Join us for extended hours at the Museum on the First Friday of every month! Admission is free from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.

Kick off Women’s History Month at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum! Deborah Blanche will present a Chautauqua performance of Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren, a New Mexican educator, early feminist and suffragist, public welfare director, political leader, author, and businesswoman. In 2022, Otero-Warren was one of the first women on a United States coin recognized through the American Women Quarter Program, which recognized what can be possible with determination, perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of American Women. Otero-Warren was also a longtime resident of “La Casa Grande” or “The Big House”, a historic building on Grant Avenue that now houses the Museum’s Research Center and The Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Library and Archive.  

A Chautauqua program presents a historical figure’s life after thorough research, dramatized for a live audience. Blanche’s presentation will take shape as a short play with spaces allowed for the audience to interact with the characters informally in a question-and-answer dialogue.

Learn more about Nina Otero-Warren, “The Big House”, and more on the Museum’s website!
