    Program calendar:

    TBD

    Afterschool workshops will be held February-May at South Valley Academy. Monthly weekend fieldtrips to cultural and community locations will be announced. What would a field trip look like? Places that are culturally important to our identity as Albuquerque citizens. This may look something like this Old Town to document the spaces that have inspired hauted stories, to the Bosque to document the animal life and migrating fowl,  Tinker Town in the East Mountain to create our own stories of wonder, a touring walk of Albuquerque street art. Students will brainstorm the areas we focus on.
