Family Day: Happy Birthday, Art to G.O.! 

Join us to celebrate two years of our art truck by bringing the whole family together to enjoy a variety of hands-on artmaking, creative activities, and story time. During your visit, you can also stop by the new Art to G.O. mobile artist-in-residence exhibition (hosted by Axel Contemporary), Species Pending.  

Planning to stop by for Family Day? RSVP ahead of time! While registration is not mandatory to attend, registering ahead of time helps us prepare. Thank you for helping us out!

Species Pending is an exhibition reimagining the historical narrative based on the proto-dinosaur Effigia okeeffeae, whose name is a tribute to Georgia O’Keeffe. This animal lived on the ancient continent of Pangea during the late Triassic period and its holotype fossils were found in blocks collected in the 1940s at Ghost Ranch, where O’Keeffe lived and owned a home. 

Animkeewa White Eagle and Jamison Chās Banks, Santa Fe-based artists, collaborated to examine the history of the animal through an Indigenous lens. Using imagery, sculpture, and installation that is reminiscent of archived historical photographs and items, Banks and White Eagle aim to reinterpret how this fossil and animal is presented.
