The grand opening of our 2024 season is happening! We are excited to be featuring our largest traveling exhibit FLORIGAMI in our Cerrillos sculpture garden!
We will be open Tuesdays-Fridays from 9am to 1pm for you to come visit our grounds and our garden welcome center! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your co-workers, this is a place for all to enjoy!
FLORIGAMI is the newest traveling exhibition featuring up to 18 heroically-sized installations of nearly 70 museum-caliber sculptures inspired by origami – the centuries-old Japanese art of folding paper – created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box in their largest outdoor display to date. Monumental sculptures, inspired from paper are now either fabricated or cast into metal pieces — of flying birds, emerging butterflies, blooming flowers, grazing deer and other flora and fauna themes.
Another highlight of the show is “Inside Out,” an educational exhibit in our NM Garden Welcome Center that features original paper models and unfolded wall hangings by nationally and internationally renowned origami artists, showing the internal architecture of each piece.
“Origami animals, blooming flowers, crumpled ideas and innovative abstraction are all themes that inform the surface of my work,” Kevin Box said. “Every piece has a title, a reason and a purpose in contributing to the story I am telling beneath the surface. Motivating the content of the work are my concepts of truth, my philosophy of chaos and consciousness, creation and evolution, the process of creativity and relationships, and responsibilities to one another.”
