Brand-new Field Trips for the summer semester: We return to some old favorites and take in some new sights! We hope you can join us.
Here’s the Field Trip schedule for June:
Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Lunch, and Poeh Museum
Docent-guided tour of the world-famous Georgia O’Keeffe Museum with a current Ansel Adams exhibit. Enjoy lunch at the Georgia O’Keeffe Cafe. Then, north to the Poeh Center, established in 1988 by the Pueblo of Pojoaque’s Tribal Council to promote the arts and cultures of all Pueblo People of the northern Rio Grande Valley — the Pueblos of Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara, Tesuque, Picuris and Taos.
The stark clarity of O’Keeffe’s work, inspired by the spare beauty and simplicity of her New Mexico surroundings, has created some of the artistic world’s most famous and iconic images.
