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!

Watercolor sketch of houses and landscape. There are two houses, the one that is slightly larger is located closer to the left side of the paper, the smaller house is closer to the right side of the paper. The walls of the houses are purple and the roofs are red. The houses are situated slightly above the center of the paper and the front of the paper is dominated by an expanse of light green which fades to yellow as it gets nearer to the houses. In the background, behind the houses, there are dark blue mountains. There is a strip of sky which is white, tinged with blue around the edges of the paper.
