Raven Chacon: Three Songs
February 24, 2024–July 7, 2024
From 2017 to 2020, Chacon created For Zitkála-Šá, a collection of lithographs depicting graphic scores in honor of modern Indigenous, First Nations, and Mestiza women who are active in music performance, composition, and sound art. The twelve scores now on exhibit were created by Chacon to serve as portraits of the women and to investigate their distinct stories of navigating the 21st century as Indigenous artists. Each lithograph is entitled to honor each female artist in this collection, i.e., For Carmina Escobar. Chacon incorporated a variety of symbols into his work, including Western music notation, tribal geometries, cultural worldviews, and numerology. Raven Chacon: Three Songs is the artist’s first exhibition in New Mexico in ten years and his first solo show in Taos.
"Chacon embraces contradictions, gray areas, accidents, and moments of doubt and uncertainty in our contemporary life and in our shared and contradictory histories," writes James Reich in "Dissonance in the Desert," a feature story profiling Raven Chacon in the March issue of New Mexico Magazine.

Harwood Museum of Art Permanent Collection
Women of the Taos Moderns permanent collection exhibition is now on view. Enjoy the art of Lily Fenichel and other women artists inspired by Taos including Agnes Martin, Beatrice Mandelman, Janet Lippincott, Louise Ganthers, and Mildred Tolbert.
By the 1940s, Taos had become a nexus of American modernist artistic activity. Many respected artists from New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco came to Taos, including Fenichel. In the 1950s, Fechinel visited Taos and fell in love with its light and landscape. She set up an art studio here from 1980 to 1984 where she explored three-dimensional forms, mixed media including wood and fiberglass, and layered her paintings with glazes and synthetic polypropylene.
Explore Fenichel and other artists in the Harwood Collection online.
