Harwood 100 Open Wall
August 3 • November 2
1:00–5:00 pm
#openwall
Thank you to the many artists who participated in the last Open Wall.
Don't miss the next two opportunities!
All local artists are invited to exhibit their work in this self–curated exhibition series that honors Harwood’s democratic origins. Harkening back to Harwood’s 1940s history when anyone from Taos County could hang a work of art in the galleries as part of a $5.00 annual membership, we invite our community to three opportunities to participate in an open hanging of their own artworks in the Joyce and Sherman Scott Gallery.
