Overview Founded by namesake benefactors Burt and Lucy Harwood, the museum has evolved from an early twentieth-century mecca for artists to an AAMaccredited and internationally recognized museum and cultural destination. Originally the Harwoods’s home, it was established as The Harwood Foundation in 1923. Shortly thereafter, it hosted the UNM Field School of Art (1929–1956), was an exhibition and performance space, and—for seventy years—was the Town’s public library. The Harwood Foundation was gifted to the University of New Mexico in 1935, and a Pueblo Revival-style addition—designed by John Gaw Meem—put the building on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. A 1996 renovation added the Agnes Martin Gallery, bringing national and international prominence to Harwood Museum of Art. In 2010, the museum expanded again, adding the contemporary Mandelman-Ribak Gallery, Arthur Bell Auditorium, and Fern Hough Mitchell Center for Education. Harwood Museum of Art serves 24,000 visitors each year with exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and educational programs.

Harwood Museum of Art is a respected repository for the artwork of important American artists who have lived and worked in Northern New Mexico. With its 6,500-object collection, Harwood preserves, exhibits, and interprets a unique record of Taos’s role in the development of American art including showing Taos Society of Artists such as Ernest Blumenschein, E. Irving Couse, and Victor Higgins; midcentury artists such as Andrew Dasburg, Marsden Hartley, Cady Wells, and Rebecca Salsbury James; and many nationally recognized contemporary artists including Agnes Martin, Lynda Benglis, Larry Bell, and Ken Price. Harwood’s collection includes notable Native American artists such as John Suazo, Tony Abeyta, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Dwayne Wilcox.

Spanning historic and contemporary works, Harwood’s Hispanic Traditions collection contains santos, bultos, retablos, tinwork, and furniture, by artists who include José Rafael Aragón, Máximo “Max” L. Luna, Patrociño Barela, Nicolas Herrera, and Gustavo Victor Goler.

Letters from Leadership REFLECTING ON A CENTURY OF ART AND COMMUNITY Leading Harwood Museum of Art into its Centennial has been a tremendous privilege for me. Like so many in our community, I knew Harwood first when it was a public library.

In my youth, I borrowed my very first books from Harwood, studied diligently in the Imhoff reading room, and explored the world of art through the pages of beautiful books. The words of John Nichols aptly capture the essence of Harwood as a “sweet refuge,” which continues to be a cherished second home for me.

On the morning of our Centennial Block Party—a culmination of three years of hard work by Harwood staff and volunteers—I walked down Ledoux Street and was delighted to be greeted by dozens of red balloons festooning my familiar path. With music, artmaking, and exhibitions, Harwood welcomed our community to share in this momentous celebration.

While I am proud of our external accomplishments—drawing over 2,000 people on the opening day, bringing stunning artworks back to Taos, and showcasing the evolution of

Harwood—what truly shines is the teamwork and dedication that underpins these accomplishments. My staff and the volunteers of the Centennial Committee and Alliance invested

6

countless hours and boundless passion into making our vision a reality. I am proud of my creative team’s vision and the impeccable execution throughout the Centennial. I am also grateful for the generosity of our patrons who have made this achievement possible.

As we mark this milestone, we also embrace the opportunity to reflect on our past. The Centennial prompts us to consider the complexities of our history. While the biases embedded in Taos’s art narrative cannot be quickly undone, we, as an institution (including dedicated staff, board, and volunteers), are resolutely committed to effecting change.

Our gaze is firmly fixed on the next chapter of our journey, one that strives for inclusivity. We look to our community with earnest determination to ensure that our exhibitions, collections and programs pave the way for an art story that catalyzes an equitable creative future.

Sincerely,

JUNIPER LEHERISSEY

Executive Director

As we celebrate the Centennial of Harwood Museum of Art, we reflect on the last century of accomplishments and challenges. Our legacy is one of artistic excellence and community enrichment, bound together by the thread of generosity. Burt and Lucy Harwood’s gifts to our community continue to thrive because of the outflowing of support from our community. We are grateful for this guidance and encouragement, leading us as we shape our next strategic plans not only for the immediate future but also for the decades that lie ahead. Just as the Harwoods laid the foundation, your involvement sets the stage for another century of creative impact and cultural growth.

With gratitude,

SCOTT McADAMS

Governing Board Chair

Harwood Museum of Art Centennial • 1923–2023 CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN THE ARTS The one-hundred-year anniversary creates a moment to reflect on legacy, a chance to share a deeper understanding of the past, an opportunity to uplift the lesser-known stories from Northern New Mexico’s diverse communities, and an intention to build a vibrant and creative future.

The Harwood Museum of Art Centennial is a survey of the museum through time, the history of the town to which it is so central, and the role that art from Taos and its surroundings played in the larger artistic movements of the last century. Through unique historic and contemporary exhibition vignettes, never-before-seen programming, and celebratory events, the Centennial is a dynamic chance for guests to understand the evolution of one of the Southwest’s oldest museums.

Exhibitions + Collections EXHIBITIONS Exhibitions at Harwood Museum of Art seek to “inspire a thriving creative community connected through excellence in the arts.” As ratified in the 2021–2023 Strategic Plan, Harwood’s exhibition goals are to: •

celebrate the legacy of Taos’s art history,

•

represent diverse voices of Northern New Mexico, and

• •

support emerging artists of New Mexico,

inspire a creative community by exhibiting relevant, celebrated national and international artists.

Exhibitions stimulate dialogue by introducing innovative ideas into the community, inspiring diverse audiences to participate in Harwood programs, engaging museum audiences with local and global works of art, and interpreting the museum’s collection from multiple perspectives. From summer 2022 to summer 2023, Harwood Museum of Art presented five major exhibitions with significant loans and nine permanent collection rotations throughout the galleries.

NEW BEGINNINGS: AN AMERICAN STORY OF ROMANTICS AND MODERNISTS IN THE WEST May 7, 202–September 25, 2022 During the 1920s and 1930s, Santa Fe and Taos were recognized as two of the nation’s—and world’s— most important art communities.

The cosmopolitan denizens of these remote outposts embraced a multicultural America by engaging with Native American and Hispano populations. New Beginnings: An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West presents more than one hundred works based on artists’ impressions of New Mexico that were created

22

over the course of a century from the late 1800s through the 1900s.

By placing the works of lesserknown artists alongside pillars of the art community, New Beginnings offers a fresh perspective and new dimension to the history of the Taos and Santa Fe art colonies and their enduring legacies.

This traveling exhibition is composed of works on loan from Tia Collection curated by Laura Finlay Smith, Curator, Tia Collection and MaLin Wilson-Powell, Independent Curator.

Sponsors: Montaner Charitable Trust and Greg Nelson.

Outriders: Legacy of the Black Cowboy is an exercise in unearthing images of the drivers, fiddlers, cowpunchers, cattle rustlers, cooks, singers, bulldoggers, and broncbusters with African heritage.

This exhibition balances historical narratives and archival photographs depicting life and work of the cattle drivers from the years immediately before the Civil War through the turn of the twentieth century, with contemporary responses from artists demonstrating Black individuals’ embodiment of the cowboy icon. Outriders broadens the conception of what makes an American symbol and legacy, questioning a story that is deeply ingrained in our popular culture.

William Herbert “Buck” Dunton: A Mainer Goes West celebrates the legacy of the Taos Society of Artists’ (TSA) resident “cowboy painter.”

Founded in 1915, the TSA also includes Oscar E. Berninghaus, Ernest L. Blumenschein, E. Irving Couse, Bert Geer Phillips, and Joseph Henry Sharp. Outfitted in a ten-gallon hat, cowboy boots, and chaps, Maine native Dunton (1878–1936) created captivating paintings of frontiersmen firmly cemented in the historical genre of the American West. These works create a mythology of the west, focusing on the romantic geographic and cultural Southwest landscapes.

The exhibition is guest-curated

by Michael K. Komanecky, Independent Curator and Art Historian; Betsy Fahlman, Adjunct Curator of American Art, Phoenix Art Museum; and Nicole Dial-Kay, Harwood Curator of Exhibitions and

HARWOOD MUSEUM OF ART CENTENNIAL June 3, 2023–January 28, 2024 The Harwood Museum of Art Centennial exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the museum’s rich history. Touchstones include the cultural history of the land where the museum now stands and the many roles the property has served since it was purchased by Burt and Lucy Harwood in 1916. The property was the site for Taos’s first library and art gallery including a permanent art collection from donors such as Mabel Dodge Luhan. It housed the Works Progress Administration’s

(WPA) Taos County Project, the University of New Mexico Summer Field School of Art, and served as a nexus for the Taos Moderns.

The Harwood Centennial exhibition is a survey of the museum through time, the history of the town to which it is so central, and the role that art from Taos and its surroundings played in the larger artistic movements of the last century.

Through unique historic and contemporary exhibition vignettes, the Centennial is a dynamic chance for guests to understand the evolution of one of the Southwest’s oldest museums. With a focus on the future, contemporary artists are showcased through a series of community art installations and a juried artist commission.

Upcoming Exhibitions RAVEN CHACON: THREE SONGS February 24, 2024–July 7, 2024 Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Raven Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work. In the series For Zitkála-Šá (2018), Chacon created musical arrangements dedicated to different contemporary Indigenous, First Nation, or Mestiza women working in music performance, music composition, or sound art. The video installation Three Songs (2021) features Indigenous women singing as they reoccupy sites of historic massacres, displacement, or relocation of tribal people.

The final work, Silent Choir (2016–2017), is a sound installation Chacon made while taking part in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests; it captures the silent protest of six hundred water protectors facing police and security forces. When presented in unison, these works resound the suppressed histories and present-day stories of Native resistance in the face of systemic power.

Raven Chacon is a Diné (Navajo) composer, performer, and installation artist born in Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation and based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a ABOVE: Raven Chacon, For Carmina Escobar (For Zitkála-Šá), 2017–2020. Credit: Raven Chacon and Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts.

EARTH & SKY INTERJECTED: LUCHITA HURTADO July 27, 2024–February 23, 2025 Born in Maiquetía, Venezuela, in 1920, Luchita Hurtado committed almost eighty years of her art practice to the research of universality and transcendence. Expanding her creative vocabulary through a coalescence of abstraction, mysticism, corporality, and landscape, the breadth of her work—with unconventional techniques, materials, and styles—testifies to the multicultural and experiential environments that molded her life and career.

In 1928, Hurtado immigrated to the United States and settled in New York City where she studied at the Art Students League. She moved to Mexico City in the late 1940s, then to San Francisco Bay in the following decade.

She finally settled in Santa Monica, California. Beginning in the 1970s, Hurtado and husband Lee Mullican made

frequent trips to Taos on their way to visit Mullican’s family in Oklahoma, eventually building a second home in the village of Arroyo Seco.

In 2019, Hurtado was listed in TIME 100 as one of the most influential people, and she received the Americans for the Arts’ Carolyn Clark Powers Lifetime Achievement Award. Hurtado’s first solo museum exhibition, Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn, opened at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London in 2019 when the artist was ninety-eight years old. The exhibition then travelled to the LACMA in February 2020. Hurtado died later that year.

Education + Programs Growth has been a hallmark of the past year in Education and Public Programs. Harwood welcomed new staff, cultivated new and existing partnerships, experimented with new types of programming, and celebrated traditions. At the core of this work is a deep commitment to supporting a thriving social, emotional, creative, and intellectual life in Taos. Harwood is guided by four core values: community, creativity, inclusivity, and care. The lasting and ongoing effects of COVID-19 continue to be felt by the Taos community, which is why Harwood remains committed to the vision of nurturing community well-being through art.

Sponsors: [Education] 203 Fine Art; LANL Foundation; Fasken Foundation; J3 Fund; Nusenda Credit Union; Stephanie Bennett-Smith Education Endowment; Nita and Henk Van der Werff; and 55 Thrive Through Art Campaign contributors.

[Programs] Richard B. Siegel Foundation; New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, National Endowment for the Arts; and New Mexico Humanities Council.

EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS Harwood Education continues to center social and emotional learning (SEL) in every aspect of programming as a means of supporting the personal growth of participants while expanding access to art. Education Coordinator Christina Neubrand worked diligently to continue rebuilding school programs while also piloting teacher initiatives, expanding community outreach, and creating new teen and family learning opportunities.

Over the course of the 2022–2023 fiscal year, Harwood Education served 5,004 total participants (35 percent adults and 65 percent youths)—709 through school tours, 344 with teen initiatives, 365 in Out-of-School Time programming, and 3,586 through outreach events.

SCHOOL AND TEACHER PROGRAMS In 2022–2023, school groups returned, exploring the special exhibitions and permanent collections on two different themed tours and focusing on identity and emotion in works of art. Harwood also partnered with local homeschool groups to offer a monthly art lab to support both social and creative development.

34

With LANL Foundation support, Harwood served eighteen educators through a teacher professional development workshop aimed at developing literacy with the three core practices of SEL. In addition, Harwood organized the first Educator Open House as part of the First Friday program to connect teachers to program and enrichment resources.

Harwood worked closely with Taos Municipal Schools’ SEL Coordinator Mark Richert and community collaborators, on SEL in Action: Student Voice and Choice. Bringing together a diverse group of forty students from Taos Middle School and Taos High School, this project was aimed at empowering youths through SEL skill building and creative expression, culminating in an interactive presentation to the Taos Municipal School Board with recommendations of how to make school safer and more engaging.

OUT-OF-SCHOOL LEARNING PROGRAMS Learning outside of the classroom is another pathway to serving Taos youths and adults. Harwood continues working closely with the Enos Garcia Elementary School to offer students weekly programs, and it has expanded its reach by serving several out-of-school learning initiatives with Peñasco Community Schools.

Harwood offered twelve Teen Art Labs—open studio programs designed to create safe and supportive spaces for teens to explore their creativity—and now offers a

monthly version of this program exclusively to DreamTree Project youths.

During Spring Break, Harwood piloted a new in-gallery scavenger hunt and offered family tours of the museum, culminating in a new initiative called Family Art Lab, which invites families to explore and make art together. A partnership with Taos Public Library to bring an interactive story time into the museum galleries and education studio was also piloted.

OUTREACH In partnership with the Town of Taos, Twirl, Taos Public Library, 100% Taos, and Youth Heartline, Harwood Education participated in twenty-four outreach events.

These included Summer of Fun with Youth Heartline, Enos Garcia’s Back to School Night, Hispanic Heritage Fest, Holiday Craft Making for Kids, Dr. Seuss Day, UNM-Taos Family Night, Invent Event, Healthy Families Summit, and Father’s Day Craft Making with Town of Taos.

35

PUBLIC PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Working alongside longtime collaborators, Harwood Public Programs focused on creating more opportunities for Taos community members to experience the museum. This included new initiatives such as Community Day, an extension of Taos Free Sundays, and First Fridays. Hannah Cloepfil joined the Harwood team in January 2023 as Public Programs Coordinator, and she produces a wide variety of events for the museum including the first Block Party, in celebration of the Harwood Museum of Art Centennial.

EXHIBITION PROGRAMS Deepening connections and expanding the stories of Harwood’s collection and exhibitions are key goals of public programming.

Harwood was honored to host the “Remembering Blue Lake” panel (cancelled the year prior) which included Gilbert Suazo Sr., Senator Fred Harris, LaDonna Harris, Bobbie Greene Kilburg, and Jerry Straus. This program was originally planned to accompany Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Return of Blue Lake to Taos Pueblo: A New Day for American Indians.

36

For Debbie Long: Light Ships, Harwood offered monthly Sunset Viewings of Willa with the artist and daily immersive experiences led by Harwood volunteers and staff.

During New Beginnings: An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West, Curators MaLin Wilson-Powell and Laura Finlay-Smith joined Gwendolyn Fernandez for a conversation going “Beyond the Canvas.” New Mexico Museum of Art Curator, Christian Waguespak gave a lecture on Patrociño Barela, Eugenie Shonnard, and Agnes Sims, three New Mexican wood carvers featured in the exhibition. Additionally, Harwood partnered with artist Jivan Lee to offer the first Plein Air Painting Workshop inspired by Emil Bisttram’s Storm Over Taos.

Revolt Gallery returned to host Garry Blackchild during the Opening Celebration for Outriders: Legacy of the Black Cowboy and William Herbert “Buck” Dunton: A Mainer Goes West. Harwood partnered with Taos Center for Arts to present five films as part of a series inspired by the Outriders exhibition, and with the UNM-Taos Fine Art, Film, and Digital Media department to present a community cyanotype workshop with Praise Fuller. That same weekend, other Outriders exhibiting artists Ron Tarver, Ivan McClellan, and Nate Young joined Fuller for a panel discussion moderated by exhibition advisor, Nikesha Breeze. Phoenix Art Museum Curator Betsy Fahlman, co-curator of the Dunton exhibition delivered a lecture titled “Rethinking W. Herbert Buck Dunton” in the Arthur Bell Auditorium.

LIGHTING LEDOUX Partnering with the Town of Taos and neighbors, Lighting Ledoux welcomed over 700 visitors to the museum, with many stopping by the Fern Hogue Mitchell Education Center to make holiday cards and ornaments.

COMMUNITY EVENTS As part of its strategic mission, Harwood Museum of Art offered several free opportunities for Taos community members and visitors to experience Harwood in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. First Fridays returned in the summer of 2022 with more emphasis on engaging activities including live music, artmaking, dance, and access to various community resources. In spring 2023, Harwood offered its first Community Day inspired by the Outriders and Dunton exhibitions, featuring a performance by Steve Cormier, Print Your Own Bandanas with Laurel Taylor of Wilde.Ink, a special Story Time by Taos Public Library, and teen-led tours of the museum. Over half of the surveyed attendees said this was either their first visit to Harwood or their first visit in over a year.

This year, Harwood co-presented alongside or supported the following organizations in bringing engaging

programs to Taos audiences: Leopold Writing Program 10th Anniversary; SOMOS; D. H. Lawrence Ranch Initiatives; D. H. Lawrence Writers Conference; Taos Opera Institute; UNM-Taos Department of Fine Art, Film, and Digital Media; PASEO Project; and Taos Center for the Arts.

CENTENNIAL PROGRAMS To kick off the Harwood Centennial, the museum celebrated with a Block Party attended by visitors of all ages.

The party featured a diverse lineup of music, talks by Open Wall artists, artmaking with Sarah Hart of Hart Print Shop, button making with Harwood Education, and events up and down the street hosted by neighbors. Over 1,200 people came to eat popsicles from Loteria Paleteria, experience the Centennial exhibition, and dance to the sounds of Concepto Tambor, Miles Bonny, Doc the High Hawk, and Garry Blackchild.

Financial Strength Harwood Museum of Art continues to maintain a healthy financial position through several sources of support for its annual operating budget. In Fiscal Year 2023, the University of New Mexico provided forty percent of the museum’s operating revenue, covering approximately seventy-five percent of the cost of salary and benefits. All other financial resources come through annual gifts and grants, fundraising events, earned income, and endowment distributions.

Harwood is immensely grateful to dedicated patrons who provide invaluable annual support, as well as to those who remember the museum through gifts of art and bequests. All of these ways of giving ensure the health and future growth of Harwood.

ENDOWMENTS Endowments are key to the diversification of revenue, providing valuable recurring support for Harwood Museum of Art’s operations and mission-critical activities, now and in the future.

2019–2023 ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN Harwood has been in an active endowment campaign since November 2019, having set out with a strategic goal of increasing endowments by $6MM. Since then, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, more than $1MM beyond the initial goal has been raised through current gifts and bequests. Meanwhile, Harwood continues to seek endowment gifts for specific underfunded critical areas such as Exhibitions, Education, and Collections Care. Ongoing endowment growth provides stable future income that allows Harwood Museum of Art to deliver its positive impact on the lives of children and adults in the region and beyond. Harwood seeks to ensure its standards of excellence and remain a beacon of inspiration for Taos and visitors from around the world.
