All local artists are invited to exhibit their work in this self–curated exhibition series that hearkens back to a time when anyone from Taos County could hang a work of art at Harwood for a $5 annual membership. Artists install their work on June 1, August 3, and November 2, 2023.
After a competitive call to artists, Lynnette Haozous has been chosen to create a commissioned installation entitled Seeds of the Future specifically for the Harwood Centennial. “I like to paint portraits of Native people in their element today, living both in the modern world, while carrying on our traditions of thousands of years.” – Lynnette Haozous
Courtesy of the artist, Lynnette HaozousDesigned and published by the Museum of New Mexico Press, the illustrated publication Harwood Centennial: 100 Works for 100 Years highlights key works from the museum’s permanent art collection and provides an in-depth understanding of Harwood as a cultural anchor of the enduring Taos art community.
Written by Nicole
Dial-Kayand Emily Santhanam, the publication essays emphasize the voices of artists, curators, directors, and others who played a key role in the formation of Harwood.
A limited-edition portfolio of signed and numbered original prints and photographs by Taos-based artists was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Lucy Harwood’s establishment of the Harwood Foundation and creation of Harwood Museum of Art. Thirty portfolios were printed between May and August 2022. Documentation of the printing of each piece is included. The paper size of each print is 16 x 20”.
All proceeds from the sale of these portfolios benefit Harwood Museum of Art.
