It seems likely you’ll feel a little wanderlust of your own just looking at them. In all of the paintings, Herrera puts families of impasto figures into motion, on their way to some vague destination and often emerging from some darkness and toward a mysterious source of light. Herrera’s new series of oil paintings focuses on the movement of those in search of freedom and unity and was reportedly inspired by her own emigration to the US from Mexico City in 2007.

Santa Fe Railyard Plaza, 1612 Alcaldesa St., Stick around the Railyard following the show to find out where the afterparty’s going down, too (Spoiler: it’s at Opuntia). The event also promises a fashion show, live screenprinting and vendors-and with five full hours of beats and bars on the lineup, you don’t wanna let this one go passin’ you by. The pioneering group heads to Santa Fe this week to perform at the free Raashan Ahmad-hosted 50th anniversary celebration of hip-hop through the Lensic360 nonprofit imprint. But Pharcyde’s jazz-drizzled sound is about as far from gangsta rap as you can get-falling more in line with sonic descendants such as Flying Lotus and Aesop Rock. Hip-hop trailblazers The Pharcyde might have come up in the same general late ‘80s-early ‘90s Los Angeles milieu that birthed N.W.A, Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Doggy Dogg, of course) and much of the original Death Row Records crew.

You can still donate at /santafeportalfest2023, too! (Alex De Vore) To make things simpler, Hoffman and Maxwell suggest starting the day at the Aspen Community Magnet School and spiraling out from there. “There are a lot of young queer people here.we’re creating DIY spaces where people can gather and support one another.” “There’s such a hunger for queer community spaces,” says Maxwell. Additionally, attendees can expect to find vendors like Golda Blaise Jewelry & Accessories, Cosmic Cowboys Creative Studios, Chelsea Call Ceramics, Kokopelli Design Studio and many more plus drag storytime, a community wellness area run by the Queer Community Care collective (with information about Narcan, safe -needle exchange, massage and more), plus food from the farm at Reunity Resources and other elements and surprises. We’re talking performances from rock act Gold Tides, thrash-punks The Illegal Aliens, singer-songwriters Hannie Lyles and Lyra Muse and so many more. And this year’s Portalfest lineup is no joke. She trails off, but it’s a wonderful thought. “To be surrounded by the talent of our beautiful friends.” “I’m just excited to see all our friends play music,” Maxwell adds. “It’s a day of music and community-it’s creating opportunities for musicians of all styles and experience levels,” Hoffman says, “to have a space to tell their stories.” Now, with a dream in their hearts, a combined $3,000 grant from the Santa Fe Community Fund and the Envision Fund and more than $5,000 from a GoFundMe campaign as of this writing, the second now-annual Santa Fe Portalfest steams ahead. Together, they hatched the concept for a Santa Fe version that would not only create opportunities for local musicians and artists who might not have an easy route into Santa Fe’s admittedly scant venues, but that would come with a few bucks for those participating. Hoffman, also a musician, cut their teeth on similar fests in the Boston area, where Maxwell had also discovered the power of community organizing and porch-playin’. Hoffman and Maxwell kicked things off last year in the vein of similar nationwide events. This year’s fest, according to organizers Jules Hoffman and Sal Maxwell, ups the ante to 50 bands, performers and solo artists plus 42 art vendors across nine stages in the same neighborhood and at Casa Solana. DIY event Santa Fe Portalfest hits year two with way more everythingĪt last year’s Santa Fe Portalfest, roughly 27 acts played on porches, portales and driveways throughout the neighborhood surrounding Alto Park while eight or nine arts vendors hocked their wares. ![]()
