In the Display Case… through March is the multimedia art of local artist Pi Luna. At first glance Luna’s art looks like a painting -- but come closer and you’ll see a multitude of shapes and textures. Luna cuts tiny pieces of paper out of recycled magazines and uses them to create art. This exhibit highlights her unique technique, transforming discarded magazines into stunning depictions of New Mexico's landscapes and wildlife.
Luna first developed her process when working on her MFA at Goddard College. Originally a realistic oil painter, she wanted to explore metaphor and storytelling in her artwork and began branching out to explore new media, working in acrylic and mixed media. Eventually, she discovered paper and fell in love. Discover more about Pi Luna's art at www.pilunaart.com
There will be an artist reception for Pi Luna on Feb. 28, 1-3 pm, in the library.

Journey Down the Gila is the first full-length film that visually captures the beauty of the Gila River through the 37-mile river run through the Gila Wilderness. The documentary, directed by Albuquerque film maker, David Garcia, tells the story of three local, New Mexico teens, who died in service to the wild places they loved, their mothers’ trip down the river they sought to protect, and the struggle to keep the Gila flowing free.
Four years and multiple river trips in the making, Journey Down the Gila is a lush cinematic, river-level journey down one of America’s great natural treasures. This 90-minute documentary is a love letter to the Gila and a rallying call to protect it.
After the film, stay after for brief remarks from special guests and learn how you can support efforts to keep New Mexico’s last free-flowing river wild. The film is not available online or for purchase, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience it on the big screen!
This film screening will be hosted by NM Wild with support of Heart of the Gila.
Tickets are non-refundable and available exclusively online.
