Programs
The Millicent Rogers Museum programs align with the Museum mission to partner with communities of the Southwest to share their stories, arts, and cultures.
Michael Hensley Teen Art Studio
Millicent Rogers Museum partners with Michael M. Hensley, community member, artist, and Taos High School art teacher, to provide summer art classes for youth aged 10-19. This opportunity for Taos youth includes a week-long exploration of styles and techniques for various high-interest themes such as dragons and mythical beasts. Drawing on his vast experiences in the arts and teaching, Michael guides participants through concepts of form, movement, shading, and more to achieve success in their creative explorations with pencil and paper.2024 Summer Session: Realistic Wildlife Drawing

The Brett Book Club
Join us as we journey together through Lawrence and Brett: A Friendship, an autobiographical story that traverses relationship, landscape, and Dorothy Brett’s daily life in Taos. Published in 1933, Lawrence and Brett: A Friendship adds the texture of Brett's own voice to living narratives of community stories. The exhibition-based book club will meet in four sessions of book group discussions facilitated by curator Claire Motsinger and education director Karen Chertok. Centered in community conversation, we invite you to read and discuss Brett’s perspectives and lived experience. Meander through joys and sorrows, touch on longings, musings and the clickety-clack of manuscripts typed in rural Northern New Mexico. Books may be purchased at the Museum store or online.The Brett Book Club will meet 6 - 7:30pm in gallery 10 on the following dates:
