First Friday

  • Friday, October 6
  • 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM MT
  • Santa Fe, NM

Prepare for the eclipse and enjoy extended hours and free admission from 5-7 PM!

Santa Fe has the best seat in the house for the upcoming annular solar eclipse. Get prepared at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum by creating O’Keeffe-inspired eclipse viewing glasses. Guests are invited to take blank viewing glasses and create O’Keeffe-inspired specs so they can “take time to look,” as the artist encouraged. Free spotlight tours of O’Keeffe’s works featuring the moon and night skies will also be offered in the galleries from 5 – 7 PM.

Viewing glasses are available for the first 250 visitors while supplies last.

Admission is free for New Mexico residents all day and free for all from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM!

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

First Friday partners include:

Victory Gallery
New Mexico Museum Foundation Shops

Much of this small painting is occupied by a large tan clam shell. The shell seems to be partially open, and it offers a glimpse inside along its upper edge. The shell's hinge lies near the right side of the work. Branches of seaweed swirl behind the shell along the upper edge of the painting.
