The NHCC Art Museum is getting a fabulous new entrance! In order to maintain safety and protect the artwork, the museum will be closed between January 28 and February 25, 2019. The Art Museum will reopen in time for the opening reception for its upcoming exhibition, Que Chola!, which will take place on Friday, March 8, 6-9 pm. The last few years have seen a surge in interest in the Chola as a figure and this exhibition will explore this dynamic from a feminist perspective through art and popular culture

Art Education Curriculum Project--Information Gathering
2019-06-21 - 2019-08-17 | NM
The National Hispanic Cultural Center in partnership with AmeriCorps VISTA is developing an Art Education Curriculum and Online Resource for Albuquerque educators and students.
We are seeking to create partnerships with schools, educators, parents, and artists to develop a curriculum that will be tailored to fit the needs of as many K-12 students as possible. Through outreach and discussion, we intend to better understand community needs and how digitization of this curriculum would be most useful.

Please see the links below to participate in one of our questionnaires.
For Teachers and Teacher’s Assistants: https://nhccnm.wufoo.com/forms/x1vdomg60bzh30n/
For School Administrators and Staff: https://nhccnm.wufoo.com/forms/x1fjztak1ho7mby/

For Community Members, Parents, and Artists: https://nhccnm.wufoo.com/forms/x19a3bva1j24idz/
The information gathered will be an invaluable tool for developing the Curriculum and Online Resource.
We intend to create a curriculum that meets state standards and is culturally relevant to New Mexico students by integrating NHCC programming into lessons. The first project will focus on the buon fresco mural, Mundos de Mestizaje, by Frederico Vigil, located in the Torreón on the NHCC campus.
