Description
Explore the rich and varied tapestry that is the arts in New Mexico!
The annual New Mexico Field Guide is a guidebook to all things arts and culture across the Land of Enchantment. Within, you’ll find maps of major arts districts across Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Mesilla, Santa Fe, Taos, Silver City, and Truth or Consequences, and listings of arts and culture businesses, organizations, and more statewide to help you navigate the New Mexico arts community and keep your finger on the pulse.
In our features for this year’s issue, we celebrate artists who are outliers, forging their paths in unconventional, do-it-yourself ways. We begin with a Field Report from a city that’s most known for its UFO-philes, but should be recognized as the cutting-edge contemporary art incubator that it is: Roswell, New Mexico.
We celebrate a couple of significant anniversaries—the 100th burning of Zozobra and the twenty-fifth year of Albuquerque art gallery Exhibit/208.
Part driving tour, part scavenger hunt, we round up the many studio tours that happen each year in New Mexico to really get a sense of what artists and makers are up to. We follow Maida Branch and Johnny Ortiz-Concha as they define their creative practices as an ecosystem based on deep-rooted traditions and connection to and care for the land. Finally, we take a look at the myriad roadside collections, environments of oddities, and “outsider art” one can discover throughout the state—precious but precarious places that reflect the idiosyncrasies of their makers.
