Baumann Community Day with New Wing Opening

Gustave Baumann, best known for his color woodblock prints, became one of Santa Fe’s best known artists and cultural figures after moving here in 1918. Join us for a FREE Community Day celebrating our exhibition Gustave Baumann: The Artist’s Environment. This celebration will feature Baumann-inspired art activities, performances, and guided tours. The Library and Archives will host an open house for visitors to view items from the Baumann Collection and the Women’s Board will host a reception with light refreshments.

Our FREE community day will occur silmatenously with Santa Fe Indian Market.  After exploring the market, you may find yourself inspired to create something. When this happens, come visit the New Mexico Museum of Art Create Station at the corner of Lincoln Ave and Palace Ave on the side of the museum. We’ll have guided art activities and basic art supplies for artists of all ages! Please join us and our friends from other Department of Cultural Affairs museums for a relaxing art break!
