SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Beyond the Farm: Groundbreaking Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The Farm & Ranch Museum is opening a new exhibit that uses the inspirational stories of seven remarkable individuals to explore the importance of agricultural research in an everchanging world. \n“Beyond the Farm: Groundbreaking Agriculture” opens in the north corridor of the Museum on June 2. A free\, opening reception with refreshments is planned for 1:30 to 4 p.m. \nFarmers and ranchers keep us fed\, clothed\, and sheltered. With fewer farmers\, less land in agriculture\, and more people to feed\, the demand to increase efficiency and productivity is clear. Through the support of land grant universities like New Mexico State in Las Cruces\, researchers have increased our quality of life and continue to work towards solving worldwide challenges like hunger and disease. \n“New Mexico State University has supported the groundbreaking research and discoveries of several agriculturalists and food scientists\,” said Farm & Ranch Museum Executive Director Heather Reed. “These people have a unique story to tell as they overcame challenges\, broke barriers\, and made contributions to agriculture that paved the way for future scientists and healthier generations.” \nThe Beyond the Farm exhibit shares the individual stories of a diverse group of people connected to New Mexico State University (NMSU).

Regular Museum admission applies to the demonstrations on Saturday\, which are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. \n\nA big part of the event this year is the addition of workshops\, planned for June 16-17. The fee for each workshop is a non-refundable $25\, with an additional material fee for the instructor in some of the workshops (see below). Unless specified otherwise\, workshops are open to ages 16 and older.\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited for the workshops. To register\, please contact LuAnn Kilday at the Museum at luann.kilday@dca.nm.gov or call (575) 522-4100. All workshops are supported by the Friends of the Museum.\n\n\n\n\n\nBasket Weaving Workshop\nJune 16\n10 am to Noon\nWorkshop participants will get the opportunity to create a basket or tray using primarily pine needles. The workshop includes pine needles and all other materials necessary to create a basket or tray with handles. Also included is an instructional booklet\, written by instructor Ric Rao. Material fee to instructor: $15.\n\n\n\n\n\nNålebinding\nJune 16\n10 am to Noon\nThis technique predates knitting and crochet. In Danish\, the word nålebinding literally means “binding with a needle” or “needle-binding;” also naalbinding\, nalbindning\, or nalebinding. The technique is distinct from crochet or knitting in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop. The workshop will be taught by Susan Jewell. Material fee to instructor: $5.\n\n\n\n\n\nColcha Embroidery\nJune 16\n10 am to 1 pm\nAs part of our Fiber Extravaganza\, a colcha embroidery workshop will be taught by two award-winning colcha artists from northern New Mexico\, Julia R. Gomez and Annette Gutierrez Turk. The kit includes fabric with the design imprinted\, yarn sufficient to complete the design\, needle\, and booklet on the technique. The workshop is limited to 12 people and open to ages 13 and up. All levels of expertise are invited. Simply bring your sewing scissors and your enthusiasm. Material fee to instructor: $15.\n\n\n\n\n\nBeginning Stitching\nJune 16\n10 am to Noon\nIn this class\, Sara Greer will teach the basics of crocheting from the chain stitch to the double crochet. We will cover pattern reading and learning the language and abbreviations in the crochet world. If you choose knitting\, you will learn how to cast on\, knit\, purl\, bind off\, and pattern reading. This class is open to ages 13 and up.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Introduction to Painting on Silk\nJune 17\n10 am to Noon\nInstructor Judy Licht will guide participants in creating a 10-by-10-inch silk painting. There will be stencils and many images to inspire you. Painting on silk is an addictive medium! There is no other surface so lively and receptive.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Art of Color\nJune 17\n10 am to Noon\nLearning how to use color effectively in an art endeavor adds excitement and cohesiveness to your work. Sally Quillin will cover the basics of using a color wheel\, creating a mood through use of color\, and choosing colors that go well together. You will also create a fun project to experiment with the color theories learned. Material fee to instructor: $5.\n\n\n\n\n\nTatting\nJune 17\n10 am to Noon\nShuttle tatting is an old form of lace making. Utilizing knots and picots\, tatters create a lace that can be made into almost anything. Tatting requires very minimal equipment and only a few different types of stitches\, so it is an economical and portable craft. In this introductory class\, Tiffany Ward will teach basic tatting: the double stitch\, rings and chains\, and joining stitches. Reading patterns and best types of thread will also be covered. All required materials will be provided. Students may wish to bring a pair of scissors and/or thread crochet hook\, though these are optional. Material fee to instructor: $6.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Billy the Kid

The Culture Series is hosted by the Friends of the Museum. \nIn the late 19th century\, a young man named Henry McCarty changed his name to William H.

One person’s “bad man” is another person’s “good guy.” \nMark Warren is an award-winning author\, educator\, and Western historian. He lectures on Native American history and survival skills\, and Western Frontier History presenting at museums and cultural centers around the country. He has been honored by the Spur Awards\, The Historical Novel Society\, the Will Rogers Medallion Awards\, the Peacemaker Awards\, and most recently\, Warren was a recipient of a 2022 Georgia Author of the Year Award for his book Song of the Horseman. \nWarren’s books will be available for sale and signing following the lecture\, including “A Last Serenade for Billy Bonney.” \nThe presentation is being held in conjunction with the museum’s ongoing exhibit\, “Riding Herd with Billy the Kid: The Rise of the Cattle Industry in New Mexico.” The Museum’s Billy the Kid sculpture by Las Cruces artist Bob Diven will be moved to the lobby to be displayed on the evening of this lecture.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Wandering Reflections: Photography by David Turning
DESCRIPTION:New Mexico’s beautiful\, rugged scenery is preserved in the images of Las Cruces photographer David Turning. \n“Wandering Reflections” is an exhibition at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum featuring 24 of Turning’s photographs. The show opens with an artist’s reception on Saturday\, December 16 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Admission to the reception is free and refreshments will be provided. \nThe exhibit includes color and black-and-white images from Turning’s collection. His landscape photographs are rich with texture\, featuring everything from the roughness of rocks\, thorns\, and tree branches\, to the softness of clouds\, fog\, and sand dunes. \n Turning says he simply photographs landscapes and other things that interest him. He grew up in Alamogordo where his passion for photography sparked when he “borrowed” his dad’s 35mm camera. In 2017\, drawn by the expanded possibilities newer digital cameras provide\, he upgraded from his pocket digital camera. \nEmbracing digital image processing\, Turning mastered the intricacies of image manipulation and enhancement. Now retired\, he finds joy in exploring nature and seizing moments through his camera\, portraying them uniquely through his lens. \n Turning’s show will be on display in the museum’s Arts Corridor through April 6\, 2024.

SUMMARY:BLESSING OF THE FIELDS
DESCRIPTION:The New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum will celebrate an old tradition with the annual Blessing of the Fields procession on Friday\, May 17. \nAt 10 am\, the colorful procession around the Museum grounds begins with the blessing the animals\, plants\, and acequia. Visitors who come to the Museum to participate in the procession from 10 am to 11 am will not be charged admission. \nThe event begins with the Prayer of the Four Directions\, led by Patrick Narvaez\, and Cacique of Corporacion de los Indigines de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de Tortugas and Tortugas Pueblo. \nLeading the procession will be Most Reverend Peter Baldacchino\, Bishop of the Las Cruces Diocese.
