The NMSU Art Museum proudly invites community to join us in the opening reception of our new exhibitions: "Marietta Patricia Leis: Breathing Lessons" and "Shirley Crow: On the Edge."
Meet the artists, listen to live music, and celebrate with us on October 16, 2026 from 5:30-7:30 pm.
"Breathing Lessons" includes over 40 artworks that survey twenty years of the artist’s multidisciplinary practice. Her work invites viewers to pause, contemplate, and become aware of the fragile beauty and tenuous future of our planet.
"On the Edge" traces the trajectory of Shirley Crow’s career, exploring an artistic practice grounded in a lasting sense of wonder about the mysteries of the universe. Spanning nearly fifty years, and including pastel, ink, graphite, and oil, Crow’s work invites viewers to experience her intuitive visual language informed by the magic of creativity and an ongoing questioning of our existence.
