Join us in Taos or online: 2023 Leisure Learning
Those who have taken advantage of the Leisure Learning Classes offered at the OSU
Doel Reed Center in Taos consider them to be memorable and enriching educational experiences.
Many return year after year to continue their education alongside other Cowboys and
friends. These educational sessions are designed to nourish inquisitive minds. They
are taught in-person at OSU’s beautiful adobe complex located in historic Taos, New
Mexico. The in-person Leisure Learning classes are offered during the summer and
fall seasons to coincide with the many tourist attractions found in gorgeous northern
New Mexico.
The Doel Reed Center also offers interactive remote lectures that are available virtually in the Spring. In spring 2023, we will offer five lectures, beginning with “Art and Geology: Inspired by the New Mexico Landscape” with artist and acclaimed instructor Sara Schneckloth on January 25 at 4:30 Central Time. Contact carol.moder@okstate.edu for the Zoom link.
All Leisure Learning classes and Virtual Lectures are taught by highly qualified and thoroughly vetted instructors. The courses focus on art, literature, culture and outdoor adventure activities typical of this unique area in northern New Mexico. In-person classes include hands-on participation in diverse class offerings such as fly fishing, cooking, and various artistic disciplines such as printmaking, metal art, landscape drawing, weaving, and pottery - to name a few. There are no tests, no homework and previous experience is not required. Most classes include site visits to local venues such as pueblos, galleries, museums and interaction with local artists. Enrollment is kept small to ensure quality learning experiences for participants. You’re guaranteed to come away with new skills, knowledge, friends, and many fond memories of your OSU educational experience in Taos.
Oklahoma State University is very fortunate to be part of artistic and culturally rich Taos, New Mexico. The Doel Reed Center’s primary mission is to provide a unique and enriching educational environment for OSU students, alumni, friends, and the Taos community.
