DAVID ROBIN
Seven years ago, my lovely friend Roseta Santiago came to me with an idea for an event on Canyon Road. We sat down over lunch and hashed out a plan for what’s today known as the Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out. It started when we committed ourselves to inviting artists to paint en plein air on Canyon Road on a beautiful autumn day. Our goal was for visitors to observe, chat with, and buy art from the artists. Individuals showed up dressed in period costumes, such as Frida Kahlo, providing good subjects for the painters to paint. That first year, we were all pleasantly surprised by the turnout and by how well the street welcomed a new event. A few years later, after seeing the crowds grow, the galleries on Canyon Road got on board and took the event to another level. Their encouragement of their represented artists to participate in the event allowed the quality and quantity of the art to take a major leap. Not long after, the Music in the Schools program became involved when we invited Santa Fe schoolchildren to perform at various galleries. Through that venture, a parade was added four years ago. Special thanks to former Mayor David Coss for always coming out, making proclamations, and participating in the parade when this event was still in its infancy. The Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out is not in its infancy anymore. On Saturday, October 18, you’ll see many artists capturing the beautiful fall light of Canyon Road in their paintings, as well as the adorable little faces of Santa Fe schoolchildren who will be providing live music. At noon, Santa Fe’s cutest parade kicks off from the bottom of Canyon Road. Roseta’s idea and my execution of that idea shows that if you build it, they will come. By integrating art, music, children, the outdoors, and even a few politicians, an amazing event can be born.

Art Matters
Art connoisseurs gather at last year’s event.
For the second year, Santa Fe Gallery Association (SFGA) members are hosting a series of talks, panel presentations, and workshops aimed at art connoisseurship. Santa Fe is, of course, fertile ground for such offerings, given that it was the first place to be designated a UNESCO Creative City, among other distinctions. “[Art Matters] is geared toward collectors who want to learn more about a period of work, type of work, or process,” says David Eichholtz, SFGA board member and chair of the city’s tourism committee. The event’s 21 offerings, sponsored by 15 galleries and museums, include a panel presentation at EVOKE Contemporary on October 18 called Innovation and Creativity in Santa Fe. The presentation features Shannon Murphy of the After Hours Alliance and Erin Elder of the Center of Contemporary Arts, among others, and centers on ways of strengthening “the creative economy.” Nancy Dwyer’s artist talk on her latest sculptures and exhibition, What, promises to be another standout event, featuring Libby Lumpkin, a University of New Mexico professor of art history; Merry Scully, New Mexico Museum of Art curator; and artist Eddie Tsong. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum has several offerings planned based on its latest exhibition on Miguel Covarrubias (1904–1957), including a writing workshop inspired by a Vanity Fair feature article for which Covarrubias created an illustration that paired interviews between ill-matched participants.
A gallery talk with artist Carol Brown Goldberg at David Richard Gallery
The SFGA has cast the net wide with this incarnation of Art Matters, but the organization will follow October’s event with three series that tie offerings together around a theme. These include Art Matters Collections (January 30– February 8, 2015), Art Matters Sustenance (March 13–22), and Art Matters Curated (April 17–26).—Ashley M. Biggers Art Matters Santa Fe, sponsored by the Santa Fe Gallery Association, October 17–26; most events are free; if the event has an admission fee or requires prior ticketing, it will be indicated online; artmatterssantafe.org.

Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out the seventh annual event celebrates local traditions and introduces new ones by As h le y M . Big ge rs ON OCTOBER 18, THE Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out takes to the streets for the seventh year in a row, but this time three new elements promise to broaden the artistic and public reach of this favored fall event. As in previous years, Paint Out attendees can wander among more than 100 artists working en plein air along historic Canyon Road, a tradition that dates to the practices of Los Cincos Pintores (The Five Painters), who made their mark on the local art scene in the early 20th century. This year, however, the Canyon Road Merchants Association is formally welcoming sculptors to the roster for the first time. “People often can’t even begin to fathom the process it takes to create any type of sculpture,” says Nancy Leeson, a CRMA board member and the owner and director of Canyon Road Contemporary Art. “At the Paint Out & Sculpt Out, people [will] get to witness part of the process. We’re helping our sculpture event be different from all others because it’s focusing on that magic.” The CRMA anticipates sculptors will make up a fifth of the artists

participating in this year’s event. The Paint Out & Sculpt Out will also host an inaugural Flash Mob Art Collaboration. During the mob event, teacher Kate Latimer and other instructors from Studio Nia Santa Fe will lead loose choreography that will transition into spontaneous movement. Nearby, artists from the event’s roster will be painting. As is typical of these gatherings, word of the “top secret” flash mob has spread through social media, and the public is being encouraged to join in on the dancing and the painting. “It’s art in its purest and most democratic form,” says Leeson. “This year, we’ve moved beyond the scope of the traditional Canyon Road Paint Out to fully address the art community. Bringing sculpture and dance into this event demonstrates a progression of intention.” Completing the triad of first-time happenings, a Friday Art Walk will be held in honor of the Paint Out & Sculpt Out, during which galleries will stay open late and welcome the public for openings and artist receptions.

Cocktail hour is celebrated at both the distillery and the downtown tasting room.
Whiskey aficionado Colin Keegan aspired to run the “preeminent artisan distillery in the Southwest” when he opened Santa Fe Spirits in 2010. “We’re working toward it,” he says. “It’s a big goal.” And he’s well on his way: Each of his five spirits won awards in a variety of national competitions in 2012 and 2013. Keegan credits the exceptional quality of his products to his head distiller, John Jeffery, a former teacher of Keegan’s at Michigan State University who’s designed and produced spirits for more than 15 new businesses. Tours and samples are offered at the distillery, located near Airport Road and Highway 599; tastings at the downtown location on Read Street provide information about the distillation process and samples from a menu of seasonal mixed cocktails. “For the fall season, we started serving the Apple Hot Toddy with apple brandy and cinnamon tea,” Keegan says. “And the Ginger Lavender Lemon Drop (with Expedition vodka) reminds you of Santa Fe after a rainstorm; it’s very herbaceous.” —Cristina Olds

Tony DeLap t h e ca r e e r of t h e pion ee r ing We s t Coa s t a r t i s t i s c elebrated w it h a n e w ex h i bit ion, fi lm , a nd bo ok by Emily Va n Cle ve
Early in his career, Tony DeLap (b. 1927) drew inspiration from modernism and the work of Russian constructivists. Over the years, the California-based artist became known as a pioneer of both Op Art and West Coast minimalism, thanks to his distinctive use of abstraction, optical illusion, and pared down but boldly colored imagery.
Tony DeLap is known as a pioneer of both Op Art and West Coast minimalism. DeLap’s work has been included in seminal exhibitions, including Sculpture of the ’60s at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and he’s earned spots in the collections of the Tate in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Charlotte Jackson Fine Art celebrates DeLap’s work in the show Selected Works from Fifty Years of Making Art, which opens October 17. A statement from the gallery notes that DeLap’s work “always leads the eye in unexpected directions. . . . The edge of a sculptural painting on the wall bends, twists back on itself, confusing the eye and defying the notion of what is painting, what is sculpture, what is edge, and what is content. . . . DeLap’s works . . . always display a mastery of expectation and perception.” Among the pieces on exhibit, all of which come from DeLap’s private collection, are two dozen drawings—mostly graphite on paper with mixed media—created from the 1960s through 2014. A small group of larger works in the show includes shaped monochrome wall pieces, large-scale paintings on linen, and wood and aluminum wall works. “I selected pieces I felt a particular fondness for and are representative of what I’ve done during different periods of my life,” DeLap says. In conjunction with the Charlotte Jackson exhibition, on October 20 the Jean Cocteau Cinema is premiering the film 24

From Kilimanjaro to Provence: Taking Paints On the Road Lee MacLeod’s ne w show ope ns at Silve r Sun by Em i ly Va n Cle ve
art
Painter Lee MacLeod, a California native who enjoyed a 20-year career as a freelance illustrator before taking up plein air painting in the 1990s, is known for his depictions of mesas, mountains, and grand Southwestern vistas. But his latest show, From Kilimanjaro to Provence: Taking Paints On the Road, which opens at Silver Sun October 17, features 20 works he created while traveling abroad in Europe and Africa. MacLeod’s paintings of Kilimanjaro were executed at various base camps during the artist’s trek up the mountain in June 2013 with his wife Susan, his 23-year old daughter Devon, and four friends. The first time he made the climb in 2009, he wished he’d brought along his oil paints, he says. “I had about an hour a day to paint during five of the nine days of the [2013] journey,” says MacLeod, who started the uphill trek at an elevation of 12,000 feet and reached the moun-
taintop, at 19,300 feet, seven days later. “I painted on loose canvas and mounted the finished paintings when I got home to Santa Fe,” he adds. “Three of the works in the show are of Kilimanjaro. The other two from the trip show the terrain in the area.” Plein air paintings on panel that MacLeod created during recent trips to France and Italy are also featured in the show. “They’re all landscapes with structures in them, except for a couple of paintings of gondolas in Venice,” MacLeod says. “The main difference between painting outdoors in Europe [and in] New Mexico is the viewers. It’s hard to paint outside in Europe and not engage in conversations with people passing by. There are lots of interruptions. That doesn’t happen so much in New Mexico. But what happens in all my experiences is that I have fun and enjoy the challenge.” Lee MacLeod: From Kilimanjaro to Provence: Taking Paints On the Road, October 17–November 30, reception October 17, 4–7 pm, Silver Sun, 656 Canyon, silversun-sf.com

Temporal Light a Serenata of Santa Fe concert of rarely performed works

by Em i ly Va n C le ve
In keeping with its commitment to presenting audiences with rarely performed Oboist and works, chamber ensemble Serenata of Santa Fe Serenata of Santa Fe’s Artistic Director October 17 concert Pamela Epple at First Presbyterian Church, called Temporal Light, features lesserknown compositions by Carl Reinecke (1824–1910), Benjamin Britten (1913–1976), and Ernő Dohnányi (1877–1960). Reinecke’s Trio in B-flat for clarinet, horn, and piano was the piece that jumpstarted the entire program. Keith Lemmons, a clarinetist
Santa Fe Modern Home Tour
with the ensemble as well as a professor at the University of New Mexico, suggested the work to Pamela Epple, an oboist and Serenata of Santa Fe’s artistic director. “Keith asked our group’s French horn player, Scott Temple, if he’d be interested in playing it, and when he said yes we put it on the program,” Epple says. “Reinecke was a good friend of composer Robert Schumann, but [Johannes] Brahms was his [biggest] influence. The piece sounds a lot like Brahms.” Another work on the program, Dohnányi’s Sextet in C Major for piano, violin, viola, cello, horn, and clarinet, was also influenced by Brahms’s romantic sounds, and Epple describes the piece as a huge, orchestral-sounding work. “With two really meaty pieces programmed, I thought we should add something different to the mix,” Epple notes. “I’ve played Benjamin Britten’s Temporal Variations for oboe and piano three times before. Britten can be so weird, which is what I love about him. He was a maverick.” Epple will perform this challenging nine-movement piece with pianist Debra Ayers. Other musicians appearing in the October 17 concert include Santa Fe Symphony member Elena Sopoci (violin), Shanti Randall (viola), and Sally Guenther (cello).

The tour is being held in conjunction with the 2014 American Institute of Architects’ Western Mountain Region Conference, which takes place October 16–19 in Santa Fe. “Our goal is to showcase a modern aesthetic with new construction techniques and materials,” says Modern Home Tour cofounder James Leasure. “On the Santa Fe tour there are interesting interactions between the homes and the surrounding desert landscape, [and there’s also a] great flow of movement and light through the homes.”
Among the featured properties is 90 Thornton Ranch Road, designed by Dick in the shape of a pinwheel. The award-winning home features a 240-panel PV solar array. In Las Campanas, 14A Calle Mi Gusto, a net-zero energy consumption home, was designed by Mojarrab in a basic pattern of rectangles and triangles. A portion of the tour’s ticket sales go to the nonprofit Friends of Architecture Santa Fe, whose mission is “to enhance and foster awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of architecture and the built environment.” For more information on the tour and descriptions of the featured homes, visit modernhometours.com.

On Saturday, October 11, a large crowd gathered under the water tower in the Santa Fe Railyard for the first-ever PopUp Poetry event organized by poets Elizabeth Jacobson and Miriam Sagan of Santa Fe’s Cut + Paste Society and Tres Chicas Books. For an hour and a half, nationally acclaimed poets such as Arthur Sze, Tony Hoagland, Joan Logghe, and Carol Moldaw read a selection of their poems, with members of the audience also taking to the informal stage to share their own works. The crowd’s excitement about poetry was heartening, and it was particularly encouraging to experience the much-too-neglected art form being integrated, in a way, into daily life, with the readings taking place in the midst of the bustling Santa Fe Farmers Market. The event was very straightforward—there were no bells or whistles or even microphones—but it came off as a powerful way to celebrate poetry and remind people why it’s vital. For information on any future pop-up poetry events (there’s talk of this turning into a series, with another event possibly occurring in the spring), visit facebook.com/CutnPasteSociety. —Amy Hegarty 28
