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. Students from Las Cruces Catholic Schools will be among the participants. \nThe bulto carried during the procession was created by Las Cruces artist Virginia Maria Romero. \nThe Museum will also have a plant sale as part of the festivities.

He worked in the fields for a wealthy landowner and was known for his devotion to God\, his humility\, and his generosity to those less fortunate than him. \n  \nThe story of San Ysidro has been passed down through the generations and still inspires many farmers and their families in the Mesilla Valley. For many years\, workers in San Miguel would make a pilgrimage each May\, stopping at all the villages along the valley. \n  \nThe New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum is located at 4100 Dripping Springs Road in Las Cruces.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: New Mexico AgrAbility
DESCRIPTION:New Mexico AgrAbility sheds light on how farmers and ranchers with disabilities in rural areas overcome challenges to maintain their livelihoods and agricultural production. \nAn opening reception will be held in the Traditions and Legacy galleries on Jan. 23 at 1:00 p.m. Admission to the reception is free\, but regular admission applies to the Museum. \nVisitors can engage with stories about farmers and ranchers who have overcome physical and mental challenges in their pursuit of their agricultural careers. The exhibit features a tractor simulator\, which is an actual cab of a tractor designed for individuals with physical barriers\, fiberglass cows\, and a hoop house to immerse the visitors in what AgrAbility is all about. \nAgrAbility is a U.S. Department of Agriculture program to assist farmers\, food growers\, and farm families who are touched by a disability\, chronic health problem\, or just getting older\, which affects their ability to take part in an agricultural lifestyle. Imagine having a leg prosthesis and trying to drive a farm tractor\, or a bad back and trying to ride a horse to round up cattle. People have overcome those challenges with help from the AgrAbility program. \n\nRead Full Press Release
