Enjoy a tour of “On the Ranch,” a solo exhibition by Santa Fe artist (and California native) Andrea Vargas, with Vargas as your guide! On Saturday, June 10, 2023, Vargas will share her story as an artist; how traveling between the New Mexico desert and the California coast informs her art; and why she will always be drawn to the Ventura County landscape. The talk will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m. Access to the tour is included with regular museum admission, which is $4.00 for adults, $3.00 for seniors, and free for students and SPAM members. Reservations are not required.
