Join curator Josef Díaz and guides Rosa Carlson and Nancy Benkof for a special day exploring the devotional art and places of worship in the Española Valley, a special event for Palace Guard members in conjunction with the exhibit Painting the Divine: Images of Mary in the New World.
Meet in Santa Fe and travel by bus to the Ron Robles-designed home and studio of artist Paul Pletka, who will show his ethnographic collection and talk about the artistic process. Then head north to the historic Santa Cruz de la Cañada Church, where santero Victor Goler will talk about the Stations of the Cross he created for the nave. Visit a morada and enjoy a vegetarian lunch at the Sikh farm community. End the day at La Capilla de la Sagrada Familia near San Ildefonso Pueblo, one of the most photographed small churches in northern New Mexico and generally closed to the public.
