Celebrate Homecoming with the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, UNM Art Museum, and Tamarind Institute, Friday November 5 from 5-7 pm
The Maxwell is partnering with the University of New Mexico Art Museum (UNMAM) and Tamarind Institute to offer extended hours on Friday, November 5th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Join us to reconnect with some of the best resources on campus.
At the Maxwell , visit our permanent exhibitions and three recently opened temporary exhibitions: Heartbreak: A Love Letter to the Lost National Museum of Brazil, Indigenous Women: Border Matters, and From the Headwaters to the Mouth: Additional Amazonian Collections in the Maxwell Museum. You can also visit the Dia de los Muertos Ofrenda in the Maxwell Museum Courtyard and shop at the Maxwell Store where all UNM alumni receive a 20% discount from October 30-November 6.
Then, stop by the UNM Art Museum to view Visionary Modern: Raymond Jonson Trilogies, Cycles, and Portraits, currently on display through November 24, 2021. Jonson’s legacy at the University of New Mexico is threefold: as an educator, a curator, and a living modernist mentor around whom a strong community of artists was built in Albuquerque. His legacy is commemorated through this year’s special edition Homecoming poster, featuring his painting “Red Rocks, Colorado.” View this work in person at UNMAM and pre-order your 2021 Homecoming poster here.
At Tamarind Institute, there will be new work in the gallery by New Mexico-based artists Eric Garcia, Szu-Han Ho, Gaby Hernández, Jane Lackey, and Zahra Marwan. These prints are the result of Tipping Points, a collaborative project between the City of Albuquerque and Tamarind Institute. Light reception and open gallery hours from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
