Visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Art & Leadership End-of-Summer Art Exhibition and enjoy First Friday activities!

The Art & Leadership Exhibition celebrates the work created by young artists throughout the summer. Art & Leadership is the Museum’s educational program that promotes the development of self-confidence, self-esteem, leadership skills, and self-expression in middle school students.

After checking out the exhibition, create your own O’Keeffe-inspired sculpture with Tumbleroot Pottery Pub at the Museum. One-pound blocks of air-dry clay will be available for the first 75 First Friday visitors to create their own masterpiece. Spotlight tours of O’Keeffe’s pottery-making tools and sculpture casts on display in the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Making a Life will also be free for First Friday visitors.

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.

Make it an art-filled evening and visit our First Friday partners in downtown Santa Fe.

Upcoming Events

A winding road enters the scene from the base of the canvas in the center. It curves to the right before weaving off into the distance to the left. A large, light-colored mesa rises from the right side of the work, its hills sloping down towards the left. Several trees dot the landscape in the foreground, and the sky appears hazy.
