea Dupree is an eco-artist and educator based in the Pojoaque Valley. Her fiber-based artwork explores themes of interconnectedness and ecological attunement\, primarily using hand felting\, embroidery\, found\, and natural materials. With a background in Studio Arts (BFA) and Reggio-inspired Early Childhood Education (MA)\, Andrea is also a Registered Yoga Teacher who brings over 20 years of experience teaching art\, mindfulness\, and movement. Learn more about her work here: bluebird-art.com or instagram @andreadupree \nThe workshop will be held at El Zaguán\, located at 545 Canyon Road\, Santa Fe\, NM 87501. For more information\, please contact Anne Kelly at anne@historicsantafe.org.

SUMMARY:Reception & Artist Talk: Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future
DESCRIPTION:What will remain of care\, labor\, and memory in one-hundred years? Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future envisions a speculative archive where acts of nurturing\, witnessing\, and transformation persist beyond a century. This exhibition builds upon my interdisciplinary practice in printmaking\, digital media\, and community-engaged art to examine how personal and collective histories are carried forward—through objects\, ritual\, and the evolving role of women as vessels of survival and connection. The works presented are a synthesis of print-based installation\, textile works\, and experimental digital media\, creating a bridge between past and future. In this imagined future\, what we make and leave behind—both tangible and intangible—holds the imprint of care. Through layered prints on fabric\, interactive digital pieces\, and a participatory community element\, this exhibition explores themes of sustenance\, resilience\, and remembrance as they shape a future landscape.

SUMMARY:Curator Talk: Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 16\, 2026\, from 2–3 p.m. for a curator talk about Lucid Perturbations and the sewn works of China Marks\, featuring gallery director Carina Evangelista and longtime friend of China Marks\, Pamela Matsuda-Dunn\, also an artist. Evangelista and Matsuda-Dunn will lead us through Marks’s unorthodox sewn multiverse of allegory\, dark humor\, and wit\, offering insights into what possessed Marks to produce\, with singular focus\, over 600 sewn tableaux in the last twenty-three years of her art practice. \nEvangelista and Matsuda-Dunn will also share how Lucid Perturbations came to be; the artists’ cache of references for the largely allegorical works; and the process behind the artist’s sewn oeuvre. A rare opportunity to gain insight into the world of an unsung artist’s life and practice\, this conversation accompanies China Marks’s largest solo exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Roger Evans: Fun\, Fantasy and Frivolity
DESCRIPTION:Wild Hearts Gallery in Placitas invites the public to a reception on May 16\, 1–3 pm to meet Roger Evans and talk about his show: Fun\, Fantasy and Frivolity\, Exhibit runs from April 28–May 31\, 2026. \nFun\, Fantasy and Frivolity is pure unfiltered Roger Evans. While comical on the surface\, the works explore the connection between memory and experience—between reality and fantasy—ranging from the absurd to the familiar. They include outdoor sculptures\, paintings full of texture and color\, a mosaic\, a book and a collection of prints and drawings. They are a culmination of all that he has experienced in his life; his memories\, dreams and perceptions\, woven into narratives that are full of humor. \nRoger was already forty when he came to Placitas in the early 70s. He was not part of the hippy movement\, though he admits to being inspired by them. He purchased land in the forest off Tunnel Springs Road where he continues to live in a domed house—just seven hundred square feet of living space plus a two-hundred-foot loft for sleeping—tiled in mosaic with animal sculptures at every turn. One can’t help but marvel at his talent for remaining positive in an uncertain world—all while having the last laugh. \n“Someone asked\, What would you call this art? And I thought about that. I guess I would call it contemporary folk art.” \nWild Hearts Gallery is an artists’ collective\, supported by fourteen local artists. Located at 221-B State Highway 165\, the gallery is open Tuesday–Friday from 10:00 am. to 4:00 pm.\, Saturday-Sunday from 10:00 am. to 2:00 pm. Take a visual tour of monthly exhibits in the gallery at wildheartsgallery.com.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Bound by the High Desert: Contemporary Fiber Art
DESCRIPTION:Historic Santa Fe Foundation (HSFF) presents Bound by the High Desert: Contemporary Fiber Art\, opening May 15\, 2026\, at El Zaguán. The exhibition features New Mexico-based artists who transform local materials and time-honored wisdom into modern forms. These artists employ enduring hand-craft traditions\, ensuring that regional fiber arts remain a vibrant\, living practice today. \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nThe works in Bound by the High Desert represent a diversity of makers who utilize traditional techniques. While the artworks in this exhibition are contemporary\, they serve as echoes of the past\, drawing on heritage crafts born of utilitarian necessity. Today\, these artists find new freedom to explore fiber as a medium for fine art\, looking back at material and process while also looking forward. \nBy showcasing these tactile\, handmade works against the 1854 handmade adobe walls of the El Zaguán compound\, Historic Santa Fe Foundation celebrates the evolution of these traditions. This exhibition is a testament to how preservation and artistic creation work together to keep our shared cultural heritage alive. \nFeatured Artists: \nNancy Kozikowsk\nPando Speer and Dain Daller (The Warp Zone)\nBenita Ortega-Rael\nAndrea Dupree \nRead more here https://www.historicsantafe.org/fiberart \nContact: Anne Kelly at anne@historicsantafe.org or call 505.983.2567 for more information.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 15 May 2026 from 5 to 7 p.m. for part two of the opening reception of Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks\, an exhibition of over 200 sewn tableaux by China Marks. Featuring a total of 147 yards of fabric\, a length nearly one and a half times the height of the Statue of Liberty\, this monographic exhibition is installed in the gallery’s 5\,000 square feet of exhibition space\, weaving a tapestry that records a quarter century of an unsung artist’s singular vision and consuming passion for drawing with the sewn line. \nAlthough once lauded by The New York Times arts writer Grace Glueck for the bravura of her avant-garde sewn work\, Marks has remained largely under the radar. Lucid Perturbations presents to the public\, for the first time\, the broadest survey of the psychological nooks and crevices of Marks’s sewn multiverse in all of its dark humor\, aporia\, and wit.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Guadalupe Street Feature: Helen K. Tindel
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, May 8th from 5–7pm \nIn her upcoming exhibition\, Helen Tindel approaches painting as an act of surrender rather than control. Rooted in lineage and a deep connection to place\, her work unfolds intuitively\, unplanned\, unforced\, and guided by an internal knowing rather than external expectation. Each piece emerges as part of a continuous\, living practice\, where color\, form\, and movement arise organically. Tindel does not seek to direct interpretation; instead\, she releases the work into the world\, allowing each viewer to bring their own meaning to what is felt\, seen\, and experienced.
