Women & Creativity: Apron Project
All through March, aprons have been hung on trees and fences at the corner of 9th and Gold SW as part of Women & Creativity's Apron Project. A group of local Albuquerque artists are using the medium of the apron as a canvas to express themes from women's lives, struggles and history. Monday is the last day of the month, so head over and see them before they are taken down.

If you haven't been over to Slate Street Café for one of their wine tastings, this might be a fun one. The tastings take place in the wine loft and include three generous pours as well as an appetizer specifically prepared for the accompanying wines. Bring a friend and head on over.

Nano Days: The Biggest Event for the Smallest Science
Close out the weekend with some hands-on learning at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History.
