Other art happenings in Santa Fe
Santa Fe's artistic heritage spans centuries, from Native American Indian and Hispanic arts, to O'Keeffe, to a vibrant contemporary gallery and museum scene that surveys the range from whimsical folk art to abstract expressionism.
The Museum of Fine Arts is exploring the regional, cultural and historical context of Georgia O'Keeffe's art in its 80th anniversary exhibition entitled O'Keeffe's New Mexico.
The exhibition, featuring 125 works from the museum's collection, traces Native American, Hispanic and European-American artistic traditions in New Mexico from 1880 to today. O'Keeffe's haunting landscape, Bear Lake (1931) serves as a centerpiece of the wide-ranging exhibit.
