The Museum of Spanish Colonial Art at 750 Camino Lejo on Museum Hill will showcase a new exhibit beginning March 2, 2010 and closing May 30, 2010.
New Mexico's history has been full of fascinating, energetic, and resourceful women-artists, anthropologists, homemakers, pioneers, healers, scientists, and educators. These women, who often worked under difficult and unusual circumstances, helped to shape New Mexico and their impact is still evident today. In celebration of Women's History Month, the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art is creating an exhibition in honor of one of these women: Concha Ortiz y Pino de Kleven.

It's accompanied by a catalog, Ernest Thompson Seton, The Life and Legacy of an Artist and Conservationist (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2010), with a foreword written by Sir David Attenborough.
