Santa Fe Community College will host an opening reception for the “Santa Fe Art Educators Exhibition” from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, June 26, in the Visual Arts Gallery in the Fine Arts Center on campus at 6401 Richards Ave. The exhibition continues through Wednesday, July 23.
Shane Tolbert, academic director of the School of Art and Design, and Linda Cassel, director of Art on Campus, coordinated the exhibition, which highlights the work of art educators in the Santa Fe Public Schools.
“Santa Fe is an art town—steeped in history, sustained by place, and shaped daily by the hands of working artists. At the foundation of that creative ecosystem are the educators—those who guide, challenge, and model what it means to live a life rooted in art,” Tolbert said. “The ‘Santa Fe Art Educators Exhibition’ at the Visual Arts Gallery at Santa Fe Community College brings together the work of these often-unsung contributors to the city’s cultural fabric.

“This exhibition honors not only their individual studio practices—distinct in medium, voice, and form—but also the shared commitment to nurturing creativity across generations. In a city known for its galleries, museums and makers, it’s these educators who shape the next generation of our creative industries,” Tolbert added.
The SFCC Visual Arts Gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except when the college is closed. Please note: The SFCC Campus will be closed to the public on Friday, July 4, for the Fourth of July holiday.
