"Honoring Betsy's Legacy."

4 to 6 p.m.

Friday August 8th

The Gallery on the Green

Taos Country Club.

This exhibition will feature the playful work of Betsy. In her eight years as Local Color columnist for the Taos News, Betsy Carey showed her love and support for the Taos art community by interviewing over 200 artists, never judging their work but rather exploring each artist’s unique creative process. This exhibit finally offers Taos an opportunity to honor Betsy’s own personal journey as an artist, to experience the qualities in her artwork that reflect both her true nature and her approach to life – direct, honest, bold and playful.

Also showing will be the taos gallery artists' interpretation of Betsy's Taos and will hang through October. Artists include: Leigh Gusterson, David Sprague, Tom Rogers, Nancy Delpero, Carlos Barela, Steven Gootgeld, Bill Hudson, Mark Asmus, David Vedoe, MaryAnn Warner, Michael Protiva, Issa De Nicola, Richard & Tupper Hawley, Seamus Berkeley, Mary Dolph Wood.and other artists.

Call to artists Arts and Crafts event in Lincoln, NM

We are having an arts and crafts event in Lincoln, NM on Sept. 6 & 7th.

The artist fee is only $35.00 for two days and we do not take any commission.

All proceeds benefit our non-profit group called Partners in Preservation of Lincoln State Monument.

We are trying to help preserve the historic buildings that are part of the the New Mexico State Monuments division. Some of the buildings were donated to the state but are in need of dire repairs and the state cannot afford to take care of them all.

So our group was formed to help with this project.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

Rio Costilla Valley Studio Tour

Visit http://www.riocostillastudiotour.org/ for a complete listing of Artists and Photos of their Work – Up to date Map as Well!

Date of 2008 Tour: September 6 and 7th, 2008, 10 to 5 each day.
JAROSO, COLORADO- AMALIA, NEW MEXICO.

This year, on September 6 & 7, they deck the studios with their latest work and welcome the visitors from near and far. Their doors are opened wide. You are invited to see their work, explore their creative process, and purchase these carefully crafted wares. We feature a diverse group, fine art studios and artisan markets to please a wide variety of tastes. Oils, pastels, sculpture, ceramics, furniture, iron work, glass, jewelry and jams, jellies, chutneys, wildflower fields, artisan breads and home baked goods are a few of the items they offer to visitors.

Situated at the confluence of Northern New Mexico, and Southern Colorado, it is the only event of its kind that crosses the line between two states, unites them and bridges cultures. Along the meandering course of the Rio Costilla, weaving its way to the Rio Grande, and melded into the fabric of our work are found long lost European influences, and Native traditions reborn in art. On this tour you will travel along old country roads to scenic flats of high valley sage and chamisal onto mountainous forests. Just the journey is a destination. Sometimes called the Valle Vidal or the Southern End of the San Luis Valley, our tour stretches from Amalia, New Mexico, to Jaroso, Colorado. It is an enchanted tour in an enchanted land.

We are celebrating our 10th year! We thank those of you who keep coming back, and have become our friends and patrons of our work; and we welcome you also, stranger who has yet to find your way here. We invite you to mark those dates on your calendar, get out in the fresh air, and come celebrate the arts. You just might find something special or at least have memories of a day that will bring a smile to your heart when you return to where you live. This tour is free of charge and open to the public.
