Celebrate Indigenous Heritage Month at the Museum with musical artist Adrian Wall, an award-winning musician, producer, and visual artist from New Mexico. As an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Jemez, Wall uses his music as a platform to express his love of music and cultural identity. Wall will fill the galleries with songs from his guitar and traditional flute.

The Museum is also hosting special guests Axle Contemporary and Art to G.O. Artist in Residence Brian Fleetwood for a collection event to support Fleetwood’s upcoming project creating wearable art from single-use plastics. Attendees are asked to bring single-use plastics and participate in the creative process, fostering collaboration and sustainability with an emphasis on the transformative power of collective imagination and shared vision. Brian Fleetwood is a multifaceted artist, a faculty member at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), and a proud member of the Muscogee Creek Nation.

Upcoming Events

Abstract watercolor of a small adobe building which was used as a studio. The picture plane is divided into three separate organic shaped geometric elements; a fluid swash of green ground on which the adobe structure sits and a large transparent wash of blue surrounding the building as the sky. The studio itself is softened rectangle shape of transparent yellow which reveals, to the left, a brown feathered watercolor bleed as the doorway.

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.
