“Put A Pin In It!” is on view till tomorrow August 31st. 📍📍📍
This exhibition of pins and brooches from around the world has been a fun and fantastic show! Each of these unique artists have told us rich stories through this medium. Part adornment, part fastener, and so emblematic of the way that humans throughout time have taken useful, everyday things and made them beautiful as well.

“Put A Pin In It!” is on view until August 31st.
Featuring 30 Pins and Brooches from artists around the globe.
Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez writes about this work “Formed, fabricated, and fused from 18k and 22k gold, powdered enamel with resin on copper, diamonds, felt, and ball-head pins, this piece honors the countless women whose labor as seamstresses and garment workers often remains unseen and undervalued.
The stitched felt and ball-head pins relate directly to sewing and garment-making, referencing the repetitive and demanding nature of this work, while the precious metals and diamonds symbolize the dignity, strength, and worth of these women. The contrast between the materials reflects both the resilience and fragility of lives shaped by long hours of labor and limited recognition.
This piece is a tribute to the women whose skill, dedication, and perseverance have contributed so much, yet whose efforts have too often gone unnoticed. It acknowledges their enduring presence and celebrates the value of their work.”

SUN & DUST PRESENTS a very special show at Relay. ENIGMA: The Work Of George “Skipper” Captain
Works 1975-2023.
Opening September 10th 5-8 PM
On view at Relay through September 26 2026.

ENIGMA: The Work of George “Skipper” Captain, is the first exhibition of a Santa Fe painter whose art practice of more than four decades was conducted thoroughly on his own terms. Working almost entirely outside public view, Captain (b. 1945, Manhattan, NY; d. 2025, Santa Fe, NM), known to all as “Skipper,” built a practice in unbound dry pigment on paper, alongside charcoal drawing, oil painting, and material work incorporating ground soil, dried grass, and salvaged metal. He had no formal training. His education came from books and from exhibition catalogues carried back from New York in the 1970s.

ENIGMA presents more than 150 works across two locations, (SUN & DUST and RELAY) , the majority of which have never been shown. Captain worked in dry pigment, unbound and pressed or rubbed directly into heavy paper. The method permits little correction. Some of that pigment was purchased. Some was gathered from roadsides north and west of Santa Fe and ground by hand. Many of the sheets present two fields of color and the boundary between them. In a smaller group, that boundary drifts rather than rules, and what it encloses reads as a body rather than hard geometry. Panels built from found matter and compelling detritus carry the earliest dates in the abstract archive. Representational charcoals and oils of considerable skill round out the exhibition. Captain showed publicly only once, at LewAllen Galleries on Galisteo St., in the mid 1990’s. This exhibition by SUN & DUST is the only showing of his work since that time.

Please visit SUN & DUST’s exhibition page to learn more.

Special selected works on view at SUN & DUST Sept 2nd through September 30th 2026.

“Put A Pin In It!” is on view until August 30th.
The craftsmanship in this show is stunning. We have been so honored to share these works. We have been overjoyed to witness what utter delight artistic innovation and whimsy can bring to our everyday lives via pins! A pin is a way of sharing something about oneself, it adds an extra dash of personal style and story to our outfits.
Each of these artists have incredible stories to tell. You are able to read about each pin and brooch on the exhibition page on our website.

New works from Jonathan Steele have arrived at SUN & DUST! Steele writes of the works “In its essence this work is about momentarily shedding the pressures of frenetic culture and briefly choosing a nourishing tenderness. It is a committed acknowledgment of the ever-present and foundational beauties of existence through raw and gently crafted earthen material. It is about what it is, namely, dirt and rock, leaf and water, wind and mountain.
And it’s just a cup of tea—it need not be more.”
This whole collection of beautiful Stoneware from Steele is now available to view online.

Seen here the work of
Kenna Roberts“I Am An Artist”Brass, Spring Steel, Wood, Paper, Graphite8” x 3.5” x 1”
Roberts writes of this work
“The brooch takes the form of an award ribbon, the words I AM AN ARTIST emblazoned across a large circular locket at its center. Inside the locket is a small pad of paper. Three chunks of graphite hang from chains within the locket’s cavity, suspended so that as the wearer moves through their day, the graphite swings and drags across the paper — making marks, making a drawing, making art. A wooden ribbon tail hangs from the bottom, completing the silhouette.”
