For over 20 years, ¡COLORES! specials have explored the arts, music, history and culture of New Mexico and the American southwest.
¡COLORES! is presented through a collaboration between New Mexico PBS and the Public Television Major Market Group (MMG), a public television affinity group. The MMG facilitates the sharing of video and web content produced by the participating MMG stations and some non-MMG stations, and is coordinated by THIRTEEN, the flagship New York station for PBS.

Waqaa! (Hello) My name is Maliaq Kairaiuak and I am a Yupik & Athabaskan FDMA student at UNM. I love cooking, spending time in the sunshine and exploring the outdoors. I am so excited to work with ¡COLORES! and share some of unique artists that help make New Mexico so beautiful.
