Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. Based in the Southwest region, Arrowsoul Art Collective creates graffiti walls and mural paintings inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation. Located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery, their newest mural will be on display through June 28, 2026.

BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD is an abstract art exhibit that challenges the artists to transcend logic and language, reaching straight into our emotions and imagination. By focusing on form and feeling, it opens a space of freedom that representational art cannot always offer. It invites us inward—not to question what it is, but to wonder how it moves us. Exhibited art is submitted by ALBUQUERQUE ABSTRACT ARTISTS ALLIANCE.

Opening reception is January 22, 2026. 5 - 7PM

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’ creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.

Pursuit of Happiness: Gi Bill in Taos refocuses the story of post-World War II artistic movements by highlighting those artists working, communing, and connecting in Taos from 1945 onward. These artists founded the next great wave of abstraction that took root in the region, bringing their vast creativity and international connections to the community. Highlighting works from Harwood Museum of Art’s permanent collection and sourcing significant loans regionally and nationally, this exhibition tells the story of how Taos contributed to conversations and explorations in the national art scene during the post-World War II period.

On Saturday February 21st at 1:00 pm, the Chinese Culture Center welcomes in the Year of the Fire Horse with its 36th annual Chinese New Year demonstration of traditional Chinese martial arts and culture. Students from Lin's Martial Arts Academy--including our kids’ team--will perform examples of Chinese martial arts as well as other popular Chinese performance arts, including ribbon dancing, lion dancing and dragon dancing. In addition, the Albuquerque Chinese Folk Dance Ensemble will present three classic Chinese folk dances. The dragon brings rain while the lions’ role is to ward off evil spirits. The show will culminate in the burning of a traditional long string of firecrackers and the “Feeding of the Lions.
On top of all that, the Umami Moto Food Truck will be present to satisfy your hunger. The show is free and held outdoors, rain or shine.
Don’t miss this spectacular show staged in front of the school’s unique three-story pagoda. Parking is available along nearby streets. 300 chairs
will be provided--come early to get a good seat!
In 2024, the Chinese Culture Center became a 501(c3) non-profit organization.

Add some extra bling to your collection and create your own bracelet with found objects that we'll turn into charms with wire wrapping techniques. Inspired by Georgina Treviño's artwork seen in Greetings From Tijuana, participants will use chains, pliers, wire, to turn their knick-knacks into sculptural jewelry. Bring keychains, your favorite rocks, or earrings with no pair. What can you create the spare items from a junk drawer?

Chain, wire, and tools will be supplied by the UAM, but please bring your own objects to turn into charms. This workshop is free and open to all ages. Adult supervision is recommended for young children.
