National Hispanic Cultural Center
New Community Art Exhibition: Four New Mexico Artists
through January 10
The National Hispanic Cultural Center is proud to announce its newest art exhibition “NaturalMente.”
This exhibit is located in the Community Gallery inside the NHCC Art Museum.
NaturalMente is a group show featuring four artists who are inspired by natural forms and organic materials.
The diverse range of media includes photographs by Fernando Delgado, Rita Padilla Haufmann’s fiber art, mezzotint prints by Carol Sánchez, and Camilla Trujillo’s pottery. Their work reflects inspired responses to nature and creativity. NHCC Art Museum Director and Chief Curator, Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn states, “We titled the show NaturalMente because it has a double meaning; It means “Naturally” and also “Natural Mind” in Spanish. Both of these themes are evident in the beautiful and incredible work by these four artists.”
The NHCC is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Hispanic Art and Culture at the local, state, national and international levels. The Center is a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
NHCC is located at:
1701 4th St SW 1701 (on the corner of 4th Street and Avenida César Chávez)
Albuquerque, NM 87102-4508
