Bernalillo’s Coronado Historic Site launches a six-month Native artist demonstration series this Sunday, giving visitors a chance to watch — and talk with — working artists from New Mexico’s Pueblos and Arizona’s Hopi villages.
Demonstrations run 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month from May through October. The series opens May 3 with Mallery Quetawki (Zuni) demonstrating acrylic painting and pottery.
The remaining schedule: June 7, Dolores Lewis Garcia (Acoma), Acoma polychrome pottery; July 5, Valerie Namoki (Hopi), Hopi pottery; Aug. 2, Randy Brokeshoulder (Hopi), Hopi wood doll carving; Sept. 6, Marcus Moquino (Kewa/Hopi), acrylic and mixed media; Oct. 4, Louie Garcia (Piro/Socorro Del Sur), Pueblo textile weaving.
Admission is free for New Mexico residents on first Sundays. Non-residents pay $7. Children 16 and younger, Tribal members, New Mexico disabled veterans, foster families, and MNMF and FCJHS members are also admitted free.
