The winners of the 2026 Creative Bravos Awards were announced last week, and the public will have the chance to honor the recipients at an award ceremony on Saturday, March 14, at the Albuquerque Museum.
The Creative Bravos, now in their fourth decade, are co-presented by the city of Albuquerque’s Department of Arts and Culture and Albuquerque first lady Elizabeth Kistin Keller.
Rosalinda Rojas
Multifaceted Afro-Caribbean dancer, choreographer, dance instructor and founder of Albuquerque School for Circus Arts, Rosalinda Rojas has contributed to the cultural life of New Mexico for over two decades.
“I have former students from Albuquerque Academy who have made it to Cirque du Soleil, who’ve come back, and I’ve said, ‘Can you guest teach? Can you talk about your experience … and how you made it?’ Because many times people think dance is not a real career. Yes, it’s a career,” Rojas said. “You just have to understand how to shape your career or invent your career.”
