This weekend, 9/17/2011, starts the community art show at the
Chiricahua Gallery in
Rodeo New Mexico. The show will run for 3 weeks and will feature art work from local artists around the area. An opening reception will be held on Saturday starting at 3:00 PM at the gallery.
In a setting like the San Simon Valley it is difficult not to create art. When the view as you walk outside are of mountain ranges like the Chiricahua Mountains (photograph at the top of this blog and below), the inspiration to create is not difficult. I have submitted 6 low level aerial photographs taken around the boot heel to the show that highlight some of the landscape features only visible from above.

Looks like the community art show will be a success! Good for Jackie Lewis and her team to round up so many contributors! I saw two youngster's names on the program: Hana Carp and Aurora Kvamme. What fun to put your artwork in a show at such young ages.
ReplyDeleteA good sized crowd showed up for the reception and there were a number of contributors I had not met. I was surprised at the number of folks who who brought in their artwork and the quality of material that is being created down here. A real plus for the community.
ReplyDeleteJackie sure made some wonderful appetizers for the reception on Saturday. Sure a large number of artist that live in the boot heel.

ReplyDeleteThe Community Art Show I think is going to be a big success. Nice to see your work in there as well!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, there seems to be a number of non-professional artists around here, all producing interesting art work and the community art show is a great way to show case the local talent.
