100 Years of Collecting|100 Years of Connecting is on view through December 13, 2025 at the Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum, located at 750 Camino Lejo on Museum Hill in Santa Fe. Admission is free. Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, visit nmheritagearts.org.

The exhibition marks the Spanish Colonial Arts Society's centennial by telling its century-long story of creating and caring for an extraordinary trove of nearly 4,000 objects representing the distinctive Hispano heritage of New Mexico. This provides a unique lens on the Society’s legacy of connecting to a community of artists and supporters of Hispano arts in New Mexico and beyond.

Each month, Vista Grande Public Library features art exhibits, with 20% of any art sales going to benefit the library. We thank the community artists for supporting us. In October and November, we feature jeweler Janice St. Marie.

When Janice St. Marie was 12 years old and living in a small town in Minnesota, her father would drop her off at the flea market where she would set up her jewelry on a little card table and create custom necklaces and earrings for the locals as they browsed through the market. “I have never stopped making jewelry,” she laughs. “In fact, I have some beads from so long ago that they could now be considered vintage!”

Through the years St. Marie has sold to retail stores and had private showings. She uses turquoise, amber, coral, and semi-precious stones as well as a variety of other beads to create unique necklaces.

She has lived in Santa Fe since 1985.
