Join us for Retablos and Printmaking with Jacob Gutierrez! Saturday, May 23 from 12-2 pm.

In partnership with the New Mexico School for the Arts (NMSA), the UAM invites you to join to create your own foam block prints with in foil frames inspired by the retablos currently on display in Trinities of Heaven and Earth. Using foam to create their printing blocks, participants will create multi-layered prints and then place them in pre-prepared foil frames. This workshop is free with all materials provided. We encourage middle school and high school students to join us!

This workshop is taught by artist and educator Jacob Gutierrez, an Albuquerque printmaker who maintains a deep connection to his culture and traditions through his art, exploring the practice of retablo making. Recently, Gutierrez was the 2025 Artist in Residence at Albuquerque’s Risolana, where the residency culminated in an exhibition of his artwork and publication of his artist book Sacred Herd. Additionally, Gutierrez works as the ArtReach Coordinator at the NMSA, where he works to connect NM students across the state with accessible arts workshops and experiences.

The NMSA is based in Santa Fe, and is the only four-year, statewide, public high school serving artist-scholars across New Mexico with a rigorous, award-winning pre-professional arts and academics program. NMSA provides students in 9th through 12th grades with intensive, pre-professional instruction in six major arts disciplines, Creative Writing & Literature, Dance, Film & Cinematic Storytelling, Music (voice or instrumental), Theatre, and Visual Arts. Arts disciplines are taught daily by master teachers and professional artists in a 3-hour daily arts block that takes place after the academic day.
