Join us in the Hands-on Studio at MOIFA for art projects, coloring sheets, and self-guided treasure hunts. Add to your explorations at the museum with fun art making, facilitated by our fantastic MOIFA docents. 

From 10 am - 4 pm, and the program is free with museum admission. Museum admission is always free for Kids and Members, program is included with admission.

This year is the 100th anniversary of Zozobra, a favorite Santa Fe tradition featuring a multistory effigy/marionette that is burned each year to purge the community’s glooms. To celebrate the occasion, MOIFA will present two pop-up displays related to two of the most popular aspects of Santa Fe Fiestas, along with hands-on all-ages art programs.  

“Lounging with Zozobra,” a vignette of three works highlighting Zozobra imagery, will be on view August 20 to September 22, 2024. It also includes an orginal 1920s “Quisicosa” head by Will Shuster. In Spanish, quisicosa is an enigma or conundrum, and this large-scale, quirky head is certainly enigmatic. It is one of four that MOIFA acquired in 1985 as a gift from the Santa Fe Fiesta Council. These heads were worn as part of certain Fiesta activities until 1984, when new ones were created.
