Join us for a Saturday of Family Fun!

The Booth Museum has a Saturday of events planned for cowboys and girls of all ages. Join us on Saturday, January 12th for Children’s Saturday, and for museum members, a Meet the Artist Reception and an Evening Lecture entitled Grandeur in Western Art: Then and Now.

Children’s Saturday, a workshop held for children monthly, will begin at 10:00 a.m. and last until noon. Come learn about the art of horses with If Picasso was a Cowboy- Horse Artwork and Horse Trivia day featuring the work of artist George Gogas. Children may also gather for storytelling with “What’s the Most Beautiful Thing you know about Horses?” where they will discover interesting facts about horses and create an art project to take home.

Children's Saturday is an educational program for children ages 4 to 12 and their parents, and is usually offered the second Saturday of each month. Programs relate to the Museum's permanent and traveling collection and focus on teaching children about the American West through art, literature, entertainment, teaching and hands-on activities. A nominal fee for materials is charged.

Members are invited to view four new exhibitions and meet the artists. New exhibits include, 21st Century Regionalists: Art of the New West; Dancing Ground of the Sun: New Mexico Paintings by Lynne Friedman; As Mother Earth Spins, She Speaks: Pueblo Pottery by Alvina Yepa; and Letter Paintings: Illustrated Envelopes and Letters by Al Napoletano.

At 7:00 pm, 21st Century Regionalists guest curator James Burns will lead a discussion of the exhibition with visiting artists in the Booth Theatre. Refreshments will be served in the café.
