A Living Dream Self Portrait: by Gloria Longval

A juried show of artworks by Taos artists, all depicting the artist himself/herself. One of TCA's most popular shows!

Join the artists for an opening reception Thursday, May 25th from 4 to 6pm and vote for your favorite self portrait in The Peoples' Choice Awards.

This year's self portrait artists were challenged to not only create works of art that reflected their personality, life stories, and feelings in a media of their choice, but to also choose one color -- to play with dark and light, warm and cool, and hue and texture. Easy, one thinks, but not so! What is color and do we all see color the same?Each artist has chosen to depict himself or herself in an objective or subjective manner within a chosen style. A few of the styles in the show include abstract, expressionism and representational.

The jury reviewed forty well-qualified submissions, with the final selection including the works of twenty-nine artists. The artists are:

Jaya Aaron, Kathleen Brennan, Hank Brusselback, Joana Cardozo, Catherine De Brito, Donna Dufresne, Bob Fitch, Ron Furedi, Meredith Garcia, Zelma Goldstein, Carolyn Hinske, Cynthia Homire, Seri Kotowski, Gloria Longval, TJ Mabrey, Anna Magruder, Brook Maher, Diane Nelson-Scott, Susan Pasquarelli, Joy Purcell, Rhonda Read-Turner, Sunny Redmond, Princetta Rose, Rosalind Rosen, Charlotte Shroyer, Brian Skinner, Jean Stevens and Izumi Yokoyama.

The Self Portrait show will grace the walls of The Encore Gallery through July 9th.
 

Have you noticed the exceptional art that has been exhibited on the small wall in the right hand vestibule leading into the auditorium? If not please have a look. This wall is curated by artist Theresa Gray and changes with each exhibition in the Encore.

Born in Niigata, Japan, Izumi Yokoyama received her MFA from San Francisco Art Institute and her BFA from Webster University. Izumi has been living in Taos, New Mexico, where her current works have been inspired by the experience of being close to nature. Izumi is a mother of two beautiful children and she works as an art instructor at a local school in Taos.

Fine art photographer Meredith Garcia and painter Tera Muskrat are emerging artists in Taos who have come together to mount a Norteño-themed show as part of the “TCA Exhibits” series at The Taos Inn. Both were poster artists for the Taos Fall Arts Festival [Garcia in 2015 and Muskrat in 2016], and they share a love of the people and culture of Northern New Mexico – “El Norte.”

Merediths photographs are from a suite of work entitled “Española Redux.” Meredith taught for several years at Northern New Mexico College, where she learned to love and appreciate the people of Española and their distinctive lifestyle. If Taos is the "Soul of the Southwest," Española is its viscera.  With its people steeped in the traditional culture of Northern New Mexico, with the accompanying blood, sweat, toil and tears of its agricultural and blue-collar roots, the heart of Española beats to a different drum. Her photographs capture the gritty reality of life in the town that was once known as the Low Rider Capital of the World, whose culture is being changed by the influx of modern life. Several of the subjects of her photographs have disappeared since she took their images – most notably, the iconic watering-hole Red’s Bar, now replaced by a gas station – and others have closed and are suffering demolition by neglect, such as the Arrow Motel. Her work serves to celebrate as well as to enshrine these elements of Norteño culture.

Tera has truly become a New Mexican and as an artist, she has managed to paint daily life in a very authentic manner that expresses the real dignity and beauty of the people with whom she has become friends and family, with an emphasis on women. She paints contemporary expressions of New Mexican women in daily life. Tera’s paintings capture an authentic experience, which shows all of the beauty in Northern New Mexico. Her New Mexico Calendar Girls are celebrations of the strength, durability, power, diversity, and uniqueness of the women here, inspired by the calendar artists of Mexico from the 1930s and ‘40s and the folk artists of northern New Mexico. Tera’s art is powerful, witty, and transgressive, pushing at the boundaries of the Taos art scene with a playful finger. Her work is unique.

The opening reception for the show will be at The Taos Inn on Friday, June 9 2017, from 4:00-6:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served and a cash bar will be available. The work will be on display through September 11.

Director: Werner Herzog, USA, Runtime 98min, Unrated, Drama, 2016
Stars: Michael Shannon, Veronica Ferres

With Werner Herzog’s unusual cadence of dialogue, this movie not only challenges you to look beyond the obvious but also delivers some very comedic lines. Three scientists from the U.N. embark on a journey to discover the extent and cause of a disaster, only to be kidnapped by armed men and held hostage. What unfolds from here is a swirling tale which flirts with surrealism and science fiction.

Tickets are $8.50 for G.A., $7.00 for TCA Members and $5.00 for youth 17 and under.

Opening Reception Thursday July 13, from 4 to 6 pm.

Migration, is a mixture of wall vessels and boxes made of paper clay, as well as Roberson’s traditional terra cotta box forms on pedestals. The title alludes to the transition from pedestals to the walls of Encore Gallery. Roberson says the many colors of the Southwest, in particular the flowers in her Taos garden, have influenced the shapes and palette for this exhibit.

Roberson describes her work as non-functional sculpted boxes and vessels inspired by the organic shapes of nature. Roberson’s work is hand built from slabs of terra cotta or paper clay. Each piece is burnished with terra sigillata, a fine clay slip. The work is fired twice in electric kilns, then often pit-fired outside in hay, sawdust, bamboo and other plants. All findings are organic and the cording used is waxed linen.

Sang Roberson grew up on a lake in the Mississippi Delta where she was surrounded by nature. Her work is inspired by her love of nature’s organic forms. She also believes that her signature box shapes are derived from the many Sundays she and her family spent at the construction sites of custom homes that her father, a builder, designed. Roberson got her start in pottery from a class she learned about in a newspaper ad. The class offered free babysitting, so she took her son and took the class. Since that introduction to ceramics, she has refined her craft and distinctive style. She describes her relationship to clay as “Love and Obsession.”

Sang attended Sophie Newcomb College and received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi. Her sculpted clay forms have been exhibited in galleries nationally and internationally and in juried exhibitions such as SOFA Chicago, SOFA New York, the Smithsonian Craft Show and the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. She is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Fellowship and a Visual Artist Grant from the Florida Department of State. She has led clay workshops at the Penland School in Penland, NC.; La Universidad Nacional in Bogota, Columbia; and Gaya Ceramic, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, among numerous others. Her artwork is in many public and private collections.

Roberson is currently represented by Blue Spiral 1, Asheville, NC., and Watson MacRae Gallery, Sanibel, Florida.

Once again, the Jazz Bebop Society brings an exciting jazz-centric film to the TCA Big Screen for the community to enjoy, gratis!

In 'Round Midnight, real-life jazz legend Dexter Gordon brilliantly portrays the fictional tenor sax player Dale Turner, a musician slowly losing the battle with alcoholism, estranged from his family, and hanging on by a thread in the 1950's New York jazz world. Dale gets an offer to play in Paris, where, like many other black American musicians at the time, he enjoys a respect for his humanity that is not based upon the color of his skin. A Parisian man who is obsessed with Turner's music befriends him and attempts to save Turner from himself.

Runtime is 2 hours 13 minutes.

Admission is free, first come first served. Doors open at 6:15pm for this 7pm screening.

Paper, Paper, Paper Exhibition

The Paper, Paper, Paper Exhibition (Sept 4 to Oct 29) will call for works of art created with paper as a medium. Cellulose must be involved in the concept of the artwork and works may be handmade papers, manipulated papers, prints that feature paper in some way, artist’s books made with papers etc.

Lynn Sures, Professor Emerita and former Chair of Fine Arts at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC, has been invited to jury the exhibition and conduct a pulp and paper workshop. Lynn has traveled within the US, Italy, Japan, Australia, Sri Lanka, and Turkey to exhibit, lecture, and offer workshops on hand papermaking. Lynn has recently been awarded an Artist’s Research Fellowship from the Smithsonian Institution for research in Washington, DC and Kenya. The expertise that Lynn brings to both is not found among Taos artists and there has been an expressed interest among printmakers and bookmakers for instruction in pulp drawing and paper making.

Call for submissions pending. Stay tuned.

Reception for the artist on September 14, 4:00 - 6:00pm

“Ponselle, Milanov, Sutherland, Callas -- after last night, Radvanovsky can add her name to the list,” declared the Huffington Post when Sondra Radvanovsky made her Met role debut as Norma in 2013. The 2017–18 season opens with a new production of Bellini’s masterpiece, starring Radvanovsky as the Druid priestess and Joyce DiDonato as her archrival, Adalgisa—a casting coup for bel canto fans. Tenor Joseph Calleja is Pollione, Norma’s unfaithful lover, and Carlo Rizzi conducts. Sir David McVicar’s evocative production sets the action deep in a Druid forest where nature and ancient ritual rule.

Estimated runtime is 3hours 4 minutes, with one intermission.

Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 for TCA Members, $10 for youth 17 and under and may be purchased in person at the TCA Office behind Caffe Renato Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm or by calling (575)758-2052 during those hours.

Reception for the artist on Thursday November 2, 4:00 - 6:00pm.

Following the rapturous response to his last opera, The Tempest, the Met presents the American premiere of Thomas Adès’s The Exterminating Angel, inspired by the classic Luis Buñuel film of the same name. Hailed by the New York Times at its 2016 Salzburg Festival premiere as “inventive and audacious … a major event,” The Exterminating Angel is a surreal fantasy about a dinner party from which the guests can’t escape. Tom Cairns, who wrote the libretto, directs the new production, and Adès conducts his own adventurous new opera.

Estimated runtime is 2 hours 27 minutes including one intermission.

Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 for TCA Members, $10 for youth 17 and under and may be purchased in person at the TCA Office behind Caffe Renato Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm or by calling (575)758-2052 during those hours.
