In September, our display case will feature the cut-glass artwork of Mary Lou Jackson. There will be a public reception for the artist at the library on Tuesday, Sept. 1, from 1-3 p.m.

Fascinated by the beauty of sunlight shining through cut-glass crystals, Jackson started
collecting single crystals as mementos of special events and travels. For many years, she
volunteered as a docent at a lighthouse on the California coast and would scour
beaches for interesting driftwood on which to hang the crystals to create delightful combinations of beautiful crystals with storm-tossed natural wood.

Now, Jackson uses cholla cactus wood out of her own backyard in Eldorado and local juniper as well as other wood (and the occasional horseshoe) for her creations.

Jackson is a retired Registered Nurse and worked most of her career as a surgical
nurse educator, including many years at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe. When not
looking for interesting wood or making beautiful designs, she volunteers with her
husband Bill teaching English as a Second Language through the Literacy Volunteers of
Santa Fe program.

Two casts of actors perform what many think was Shakespeare’s last, play - a romantic comedy with amazingly contemporary thoughts on race, utopia, government, and relationships.

About the Gym: The Shakespeare Gym is a place for Santa Feans to develop strategies for acting Shakespeare. Through workshops and performances, Gym members learn to “fit the action to the word,” find acting cues in the text, and bring Shakespeare’s language to life. With online and in-person programming, the Gym offers a variety of ways to work out with Shakespeare’s plays.

About the Upstart Crows of Santa Fe: The Crows are a non-profit 501(c)(3) arts and education organization dedicated to bringing Shakespeare to Santa Fe youth by providing a first-hand experience of the plays in all their depth and nuance. With the help of experienced directors, actors explore Shakespeare’s imagery and rhetoric, creating, through their understanding of the text, beautiful and moving performances.

The New Mexico Museum of Art invits the public to the opening of "Reclaiming the Future: The Legacy of Japanese American Incarceration," a major exhibition bringing together ten Japanese and Japanese American artists whose work engages the enduring legacies of wartime incarceration, migration, memory, and place.
Featuring works by Ruth Asawa, Aisuke Kondo, David Horvitz, Lehuauakea, Patrick Nagatani, Ken Okiishi, Roger Shimomura, TT Takemoto, Gaku Tsutaja, and Carrie Yamaoka, Reclaiming the Future traces the reverberations of histories that remain embedded in the landscapes and communities of New Mexico. Across sculpture, painting, photography, installation, video, and mixed media, the exhibition considers how artists recover obscured narratives while proposing new ways of inhabiting the present and hopeful futures.
