Once Within a Time, featuring work by Simone Leigh (2012 Awardee), Will Rawls (2021 Awardee), and Charisse Pearlina Weston (2024 Awardee), is a rich telling of cultural heritage that extends its reach across the entire city of Santa Fe, from local parks to the New Mexico Military Museum and the Palace of the Governors. Through objects and images, it explores the stories of twenty different figures tied to Santa Fe, revealing both collective histories and personal narratives.
