A Note About Translations
Spanish is spoken in countries and communities all around the world. We believe it is important to critically evaluate linguistic attitudes and to challenge norms and beliefs about prestige and privilege. Although dialects vary from region to region and community to community, we value and respect all dialects and manners of speaking Spanish and appreciate the differences. Our content translators come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and traditions, and their translations may vary accordingly.

Docent & Volunteer Opportunities
A dedicated and enthusiastic core of docents and volunteers make the NHCC operate, and have a blast in the process, whether they are ushering for performances, facilitating workshops, or getting and giving exhibition tours! Orientation is required prior to volunteering, and orientations are offered in February, May and October. For information on both the docent and volunteer program please contact David Rivera by phone at (505) 724-4771 or by email at david.rivera1@dca.nm.gov
