The Open Space volunteer program has been heralded across the country as a model of citizen stewardship and celebrated twenty years of partnership with the community this year. Start the year off with a gift to yourself by engaging in Open Space.
We have sixty active volunteers and as many roles to fill in what promises to be a busy and rewarding 2015. Art exhibits, Interpretation, Outreach, Educational tours, Youth Media projects, Gardening, Water Harvesting, Composting, Permaculture, art workshops, kids’ activities, Guided Nature walks….and so much more: an evolving center for our ever-involving relationship with our public lands. We could not offer the services to the public that we do without our volunteers.

Book of Cranes is a collaboration of 12 New Mexico artists and poets. The project took place in 2012 in Albuquerque over a year’s time. The poet artists awaited the cranes’ arrival, watched them in the fields and along the Rio Grande, and witnessed their departure. Throughout the year they exchanged poetry in a Japanese form called renga.
Learn more at the Book of Cranes website.
The exhibit will be in the gallery through March 29th.
