Land Arts of the American West is an interdisciplinary, field-based, studio art program at the University of New Mexico. During the program, students travel extensively throughout the Southwest while camping and investigating environmental sites, human habitation systems, and questions facing the region. This exhibition features culminating works by the artists - created on site or in response to their experiences out in the field.
