Exhibition: Nuestros Maestros: The Legacy of Margaret Herrera (Chávez)
Feb. 7, 2009 - June 21, 2009
Since the 1950's, Margaret Herrera
(Chávez)'s paintings, watercolors, and prints have captured the real and
imagined character of New Mexico as well as other parts of the world. See the
largest existing public collection of work by Herrera (Chávez) in this
celebration of one of the few Nuevomexicanas recognized as an artist in the
mid-twentieth century. The NHCC Community Art
Gallery is made possible by
the generous support of local and regional artists and the NHCC Foundation's
"Art for the Artists Fund."
