Visual artists with an established practice are invited to apply for “Artist Lab: Art Meets History in New Mexico” - presented by a collaboration between 516 ARTS, Kolaj Institute, & Albuquerque Museum Photo Archives. 
The four-week, online educational program designed to foster the integration of history into contemporary art practices. ⁠
⁠516 ARTS is providing a limited number of scholarships to artists from New Mexico, artists from Mexico whose work focuses on the US/Mexico border, and artists who are Native American, Alaskan Native, or First Nations.⁠

A goal of the lab is a proposal for a body of artwork to be considered for a group exhibition at 516 ARTS in 2022. ⁠

From @wrightsindianart Wright's is incredibly exc From @wrightsindianart 
Wright's is incredibly excited to introduce to you our inaugural Artist of the Month, Antoinette Thompson. An incredible self-taught artist, she found herself through her expressionism and the use of abstraction after a troubled childhood. Influenced heavily by her mentor, Sheldon Harvey, Antoinette creates pieces full of imagination, with traditional motifs shining in totally unique and personal ways. This can be seen in her mixed media sculpture below, full of energy from the different shapes, colors, and swirling designs.⠀
⠀
Follow her on Instagram at @athompsonart and check in with us as we showcase more of her beautiful pieces!

“Last year a number of galleries closed, whether permanently or temporarily, including those that represented my work, and I successfully pivoted during these tough times!

From Wright’s Indian Art: Perfectly sized for d From Wright’s Indian Art: 
Perfectly sized for displaying on a desk, table, or shelf, this finely carved sculpture has a handsome power.⠀
⠀
It depicts a human figure, whose head blends seamlessly into the head of an eagle, his protective spirit.⠀
⠀
Dark russet alabaster is polished to a delectable smoothness in the abstract body.⠀
⠀
The heads of both man and eagle are carved with realistic, refined detail, in a pale and textured surface⠀
⠀
An eagle feather hangs down from the long hair of the human, smooth and minimally carved, but natural in appearance, even to the darker area towards the bottom.⠀
⠀
Eagle feathers represent prayers and hopes, that the eagle carries up to the heavens.⠀
⠀
The eagle’s beak and eyes are polished and dark, like the body of the piece and areas of the eagle feather worn by the warrior.⠀
⠀
Natural, almost-white streaks throughout the stone, are expertly manipulated by the artist, to emphasize the subject matter.⠀
⠀
For instance, on the side where the human face dominates, a fluid streak of pale color flows down from the neck of the face to the bottom.⠀
⠀
It strongly resembles the irregular fold of a blanket. On the face itself, half is pale, as if covered in war paint.⠀
⠀
The hair of the warrior and the feathers of the eagle are carefully etched in different ways.⠀
⠀
His hair is looser, irregular, and vertical; the eagle’s head is covered with a denser, regular texture, that is horizontal.⠀
⠀
Even the neck feathers, reaching down from the head, are etched more densely, and deeper, than the warrior’s hair.⠀
⠀
The base is a polished marble, which carries the light hues in the alabaster, all the way from the sculpture’s top to the bottom.⠀
⠀
Impressive and handsome, this is a wonderful value, as well.

“Sobremesa“
This oil Painting was inspired by the culture and traditions that can be experienced across New Mexico. The title “Sobremesa” translates into “Over The Table” and is the name of a new upstart Restaurant and Brewery on the Westside of Albuquerque. The owners grew up with my sons and are natives to Albuquerque. This painting was done for these entrepreneurs that are bravely pursuing their dream during the Covid 19 Pandemic.

If you are craving great draft beer, empanadas, tacos, green chile cheeseburgers and more call in an order or order online when they are open. Check them out online  www.sobremesanm.com
