New Mexico Artists Around the Kitchen Table

New Mexico Artists Around the Kitchen Table
October 14, 2023–January 24, 2024

New Mexico Artists Around the Kitchen Table offers the community an exhibition and program series featuring more than twenty New Mexico artists that grounds artistic mentorship in families and social circles as a sustainable cycle of legacy and stability. Offering a firm foothold in the creative economy, artistic practices are passed on at kitchen tables–whether in a kitchen, in a classroom, in a yard, or at a church. The kitchen table takes form anywhere and everywhere as a meeting place and a place of learning, observation, exchange, and storytelling. It becomes the glue that gives meaning to artistic legacies that emerge from mentorships, friendships, families, and loved ones. The exhibition and program series is supported by a National Endowment for the Arts Challenge grant and guest-curated by Michelle Lanteri. Open daily through October 31. Please check the museum’s website for winter hours (November-March). General admission is fifteen dollars; Taos County residents are free on Sundays; veterans, members, and children twelve and under are free daily.
