Orpheum Community Hub

Celebrate the work of NM’s Asian and Black/African youth artists! This exhibit showcases self-portraits of these artists as they work to explore identity, strengthen community, and address racism through their art.

True New Mexico is an annual anti-racism, youth-centered, arts-based project developed as a collaboration between the New Mexico Asian Family Center (NMAFC) and the New Mexico Black Leadership Council (NMBLC). Each spring, a cohort of Black/African American and/or AAPINH young artists create original self-portraits guided by the prompt “What’s your True New Mexican story?”

FREE family fun, art activities and food! RSVP HERE
