Since 1962 the University of New Mexico Art Museum has hosted several exhibitions and collections meant to teach to the University’s faculty and students. In addition to its longstanding focus on photography, the museum also focuses on the upcoming new media of art and welcomes a wide range of collections.
The exhibition “High Five Hall of Fame: Highlights from the UNMAM Collection” opened April 18 and closes on May 17. It focuses on the renaissance of some of the most remarkable pieces that UNM Art Museum had over the time. The exhibition aims to deepen the connection between artists and their pieces, sharing the stories that these pieces tell and recognizing the hard work that visual art can evoke.
