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!

Upcoming Events

O'Keeffe describes this painting as " just the arms of two red hills reaching out to the sky holding it." This painting can be viewed as an organic abstraction contemplating the intersection of an expansive flat of blue sky and the V shape of the sandy red hills below.
