Our 2016 group at Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Center |
This past summer, a terrific group of educators, artists, and art lovers
from all over the country attended our SchoolArts/CRIZMAC seminar in Santa Fe
and Taos, New Mexico. Together we met incredible artists in their homes and
studios, visited historical sites, and enjoyed museum visits,
Next summer we again are offering a new twist on Tres Culturas. Join us
as we explore the artistic spirit of Santa Fe and Albuquerque, July 17-23,
2017, adding some new destinations for our repeat participants (One hardy
traveler has joined us 18 times!). For example, in Albuquerque we'll visit the Petroglyph National Monument and the Pueblo Indian Cultural Center.
The spirit of New Mexico may best be captured through the senses – the
distinctive smell of wet earth during a storm, the scent of burning pinon, the
incredibly turquoise sky, and the rough, organic texture of rounded, organic
forms. This spirit finds expression in a unique way of life created from the
contributions of three cultures: Pueblo Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo.
Tres Culturas is designed to help curious travelers explore and
understand the diversity of New Mexico’s artistic heritage from ancient times
to the present. Planned highlights include a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s home in
Abiquiu; a celebration at a living history museum; the Petroglyph National
Monument, and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque; a visit to
Roxanne Swentzell’s Tower Gallery, and much more. Anyone is welcome to join us;
you do not need to be an educator. For pricing and other details, click here.
