Happy Arte Hour

6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

NHCC invites adults for artistic fun in a relaxed social setting. This is a great opportunity for friends to hang out, a unique date night option, or a place to come solo and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase. Explore the world of soft sculpture with artist April Garcia, whose work is on display in Fronteras del Futuro: Art in New Mexico and Beyond. A variety of fabrics and materials will be available for you to create your very own futurism-inspired soft sculpture.

Please pre-register here or use the link below (so we know how many materials to prepare). Registration for the following month is available the day after the current program month. For more information, please call or email Elena Baca at 505-246-2261 or elenad.baca@dca.nm.gov.

Free Community Event. $5+ donations are encouraged to support the artists & purchase supplies.

¡Globalquerque!

¡Globalquerque!, New Mexico’s Annual Celebration of World Music and Culture, has become a premiere festival in the Southwest since its inception in 2005. The purpose of this annual music and culture festival is to highlight cultures of the world alongside the traditional cultures of New Mexico. The event utilizes multiple stages at the NHCC, including the Plaza Mayor, the Albuquerque Journal Theatre, and the History and Literary Arts courtyard (the Fountain Stage), and features a Global Village of Craft, Culture, and Cuisine and a variety of workshops, demonstrations, and other family activities, along with two nights of performances from around the globe. The festival has featured numerous artists from Spain and Latin American countries, as well as Hispanic artists from New Mexico. Some of these artists have performed at the NHCC at other events comprising part of the Performing Arts program’s seasonal programming.

Well into their 30s, Juan and Benjamin can’t seem to finish veterinary school or leave their parents’ homes in Satélite, Mexico City’s version of an American suburb. On a fateful Christmas eve, however, they decide it’s finally time to distinguish themselves by pulling off the most infamous heist of cultural artifacts in all of Mexican history—looting the country’s iconic National Anthropology Museum. Museo Directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios features Gael García Bernal, Simon Russell Beale, Lynn Gilmartin, Ilse Salas.

Join us for pre-film tours of the exhibition, Fronteras del Futuro , then jam to futuristic tunes by DJ Sunai. Cash bar and food truck.

The place: Mexico. The time: The near future. The world is divided by closed borders, but connected by a digital network that ties people together around the world. In Santa Ana del Río, Oaxaca, where a corporation controls the small village’s water supply, Memo Cruz dreams of heading north to a big city where he can work in a high-tech factory. When his dream becomes a reality, his reality becomes a nightmare of border walls, shanty towns, remote control drones, and security forces searching for “aqua-terrorists.”
