Art Scene Santa Fe - 2010

Santa Fe is a world-renowned art center and has over 200 art galleries in the city alone. Art collectors come from all over to buy fine Native American, contemporary and western pieces, and to stroll from gallery to gallery along the ancient streets. Friday night gallery openings are a local tradition, and Indian Market in August is the largest Native American art showcase in the world. In terms of dollar sales Santa Fe is among the largest art markets in the U.S.

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.

New Mexico History Museum This is a really nice addition to the Santa Fe Museum scene. The new museum (2009) has three floors of permanent exhibits, a changing exhibit area, a new acquisition area, a two floor history and photo archives library, auditorium, learning center and museum store. Santa Fe will be 400 years old in 2010.

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.

The burning will occur on Sept 9, 2010. In September 2009 Zozobra was 49 feet and 9 inches in heigth. The burning occurred on September 10, 2009 at 9:10 p.m. before more than 20,000 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 2008 Zozobra was 49 feet tall and weighed 1,600 pounds. 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 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 and in 2008 there were 25,000 paid admittances. 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.
