Dear Members, Every year, we dedicate the winter issue of Member News to our Annual Report on the membership, development, retail and licensing activities of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation during the prior fiscal year. This is our opportunity to report the results of our fundraising efforts and to celebrate the impact of your support. First, the numbers: Fiscal Year 2017–18 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018) was another record-breaking year for the Foundation as we generated $8.9 million in earned and contributed revenues, the highest one-year total in our 56-year history. Membership revenue approached $1.6 million, thanks to our 15,000 members who reside throughout New Mexico and across the United States. We welcomed 42 founding members of our newest membership group, Circles Explorers. And, as always, the business community brought outstanding support for the Foundation with $250,000 in cash and in-kind contributions. Our many generous donors provided $2.6 million in direct support for exhibition development and educational programming throughout the Museum of New Mexico system, which includes four state museums in Santa Fe, six historic sites and two historic properties statewide, and the Office of Archaeological Studies. In addition, donors to the Centennial Campaign for the New Mexico Museum of Art brought us ever closer to our $12.5 million goal with $6 million in gifts and pledges. Your generosity keeps us on track for a May 2019 completion of the campaign and a 2020 grand opening of the new Vladem Contemporary in the Railyard Arts District. Especially noteworthy this fiscal year is the performance of our five museum shops in Santa Fe, which recorded an all-time high in gross sales of $3.3 million (see page 26 for details). Our licensing program also had a stellar year with the launch of seven new collections, including two rug collections of particular note. “Crafted Convergence,” developed with Durkan, a division of Mohawk Industries, won best of show at the prestigious Home & Design Boutique show. “Common Threads,” created in partnership with the U.S.German design duo Kyle & Kath, was named by New York Times design editor Hamish Bowles as one of the top ten new collections at the Architectural Digest Design Show.

“More than 350,000 visitors enjoyed our museums and historic sites last year and 40,000 schoolchildren participated in our educational programs,” says Foundation President/CEO Jamie Clements.

It all adds up to impact: More than 350,000 visitors enjoyed our museums and historic sites last year and 40,000 schoolchildren participated in our educational programs. Imagine all the joyful discoveries, new insights, and greater appreciation of New Mexico’s art, culture and history—and folk art worldwide—they experienced. All of us involved with the Foundation made these experiences possible. Now, that’s something to celebrate! Thank you for all you do for the Foundation and the Museum of New Mexico system. Best wishes to you and your family during the holiday season and in 2019. Sincerely,

Jamie Clements President/CEO museumfoundation.org 1


Museum of New Mexico Foundation Board of Trustees 2018–19

Dear Members, The mission of our public partner, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, is to “preserve, foster and interpret New Mexico’s diverse cultural heritage and expression for present and future generations, enhancing the quality of life and economic well-being of the state.” That’s a considerable aspiration, which the Museum of New Mexico Foundation was chartered to support in 1962. Our private role is to fund exhibition development, education programs, collections, capital improvements and other Museum of New Mexico projects not funded by state appropriations. We also provide fund development, retail, licensing, financial management and advocacy. All is executed by a staff of 40 with oversight by an engaged Board of Trustees. By our own internal metrics, the Foundation is ascendant. Other organizations have taken notice, too. In October, the Santa Fe Community Foundation bestowed its prestigious “Tried and True” Piñon Award on our Foundation. And the independent nonprofit rating agency, Charity Navigator, recently gave us “Four Stars,” their highest rating. We scored 93.44 points out of a possible 100 points, higher than the venerable Smithsonian Institution’s rating of 90.86 points. Now, that’s good company! To all of our members, thank you for being part of the Foundation’s success story. Sincerely,

The Year in Review Another Record-Breaking Fundraising Year July 1, 2017–June 30, 2018

You’ve done it again. For the second year in a row, you—our generous members and donors—have broken the record for total Museum of New Mexico Foundation revenues in a given year. In fiscal year 2017–18, our development, membership and retail activities generated $8.9 million. In comparison, last year we brought in $8.5 million. How does the $8.9 million break down? The Foundation received $2.6 million in designated gifts to our 13 affiliated cultural divisions: Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, New Mexico Museum of Art, New Mexico History Museum and Palace of the Governors, six New Mexico Historic Sites and two historic properties, and the Office of Archaeological Studies. Gifts came from individual donors, fundraising events, grants and endowments. These proceeds funded exhibitions, public programs, education, research and more at our institutions. Additionally, more than 15,000 members in 7,800 households together contributed more than $1.5 million in membership dues. This includes our general membership, The Circles and Circles Explorers, and our Business Council and Corporate Partners. Notably, members of The Circles contributed more than $91,000 to the Foundation’s Annual Fund.

It was also a record-breaking year for the Museum Shops. Combined gross sales from our five stores on site at the museums and from our two online retail websites topped off at more than $3.3 million. It was the highestperforming year for the shops in Foundation history. See page 26 for details. Our Licensing Program generated $141,000 in royalties, Foundation endowments paid out more than $279,000, and more than $879,000 was received in realized planned gifts from our Legacy Society program. It doesn’t end there. The Foundation secured more than $6 million toward the $12.5 million Centennial Campaign for the New Mexico Museum of Art, including

Robert and Ellen Vladem’s $4 million—the largest cash gift in Foundation history—to build Vladem Contemporary. And $323,000 was raised to revitalize Here, Now and Always at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, setting us only $60,000 short of the $1.3 million campaign goal. Foundation President/CEO Jamie Clements credits a community of private support for the Foundation’s success this past fiscal year. “I think of the Foundation as a community of trustees, members, donors, friends, collectors and museum lovers who come together in support of the Museum of New Mexico system,” says Clements. “This community makes possible an extraordinary range of exhibitions and educational programs at our state museum system. Your generosity brings to life the art, culture and history of New Mexico and the traditions of folk art worldwide.” In addition to fundraising, the Foundation continued to provide financial and other essential support services on behalf of our 13 cultural partners, including: • Directing a dynamic membership program of more than 15,000 individuals • Operating five museum shops and two online stores • Managing a licensing program • Advocating for state funding at the New Mexico State Legislature • Overseeing 31 endowments valued at over $23 million • Administering grants • Processing and distributing nearly 7,500 checks annually The following pages provide a visual representation of your generosity and other sources of private support during the 2017–18 fiscal year.

The People’s Party 100 Reasons to Boogie Down in Fiscal Year 2017–18 If any of us is lucky enough to turn 100, we’ll probably want lowriders at the party. The New Mexico Museum of Art had lowriders at their centennial celebration on November 25, 2017—plus Pojoaque Youth Hoop Dancers, mariachi musicians, a Santa Fe Opera apprentice singing “Las Mañanitas” and cake. So much cake. “We asked every other cultural institution in Santa Fe to wish us happy birthday with a cake,” says museum director Mary Kershaw. “We had about 20, and we invited artists to cut and serve.” Some 7,600 people stood in lines to enter the newly refurbished museum, and an estimated 2,000 others came downtown to enjoy centennial activities on the Santa Fe Plaza. “It was a real community celebration,” Kershaw says. The Museum of New Mexico Foundation supported the activities and played a key role in the interior refurbishments. While the Department of Cultural Affairs contributed state money to help spiff up the museum, it wasn’t quite enough for what Kershaw had in mind. A bequest through the Foundation from the late Santa Fe artist Celia Rumsey finished the job. “It was just enough to do the public portion of the refurbishments,” Kershaw says. “What a special way to recognize a donor and an artist.”

The combined funds brought natural light into the galleries, removed dark buildup on the floors, and lifted false walls that hid architectural features. Improvements in the lobby have streamlined visitors’ entry experience and enabled the museum to accommodate larger crowds.

Centennial Exhibition Highlights

“I love that open entry,” Kershaw says. “It feels much bigger, much brighter. When you’re in an art museum, the quality of the art is primary. But the quality of the space affects how you feel about the art. It encourages you to want to come back more, and that’s part of the offer we make in welcoming people. It’s part of the philosophy to engage the experience rather than consume the experience.”

Contact: Local to Global Historical works by New Mexico artists combined with works by contemporary artists on issues of the land and environment. November 25, 2017 through April 29, 2018.

For Rebecca Aubin, head of education and visitor experience, that lofty goal achieved another when a thunderstorm threatened a wedding in the museum’s garden. “We moved all 125 people into the lobby and still had room for dancing,” she says. The visitor experience was further enhanced with a special birthday gift from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation to the museum. Desert Abstraction (Bear Lake), a 1931 oil on canvas by Georgia O’Keeffe, was

formerly on long-term loan to the museum from the Foundation. The centennial provided a perfect opportunity to permanently gift it to the museum. Private support through the Foundation made the following exhibitions possible during the 2017–18 fiscal year:

Horizons: People & Place in New Mexican Art Standouts from the museum’s collections, including works by Robert Henri, Georgia O’Keeffe and more. November 25, 2017 through November 25, 2018.

Nurturing Children in Fiscal Year 2017–18 Preschool Program Molds Future Museum Members When three-year-olds enter the New Mexico History Museum, says educator Cyndi Korzec, the unfamiliar place often threatens to overwhelm them. But through their twice-yearly participation in the Hochberg Early Childhood Education Academy, Korzec witnesses their transformations into four- and five-year-olds who look forward to learning about history, making crafts and practicing new vocabulary. “The ones who come back four or five times are comfortable, eager and ready to learn,” Korzec says. “Down the road, this will have a huge impact on their achievement.” The program was launched in 2013 with support from the Brindle Foundation, which funded it through 2015. Museum of New Mexico Foundation Trustee Stephen Hochberg and his wife, Jane, then stepped in with funds to ensure its continuation. More than 500 children from 20 classrooms in northern New Mexico have now attended the academy, some returning for three years running. “We tell them what history is—basically, stories about other people and what they did,” Korzec says. “We teach respect for things and appropriate behavior in public. We create a book with vocabulary words that goes to each class’s library. And we create a sense of community.”

Korzec regularly pulls out her guitar and leads singalongs. The groups take short, 10-minute tours of portions of exhibitions, sometimes heading across the street to the New Mexico Museum of Art. Parents often come along as chaperones, accomplishing a result that wasn’t one of the program’s original intentions. “I’ve had parents and grandparents say this is their first visit to the museum—and they’ve lived here all their lives,” Korzec says. “So, it’s become one of our goals to just get people comfortable coming downtown and seeing that it’s fun to visit a museum.” This past year, the Foundation gave every participating family a free pass to all the state museums and historic sites to further kindle that interest. “If we can get them in at age three and teach them that these are fun and interesting places to go, then they’re going to become museum-goers when they grow up,” Korzec says. Another unexpected benefit: “Staff members often drop in, and they always leave smiling,” Korzec says. “The museum comes alive when the little ones are here.”

Exhibition Highlights Private support through the Foundation made the following exhibitions possible during the 2017–18 fiscal year: Atomic Histories: Remembering New Mexico’s Nuclear Past The most famous events, inventions and little-known stories of the Manhattan Project and its progeny. Presented in conjunction with artist Meridel Rubinstein’s conceptual installation, Oppenheimer’s Chair, the exhibition recognizes the contributions of people involved in New Mexico’s atomic story—and raises lingering questions about its legacy. June 3, 2018 through May 27, 2019. The Land that Enchants Me So: Picturing Popular Songs of New Mexico Visitors delight in graphically striking sheet-music covers from the 1840s through 1960 and hear sound recordings relating to New Mexico’s musical life. March 2, 2018 through April 15, 2019.

Changing Lives in Fiscal Year 2017–18 Native Children Dance and Cook Their Way to Health It starts with a book. Every year, as part of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, children across the nation read a chosen book. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture taps into the state’s Tribal Libraries Program and offers four days of complementary programs to up to 300 students. “This last year, the topic was Libraries Rock, so we built music programs around it and looked at it from a Native American perspective,” deputy museum director Marla Redcorn-Miller says. Artist Santiago Romero (Cochiti) shared his version of contemporary dance movement that cleverly builds on powwow-style steps as a fitness routine. “He talks about putting down the digital and getting up and moving,” Redcorn-Miller says.

Ehren Kee Natay (Santo Domingo/Navajo) brought contemporary and traditional drums, performing and talking to the kids about his experiences as an artist, musician and dancer. And Roxanne Swentzell (Santa Clara), a renowned sculptor who advocates for a back-tobasics Native diet, taught them to make sweet tamales with dried fruit. “At one point, I saw three generations from Acoma Pueblo making tamales together—a toddler, mother and grandmother,” Redcorn-Miller says. The July 2018 program was supported by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, which also funded the July 2017 books program. In 2017, children focused on elements of architecture, caring for adobe and indigenous notions of placemaking. “We worked with the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture and had these great students and mentors who were all Native Americans,” RedcornMiller says. “You never know what ways you may have touched a child that pays off years later.” Educator Joyce Begay-Foss says similar inspiration awaits children who participate in the Foundationsupported Arts Alive! programs each summer on Milner Plaza. In 2017, four hands-on events, free and open to adults with children, focused on pottery and food. “The kids get really excited because they want to cook,” Begay-Foss says. “In New Mexico, a lot of kids are below poverty level. People struggle to feed their kids, and they need better food. I always ask them, ‘What can you make? What if you can’t buy a box of cereal? Can you make blue corn mush?’ And we make a recipe book for them. I have kids come back and say, ‘I make tortillas for my family now.’” Arts Alive! has grown steadily in attendance, “which shows there’s a need for programming for parents and their kids during the summer,” Begay-Foss says. “This helps the community.”

Uniting Artists in Fiscal Year 2017–18 Folk Art Forges Bonds Across Borders The exhibition Crafting Memory: The Art of Peru gave Museum of International Folk Art curator Amy Groleau the chance to embrace an ambitious set of programs connecting Peruvian and New Mexico artists on topics of cultural trauma and their shared survival. It started by bringing Peruvian artists to Santa Fe, a reversal of sorts. “They’re often the people who are visited, who are studied, who are on the receiving end,” Groleau says. “This was a time for them to travel and have the kind of life-changing experience that travel affords you.” In April 2018, three people came whose lives had been rent by social violence in Peru during a time when 70,000 citizens disappeared. Groleau paired them with Tewa Women United, based at Santa Clara and San Ildefonso pueblos, seeking to further their culturally significant paths toward healing. The artists enjoyed 10 days together, learning how the pueblo women address healing through art, and conducting clay workshops for one another and the public. They experienced the generosity of local people, who shared daily meals and kindness. “It met the goals we had set out of reducing isolation and building solidarity across boundaries,” Groleau says. “It’s really important to feel seen, and these artists experienced that.”

Some of the women’s collaborative works will be included in an exhibition opening in January 2019 in the museum’s Mark Naylor and Dale Gunn Gallery of Conscience. Even the exhibition’s name, currently Reclaiming Roots/Forging Future, is the result of the artists’ collaboration and may change as the group’s dialogue evolves. A June 2018 program united emerging Santa Fe artists with two founders of Lima’s Amapolay collective of street artists and printers. The group conducted a poster-making workshop around the current issue of detention of children on the United States border with Mexico. Their tack was to focus on what unites people regardless of where they live. A free screen-printing event of their design at the Santa Fe Railyard (with a bring-your-own-T-shirt twist) drew nearly 1,200 people, who also grooved to live music. A follow-up event on Museum Hill drew another 400 participants. “We were all artists of color and were indigenous from the Southwest,” says participant Moira Garcia, founder of Art for Change, which supports youth and the environment. “These kinds of connections are extremely important. Anytime we make art collaboratively, it’s potent work that can be transformational for the artist and for the people exposed to it. Our discussions lit a fire for us to keep moving in this direction as individuals and by collaborating.”

Exhibition Highlights Private support through the Foundation made the following exhibitions possible during the 2017–18 fiscal year: Beadwork Adorns the World A magnificent array of works demonstrates how glass beads from the island of Murano in Venice, Italy, and the mountains of Bohemia, in the Czech Republic, travel around the world, connecting the cultural lives of people.

Tipping the Balance In Fiscal Year 2017–18 Donors Provided Power for Research and Outreach Evidence of ancient lives suffuses the Southwestern landscape, and researching them forms the core purpose for the Office of Archaeological Studies. Clients throughout the state pay for the services of the archaeologists and specialists, including editors, graphic artists and accountants, but clients can’t support goals beyond those of their particular project. “The conflict between what our office might do and what we are funded to do by clients highlights the importance of support from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and the Friends of Archaeology,” says director Eric Blinman. Friends of Archaeology made a major impact during fiscal year 2017–18. Membership in the Friends group is free, and a volunteer board organizes its events, tours and programs. Board members share a passion for archaeology and ensure that these activities are self-supporting, including production of the New Mexico Archaeology newsletter. In the past year, participants paid $34,300 in fees for activities during the year, offsetting expenses for the activities and for the newsletter. The board’s investment in communication ultimately yielded more than $75,000 in donations, which ranged from $10 to $6,800.

Education Outreach Honoring donors’ intent is an essential element of trust in philanthropy, and $48,000 was raised to support the Office of Archaeological Studies’ education outreach programming. An ongoing shift toward teacher training led to workshops on how to use archaeology in the classroom for strengthening students’ critical-thinking skills. The Office of Archaeological Studies conducted more than 236 educational programs that reached more than 5,500 children and 6,300 adults. The value of these programs was more than $105,000, including volunteers’ donated time, cash from Friends group contributions and various subsidies, including from the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Friends-sponsored programs covered a wide range of archaeology interests, including: • Free bag-lunch talks on many topics, including the Earth’s magnetic field, the archaeology of Phoenician administration in the Upper Galilee, theories of Mesa Verde migration, and the history of Santa Fe’s Presbyterian Girl’s School. • An international trip exploring the pre-Incan archaeology of northern Peru. • Regional archaeology trips and events covering the little-known Puebloan archaeology of the Dinetah, visits to Gallina area sites, Comanche Gap rock art, and the stellar rock art at San Cristóbal Pueblo in the Galisteo Basin. • Intimate programs on Hopi agriculture and katsina carving, a Zia pottery firing demonstration, and the celebration of International Archaeology Day with a public open house and activities, all at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology. • The annual Holiday Party and Auction hosted by the Friends of Archaeology. “It’s one of the most convivial Foundation events of the year,” Blinman says.

Research development received $4,000 in new contributions through the Friends of Archaeology and the Foundation. Member contributions combined with funds from the Dr. Don E. Pierce Endowment for Archaeology and Conservation enabled the following: • Establishment of a digital radiography laboratory ($61,000) • Further research on low-energy plasma radiocarbon sampling ($11,000) • Work on the Robert DuBois Archaeomagnetic Dating Archive ($7,000) • Development of a statewide database for human osteology ($2,000) • Support for smaller research initiatives ($18,000) Last but not least, undesignated contributions helped achieve other important goals, such as landscaping at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology, enhancing our programs and the visitor experience. “We’re committed to exploring and sharing the rich history of New Mexico’s many communities,” Blinman says. “Please join us in this mission by becoming a member of our Friends group, and please consider supporting our education and research programs through contributions, including legacy contributions, to the Foundation.”

Community Connectors Historic Sites Touch Lives Statewide in Fiscal Year 2017–18 In May, the Bosque Redondo Memorial Gourd Dance at Fort Sumner carried a theme of “Healing the Past for Our Children’s Future.” A sunrise-to-sunset ceremonial dance adopted from the Kiowa people helped Mescalero Apache and Navajo peoples confront a painful past —and express pride in their resilience. Ezekiel Argeanas, a Navajo high-schooler who lives in Moriarty with his adoptive family, welcomed his invitation as a chance to help his people “break their sense of pain” from the 19th-century Long Walk to imprisonment at Bosque Redondo. “Our ceremonies are all based on restoring healing and balance,” Argeanas says, “but I think the biggest healing needed is the trauma caused from the Long Walk. That’s why I go to these ceremonies, to understand and pay homage to those who lost their lives, so there will never be another Long Walk for my people.” The event preceded June ceremonies commemorating the 150th anniversary of the U.S. treaty that enabled the Navajo to return to their homeland. Events included the display of an original copy of the 1868 treaty, cultural dances, Susan Hudson’s Navajo storyteller quilts, food vendors, artisans and a traditional Navajo rug dress commissioned by Argeanas for his Eagle Scout project. The commemoration was just one of the ways the Museum of New Mexico Foundation supported education programs at New Mexico Historic Sites and properties during the 2017-18 fiscal year. Additional highlights include:

Jemez Historic Site The December 2017 Light Among the Ruins holiday event drew a record 4,455 visitors to see thousands of farolitos, Native dances, and arts and crafts. “It’s probably everybody’s favorite event who lives here,” says Jemez Springs Mayor Roger Sweet. “Everyone comes together around two bonfires. It doesn’t matter who you are. It’s a celebration of place.”

Fort Selden Historic Site and Lincoln Historic Site An outlaw, a soldier and General Douglas MacArthur’s mother were among the characters visitors interacted with during the sites’ new Voices from the Past program. Sometimes spooky and always enlightening, the encounters help people form a more tangible connection to the past. “As they return to the present,” says sites’ manager Leslie Bergloff, “they are inspired to find out more about local history and how they can help preserve historic sites.”

Fort Stanton Historic Site

Los Luceros Historic Property

While hosting more than 22,000 visitors, site staff hustled to prepare the long-closed U.S. Public Health Service Hospital. Opened in July, it expands the timeline of Fort Stanton’s role and its importance to the nation. The first federal hospital for tuberculosis patients, the facility boosted the Territory’s population and its push for statehood.

Crowds of people pick apples, listen to music and tour the historic buildings during the Los Luceros Apple Harvest Festival each September. The event drew people from throughout New Mexico, many of whom never knew about the property or its centuries-old history.

Coronado Historic Site By inviting the public to participate in an archaeological dig that is expanding our knowledge of what once was Kuaua Pueblo, Coronado staff taught state-of-the-art excavation techniques to dozens of volunteers and won a national award.

Taylor-Barela-Reynolds Mesilla Historic Property J. Paul Taylor and his family continued to welcome school groups and other by-appointment tours to his historic Mesilla home for an immersion into Spanish colonial art, architecture, furniture and more.

Big Business Museum Shops Ring Up Record Sales in 2017–18 A shift in product selection in fiscal year 2017–18 pushed the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Shops over the $3 million threshold for the first time in their history. And they didn’t just cross the line, they leaped over it—with $3,323,000 in total sales. John Stafford, who leads the Foundation’s retail division, says that represents a 16.7 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. “We’ve been in process of shifting our growth model to more jewelry and women’s clothing,” Stafford says. “Jewelry alone exceeded $1 million in sales.” Moderately priced Native American jewelry goes the fastest, he adds, with a sleeper success coming from piano-wire necklaces and earrings at the New Mexico Museum of Art. “Those have done extremely well.” The two shops at the New Mexico History Museum—The Spiegelberg Shop and Palace of the Governors Shop—led the way, with $996,000 in total sales. Close behind was the Museum of International Folk Art Shop with $981,000. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture tallied $746,000, and the New Mexico Museum of Art had $495,000. Perhaps most notably, total sales at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture’s Colleen Cloney Duncan

Museum Shop were 21 percent higher than the previous fiscal year. “After the Turquoise, Water, Sky exhibition closed [in May 2016], their sales went down,” Stafford says. “But they’re back.” Book sales showed a slight increase over the previous year, but Stafford notes, “they’re not a majority of our sales anymore.” Beyond the growing popularity of the shops’ jewelry and apparel lines, he points to growth in art purchases of $1,000 and more—a notable post-recession mile marker. The annual Navajo Rug Auction brought in $37,500. And online sales rang up another $67,500, but those could soon grow. “Our website is undergoing a big revision in advance of the holidays, and we plan to increase our social media presence as well,” Stafford says. Already, the shops see a sales spike every time members receive their email newsletters. An online gift guide in the works aims to boost holiday shopping. “We’re pleased with what we’re doing,” Stafford says. “Our goal is to get to $4 million in sales as quickly as we can.” Visit our online museum shops at the new shopmuseum.org.

Corporate Partner Spotlight Southwest Art Collectors Supporting Collectors Every month for nearly 50 years, Southwest Art magazine has introduced readers to contemporary artists who are interpreting—and reinterpreting—the West and Southwest. The magazine is part of a larger enterprise that also produces some 50 magazines for artists and collectors, including the locally available Collector’s Guide. Denver-based editor Kristen Hoerth says Southwest Art covers “almost exclusively living artists. Part of what we’re trying to do is encourage people to support those artists.” At the magazine’s 1971 founding, Hoerth says, most arts coverage looked only at the nation’s two coasts as hotspots for creativity. “But there was this movement in the Southwest back then, focused on New Mexico and Arizona, with all this great work coming out that coincided with people moving in to the region and the expansion of the oil industry.” Those ingredients, she says, combusted into an arts boom that even a glut of 1980s-era kitsch couldn’t undermine. “The art of the West is a unique thing,” she says. “You see it a lot in landscapes, that vast sense of place. But the art also reflects the history of the West, which lives on in various pockets and places.” Emerging artists now embed issues of water rights and urban expansion into their works, along with traditional images of cowboys and sunsets, she says. That long thread of lively engagement is what spurred Southwest Art to become new supporters of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation at the $25,000 Corporate Partner level. “New Mexico is one of our top states for readership and one of the top that we cover for events and exhibits,” Hoerth says. “The museums are so crucial to preserving the art legacy of New Mexico and the West.” The New Mexico Museum of Art’s holdings by the Taos Society of Artists and Santa Fe Art Colony initially drew Hoerth’s interest. But in recent years, she’s been especially impressed with the museum’s contemporary exhibitions, particularly those featuring photography.

she says. “To see the museum incorporating new and phenomenal works of photography speaks to how the medium is completely relevant.” Annual door-busting events like the Museum of Indian Art and Culture’s Native Treasures that “do a great job of bringing artists into a setting where people can see art and enjoy it” also earn Hoerth’s love. Add it up, she says, and it only makes sense for the magazine to support the Foundation. “We want to help to continue to show what they’re doing,” she says. “We’re glad to be a part of this.” For information about becoming a Corporate Partner, contact Cara O’Brien at 505.982.6366 ext. 118 or Cara@museumfoundation.org.

Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe

These wooden dolls by Alexander Girard are a large family of figures representing human and animal characters. He designed them in 1953 for his own use as decorative objects in his Santa Fe home. Precisely replicated down to the last detail, the many different wooden dolls are still fabricated and painted by hand today, just like the vintage pieces by Alexander Girard. And even if the differences between them are only very slight: each wooden figure is a unique, individual product, truly one of a kind. The Girard collection at the Museum of International Folk Art houses the popular permanent exhibition, Multiple Visions: A Common Bond, which showcases folk art, popular art, toys and textiles from more than 100 nations. Opening in 1982, this unorthodox and delightful exhibition was designed and installed by Alexander Girard.
