WINTER 2020-2021 Keeping On

Are we there yet?? No, we’re still in the thick of the pandemic, and the ongoing closures and restrictions on gathering in person have been especially hard on families. Many outstanding Santa Fe organizations and individuals — the United Way of Santa Fe County, Santa Fe Children’s Museum, New Mexico Wildlife Center, Randall Davey Audubon Center, New Mexico History Museum, nature writers Christina Selby and Kelsey Sinclair, Santa Fe Public Library, Monte del Sol Charter School, and pediatrician Victor LaCerva — are stepping up to meet children’s timeless needs in these exceptional times. We’re so fortunate to have them in this issue. Read on.

STAYING SAFE, BEING CREATIVE

Artwork in this issue is by children from J. F. Mazur Studio, which offers classes for ages 3 and up in drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Their focus is on enriching children's love of art by facilitating their creative voices through lessons that introduce them to relevant artists and historical movements. Since COVID-19, stories of perseverance and resilience from the many great artists they learn about have held a particularly important place in the curriculum.
