OPPORTUNITIES

Harwood Art Center is committed to offering exhibition, employment and engagement opportunities to our community.

We invite you to apply for any or all of our current offerings. Harwood’s programs primarily engage, employ, and serve the people of New Mexico; proposals are accepted from anywhere, however priority consideration is given to residents.

2025 marks the 100th anniversary of our historic campus. Harwood is commemorating the occasion with public programming that looks back on a century of creative expression, learning and engaged citizenship. Also, we are inviting artists, organizers and community members to imagine 100 years forward. For our 2025 gallery proposals we are especially interested in these themes.
