Waiting for Rain

Waiting for Rain centers on the New Mexico summer and the long stretch of heat before the monsoon arrives. Artists are encouraged to submit functional and sculptural work that reflects water, cooling, and relief—through color, surface, and form. Consider palettes of blues, grays, and storm-toned neutrals; surfaces that suggest pooling, dripping, erosion, or repair; and objects meant for daily use during the hottest months.

Wild Creatures
August 7 - October 31
Wild Creatures is an exhibition centered on the animals we share our world with—seen and unseen, familiar and strange. From backyard birds and desert dwellers to imagined beasts and remembered companions, this show invites artists to consider animals not as symbols or decorations, but as living beings with their own presence, habits, and agency.
Artists are encouraged to explore form, surface, and function through the lens of animal life: vessels shaped by instinct, textures that echo fur, feather, or scale, and utilitarian objects that quietly honor the creatures woven into our daily lives. Works may be literal or interpretive, playful or reverent, grounded in observation or guided by empathy.
