EVENTS AROUND THE STATE

Seeking to understand who we are, who we were and who we aspire to be.

Whether you’re looking for something to do locally, or a good excuse to go on a road trip, there are a range of activities and events to enjoy with friends and family.

What’s happening in your neck of the woods? You’ve come to the right place for a complete list of our public programs, workshops, Chautauqua performances and community happenings.

We believe in the power of storytelling, the value of shared experiences and the importance of fostering an appreciation for different perspectives. As you’ll see, our events and programs are wide-ranging and dynamic.

From thought-provoking sessions in our Speakers Bureau that address historical and social issues to grant-funded programs that involve communities, our calendar of events offers a variety of opportunities for meaningful connections and a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.

Those we work with at the local, state and national level play an important role in ensuring accessibility and inclusivity. Partnerships and collaboration go a long way in helping us bring communities together. We work alongside our partners to facilitate public programs and experiences through which our cultural heritage, distinct histories and traditions can be shared. Such partnerships are fundamental to our efforts, enabling us to expand our reach and more effectively further our mission and the impact of our work. Our partnerships ensure that our programs resonate with the people of New Mexico.

Check out what lies ahead in our beautiful state. Consider joining us, whether in person or virtually beyond boundaries, where you can expand your knowledge, challenge your perceptions, and connect with others who share your curiosity and love for the humanities.

We’ve got it all mapped out for you, guaranteeing that the power of the humanities is felt in every corner of our diverse state—from Aztec to Carlsbad, N.M.
