Join Ranger Lily and Instructional Coordinator Rebekha for a guided tour of the permanent exhibition, "Bosque Redondo…A Place of Suffering…A Place of Survival." Participants will also experience a tour outdoors, visiting the site’s flock of Navajo Churro sheep and exploring the exterior grounds at Fort Sumner Historic Site. These tours teach people about the experiences of the Diné (Navajo) and Ndé (Mescalero Apache) who were forced to live at Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation in the 1860s, as well as stories of their resilience and hope through time. The tour is included with general admission of $7/adult and free for children 16 and younger and Native/Tribal Affiliations

Art lovers, collectors, and the creatively curious are invited to meet 43 local artists in 14 home studios during the 22nd Annual Sandia Heights Artists Studio Art Tour on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7. The free, self-guided art crawl will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Sandia Heights neighborhood near the intersection of Paseo Del Norte and Tramway Blvd.
“Wandering through art studios in the foothills is a great way to spend a weekend,” said Mara Malnekoff, SHA president. “We hope it will cultivate an appreciation for the diverse array of art created right here in Sandia Heights.”
Each stop on the tour features at least three artists who work in diverse mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, fiber arts, glass, photography, jewelry, woodworking, mixed media, and even art created using computer code. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists, learn about their techniques and inspiration, and purchase original artwork directly from the creators.
