Center for Contemporary Arts The CCA is dedicated to representing the arts of our time as a critical component of social, political, economic, and educational discourse. Because the arts stem from all facets of human nature and interaction, they should be perceived as an active participant in the greater course of human events. The arts should be equally capable of questioning, answering, following, leading, running interference, causing distraction and illuminating.

Thunderbird Jewelry of Santa Domingo Pueblo

Tower Gallery at Poeh Center
Although Pojoaque is only a short distance north of Santa Fe, I had not visited the for several years. I was really impressed and enjoyed the visit tremendously. This is an unusual destination for both tourists and locals. The facility was established in 1988, but only recently did they have their grand opening. The front two rooms contain handcrafted items from the local pueblos, and there may be an artist working in an adjoining room. Do not hesitate to go down the long hall, because there is an interesting series of rooms depicting the history of the pueblo with sculptures by Swentzell illustrating the events. I very much enjoy her clay sculptures, and I know you will also. Pick up free headsets at the front desk. They are keyed to each room.

El Rancho de La Golondrinas is a living museum that has preserved the Spanish Colonial and Territorial way of life on a 200 acre ranch just outside of Santa Fe. Original colonial buildings on the site date from the early 18th century.

Fiesta de Santa Fe was established in 1712 by proclamation of Governor Marquez de La Penuela. The fiesta commemorates the reoccupation of Santa Fe by Don Diego De Vargas in 1692 after the Native American uprising in 1680. The 296 year old Fiesta is the oldest continual community celebration in the United States. It is both a religious and secular celebration. The center of the religious celebration is La Conquistadora a 29-inch carved wooden Marian statue saved from the burning chapel in 1680. There is a 6:00 a.m. procession of the statue from St. Francis Basilica to Rosario Chapel. Food, entertainment, and an Arts and Crafts are on the Plaza Friday through Sunday. In addition, on Saturday there is Children’s Pet Parade around the plaza and a historic fashion show at the James Little Theatre. In the evening there is Gran Balile where the royalty are presented. At 10:00 a.m. on Sunday La Conquistadora is returned to the Basilica, and at 1:00 p.m. there is a historical/hysterical parade around town.

Zozobra
The burning will occur on Sept 6, 2012. In September 2010 Zozobra was about 50 feet and in heigth. The burning occurred on September 9, 2010 at 9:10 p.m. before more than 30,000 spectators. Zozobra, the gloomy one, was the creation of artist Will Shuster in 1924, and it has been an adjunct to Fiesta de Santa Fe ever since. The figure is created from plywood, wire muslin and shredded paper, and was originally stuffed with papers such as obsolete police reports, divorce decrees or anything people wanted to forget. Today, people can drop items at a central location, and they will be added to Zozobra. The Friday before is know as paint night, where families and members of the community place finishing touches on the unassembled figure. On hand for paint night is the Queen of Gloom. Before Zozobra is ignited she performs a dance that was choreographed by a New York Ballet dancer. The event occurs in Fort Marcy Park. At noon on Thursday all the surrounding hills are crowded with parked vehicles with canvas sunscreens, chairs, and outdoor grills. Many families watch the event from these vantage points. The climax occurs around 9:00 p.m. with a display of fireworks and the burning of Zozobra.
