Friday, June 9th, 9:00AM-3:00PM, All Day-Fun Friday-Adobe
Come by for a tour of the Home and get treated to a hands-on lesson in adobe! All day long, we invite guests to experience how the Magoffin home was built on a much smaller scale. Don’t let the size fool you, though! While the bricks and the final home will be smaller, the principles you will learn are the same ones used to build a full-scale adobe structure! Free with paid tour.

Saturday, June 10th, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Location: The Zane Bennett Collection Study Room (RM 106) in Devasthali Hall

Join artist and Wild Pigment Project founding director Tilke Elkins to ask questions about the transformative powers of paint. How can wild pigments usher in change on personal, social and planetary levels? Explore questions of ethical foraging and creative purpose.

Paint-making through a deep relationship with place nourishes both the painter and the land. By intercepting materials as they travel through their life cycles and exploring opportunities for reciprocity — ways to give back to the land and its communities, both human and interspecies — artists can align their material practices with values of reverence for place.

Engage the full sensorium through multiple paint-making demos and a chance to paint with wild pigments in this free two-hour workshop.

When Joseph Magoffin helped write the articles of Incorporation for El Paso, he helped shape the modern city. In this series, we will compare Joseph’s vision for El Paso to what is has become in the last 150 years. Guest speakers from municipal agencies will be invited to speak about their departments and let us know why and when we might need to call upon them to help us keep El Paso thriving.
This session, we will discuss the water utilities with a representative and compare it to services available during Joseph’s time in El Paso. There will be a question-and-answer portion of the event that is intended to help us understand what we have available to us as citizens. This is a series meant to help us all become more aware of and confident in using city services available to us all and to celebrate 150 years of being an incorporated city in Texas. Call in advance to 915-533-5147, ext. 1002 or
