Join us for an in-depth exploration of the newest exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary, "Reclaiming the Future: The Legacy of Japanese American Incarceration" with Guest Curator Machiko Harada and Director of Curatorial Affairs Alexandra Terry. This exhibition brings together ten Japanese and Japanese American artists whose work engages the enduring legacies of wartime incarceration, migration, memory, and place. Inviting viewers to consider the relationship between history and place, the site of the exhibition rests just over a mile from the site of the Santa Fe Internment Camp.

Las Cruces Board Gamers meets every Thursday at NMSU Corbett Center on the ground floor, at the windowed room across from Chick Fil e. We usually meet at NMSU though can also go to other areas depending on school schedule. We often favor medium-difficulty games (pandemic is a good example), and often have a wide variety of options for different tastes. Usually not as much "kill your opponent" games. Free and we'll have games so if you don't have one to bring, that's okay, just bring yourself!

Step into a world of pure imagination with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a delightful theatrical adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved story. Tickets good for any showing.
