TUESDAY FARMERS MARKET The Bataan Arts Complex—home of CCA, Bataan Memorial Military Museum, Santa Fe Children’s Museum, and Santa Fe Performing Arts—will host the Tuesday Farmers Market. Beginning May 13, the Tuesday Market will be located at the Arts Complex until the market moves into its permanent, brand new home in the Railyard Arts District. CCA’s Interim Executive Director Sandy Thompson, who helped negotiate the deal with the Farmers Market, said, “It’s great to be available to the community…. All of us here welcome the Market’s presence on the campus.” As the Market approaches its 40th anniversary, and CCA its 30th, CCA is pleased to share its space and to practice community with vendors and clients of the Farmers Market. |

CCA PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION PETALS, INTIMATE PHOTOGRAPHS BY NICK KARRAS Dr. Nick Karras (his degree, from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, is in Sexology) has been photographing women’s vulvae as part of an ongoing project aimed at altering women’s views of their own genitalia as anything but beautiful. Karras released a book, titled Petals, in which sepia-toned photographs depict the range of attractiveness of this most intimate—and mythically powerful—part of a woman’s body. Not only will many of these close-up images be exhibited, the Petals documentary will be screened, examining the journey of self-discovery and empowerment experienced by the women Karras photographed. “Petals visually explores the primal source of sexual magic” – Linda E. Savage, Ph.D. |

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ The New Mexico Women's Foundation, and the Center for Contemporary Arts present: Judy Chicago has demonstrated commitment to socially relevant art. Riane Eisler is on a lifelong quest to examine the root causes of many of society's challenges and provide solutions for them. Together, they will create an enlightening and engaging dialogue on the value of women's work. Riane Eisler is a social scientist, attorney, and activist for human rights, peace, and the environment. Her international bestseller The Chalice and The Blade is now available in 22 languages, and her new The Real Wealth of Nation proposes a new approach to economics that values the work of caring for people and the planet. The work and life of feminist artist, author and educator Judy Chicago are models for an enlarged definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and a woman's right to freedom of expression. Her iconic work, The Dinner Party, presents a symbolic history of women in Western civilization through a series of thirty-nine ceramic and needlework place settings on a triangular banquet table.

Deane, Laetitia Sonami, and others. Founded in 1979 by writer/editor Melody Sumner Carnahan and artist/designer Michael Sumner in Oakland, California, Burning Books moved to New Mexico in 1989, where the two continue to collaborate on books, films, posters, soup cans, pamphlets, and audioworks. Collaborative installations premiered at MOV-iN Gallery and IPI 2007 (College of Santa Fe), the Museum of Fine Arts, Center for Contemporary Arts, Donkey Gallery (Albuquerque), High Mayhem Gallery, Mills College, and the San Francisco Center for the Book. Burning Books has an incentive to make our world more elegant and convincing. November’s program will answer “Frequently Unasked Questions” and present a history in 30 second spots, featuring recent collaborations: the book/CD One Inch Equals 25 Miles; an audiowork from an installation, “Try Being Alive in This World,” performed by Elizabeth Wiseman; and Sumner’s 16-minute film, “Between 5th and 6th,” which will be screened in its entirety, based on Carnahan’s “Mona Lisa” story with a spanking new soundtrack by The brilliant Dullards. |

Muñoz Waxman Gallery Ground Breaking On Friday, March 9, in true Santa Fe fashion—warm weather, blue skies, gods being offered cornmeal, chilies, and Tequila, and Governor Richardson charming all—ground breaking began for the new Muñoz Waxman Gallery. Before an appreciative gathering of more than 150 community patrons, acclamations for CCA’s good work on this historic project were presented by the Governor, Cultural Affairs Secretary Stuart Ashman, CCA Board Member and Major Donor Dr. Albert Waxman, and CCA Executive Director Steve Buck. Many who attended have moved this project forward. For their generous contributions special recognition was extended to long-time CCA donor Celia Rumsey—The Rumsey Mezzanine Gallery will be named for her mother Mary A.H. Rumsey; CCA Board Member Cindy Miscikowski and husband Doug Ring who have secured naming rights to The Lobby Gallery; and Adjutant General Kenny Montoya (NM National Guard), whose steady countenance assisted in gaining 99-year leases for all tenants on the Bataan Memorial Foundation Campus. To-date more than 110 donors from Santa Fe and nationwide have supported the Capital Campaign, contributing more than 80% of our $1.75 million goal. To complete the campaign, CCA has secured a combined $100,000 Challenge Grant from McCune Charitable Foundation, Messengers of the Healing Winds, and Thaw Charitable Trust. We look forward to your helping CCA match this challenge by July 1. For more information or to receive a donor packet, please contact Sandy Thompson, CCA Development Director, 982.1338, ext. 11, Sandy@ccasantafe.org. |
