"Origami In The Garden" takes center stage in New Mexico

New Mexico's September celebration of art spotlights ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN with a gallery show, a documentary film and a studio tour in Northern New Mexico!

Jennifer and Kevin Box created ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN (OiG) in 2013. The first exhibition opened at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden in 2014, and the exhibition has been experienced by over 2 million visitors in gardens and museums throughout the United States ever since.

“It feels as if the stars are aligning creatively for a September explosion of joy! Kevin and I have been working with our collaborating artists, foundries, fabricators, administrators, gardens and galleries for many years to bring us to this one moment of alignment. Barbara Bentree and John Rangel have captured much of the past few years on film, and Kay Contemporary Art continues to be our top gallery in the nation! We are so fortunate to maintain a great connection with the local community and be part of the Turquoise Trail Studio Tour.”
