The 12 New Mexico Artists are featured in Southwest Contemporary’s annual summer art publication, the New Mexico Field Guide, published on May 26, 2023.  My painting was featured on the cover!

An art exhibition featuring their work opens on June 3, 2023, with a public opening reception 6-8 pm, and will be on view through September 2 at 516 ARTS in Albuquerque. The public opening will be preceded by a private 516 ARTS member preview and juror-led tour on June 3, 5-6 pm.

Now in its fifth year, Southwest Contemporary’s 12 New Mexico Artists to Know Now project issues an annual statewide open call to artists to submit their work for consideration for what has become a popular and well-regarded presentation of the most exceptional talent and compelling contemporary artwork being made throughout New Mexico.

This year’s call received 380 submissions and was juried by Danyelle Means, curator and arts administrator, most recently executive director of the Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe; Rachelle B. Pablo, curator at 516 ARTS in Albuquerque; and Aaron Wilder, curator of collections and exhibitions at the Roswell Museum.

Exhibition dates: June 3–September 2, 2023

516 Arts, 516 Central Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102
