THOMAS CHRISTOPHER HAAG
Albuquerque’s Thomas Christopher Haag reinvents the world’s mythologies.

BEN VEREEN
Tony Award-winning stage and screen legend Ben Vereen brings theatrical training and emotional development to young people.


CAITLIN WARNER
Book artist Caitlin Warner converts vintage vending machines to dispense her handmade books.

ERIN SIMMONS
Some say he was born 150 years too late.  Blacksmith and farrier Erin Simmons loves to shape steel.

“90% of my tools are hand-made. What we’re looking at here is just a small portion of what I’ve come up with to make my trade a little easier.”
