This is the perfect weekend to celebrate everything good about Santa Fe, especially after all our troubles went up in smoke last Friday night with the burning of Zozobra. ¡Viva La Fiesta! Yes, Fiestas de Santa Fe is in full force with the pageantry, history, and revelry happening around the Plaza. The Pet Parade Saturday morning and the Historical/Hysterical Parade on Sunday afternoon are guaranteed to bring smiles and laughter. As many of you know, Fiestas has a serious side as well, with three masses on Sunday at the Cathedral Basilica of St Francis. The Fiesta Procession and Mass honors La Conquistadora, followed by a mass incorporating music, dance, and prayer. Sunday evening is the Mass of Thanksgiving and candlelight procession. And there’s so much more this weekend. We have a full calendar of music, with some of our best local musicians playing around town. The Farmers Market Pavilion hosts the annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown competition. This is chile season, so your taste buds are in for a treat. It’s a special time to be in Santa Fe; to soak up the essence of our local traditions, munch on quintessential Santa Fe food, and celebrate our city. ¡Viva La Fiesta!

Fiestas de Santa Fe
Stories of Compassion From 9/11
Regina Ress was gratified by her fellow New Yorkers’ response to 9/11.
Marking the 15th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, former Lower Manhattan resident and international storyteller Regina Ress recalls the compassion (rather than fear) which flooded the city in the aftermath, during an evening of sharing stories at Teatro Paraguas. “What I learned from 9/11 is that love is stronger than hate,” Ress has said, and she encourages people to tell their own stories of how dreadful events tend to generate overwhelming acts of kindness and support.—Anne Maclachlan Stories of Compassion from 9/11, September 11, 6 pm, $10, Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie, teatroparaguas.org
2016 Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown Seven finalists from some of New Mexico’s best restaurants will create original-recipe burgers on September 9 in the annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown competition. One overall winner will be selected by a panel of judges, but there’s a People’s Choice award as well. All tickets include a taste of each juicy and spicy burger. Children’s tickets are $5 and offer the tastings; the $20 general admission fee adds a People’s Choice ballot; and the $30 early bird ticket gets you in at 4 pm, an hour before everyone else, and includes a ballot, a commemorative glass, and one beer or cider. Green chile cheeseburgers are almost the state dish of New Mexico, so you know these hot, high-stacked burger finalists have earned their places.—AM 2016 Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown, September 9, 4–8 pm, $5–$30, Farmers Market Pavilion at the Santa Fe Railyard, ediblesmackdown.com
The Plaza is lined with food booths and arts and crafts vendors, while musicians on the bandstand play morning, noon, and night. Other events include Desfile de los Niños, the beloved Saturday morning parade of children and their pets, Sunday’s Desfile de la Gente, also known as the Historical/Hysterical parade, featuring local athletic teams, politicians, bands, and more, and the Gran Baile de la Fiesta, a Saturday evening dance. Fiesta ends on Sunday evening with mass and a solemn candlelight procession at dusk from the cathedral to the Cross of the Martyrs.—Lisa Van Sickle Fiestas de Santa Fe, September 9–11, most events free, times and locations vary, santafefiesta.org
The Bicentennial Pool goes to the dogs on Saturday.

Fiesta dresses will come out of storage for the weekend celebration.

“¡Que viva la Fiesta!” has been a familiar phrase to Santa Feans for more than 300 years, and it’s being heard again during the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe, the oldest annual festival in the country. Founded by proclamation in 1712, the volunteer Santa Fe Fiesta Council emphasizes community education while honoring tradition through Fiestas. Friday brings a procession at 2 pm on the Plaza commemorating the Spanish reconquest of Santa Fe in 1692. A selection of local re-enactors portray Don Diego DeVargas and other historical figures, honoring La Conquistadora, the oldest statuette of the Virgin Mary in the United States, dating to 1625.
Doggie Dip Does your pup have a penchant for paddling? On September 10, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society will host its fourth annual Doggie Dip at Bicentennial Pool. The pool closes to the public for the season beginning on Labor Day; however, it will be open for the dogs from 11 am–2 pm. Gift bags are available to the first 100 participants and include coupons, goodies, and treats. No human swimming is allowed, but volunteers in wetsuits will be in the water to make sure all dogs are safe. There will be a smaller wading pool for the dogs that just want to get their paws wet. All proceeds from this fundraiser directly benefit the shelter.—Amanda Jackson Doggie Dip, September 10, 11 am–2 pm, $10 per dog, Bicentennial Pool, 1121 Alto, sfhumanesociety.org August 25, 2016 NOW 1

The combination dinner at Bourbon Grill tops a tender 14-ounce New York strip with a cherry demiglace and sautéed asparagus. The restaurant sources grass-fed beef that has been wet-aged for 30 days, followed by 15 days of on-site dry aging. Alongside a juicy lobster tail and savory stuffed baked potato, this steak is the king of the meal. Signature bourbonbased cocktails pair perfectly with every entrée. Dinner isn’t all that’s cooking; Bourbon’s Sunday brunch is served buffet-style in the banquet room. For $30, restaurant-goers delight in a variety of culinary favorites. Brunches include coffee, tea, and juice, and a complimentary mimosa or glass of sparkling wine.—Stephanie Love Bourbon Grill at El Gancho, 104 B Old Las Vegas Hwy, facebook.com/bourbongrillsf

Maura Allen, Weather Ahead, acrylic on panel, 32 x 48"
A solo exhibition by contemporary Western artist Maura Allen welcomes the painter to Sorrel Sky’s stable of artists. Allen’s depictions of the American West, painted on wood, steel, and glass, take on a cinematic effect, which is made unique by her process; she begins each piece by looking directly at the sun to reveal bold silhouettes and abstracted details. Allen’s work hangs in numerous private, corporate, and museum collections nationwide, and her acrylic on panel, Belvidere, was selected as July’s Cheyenne Frontier Days 2016 poster image—the first time a cowgirl image has been featured in the rodeo’s 120 year history. Allen states, “For centuries, the West has represented beginnings, not endings; a place where experimentation and the pioneering spirit—no matter your passion—has enough sky to thrive.”—Amanda Jackson

s the daughter of Northern Cheyenne jeweler Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Shanan Campbell Wells was immersed in the art world from a very young age. Her early memories of the downtown gallery space occupied by legendary Santa Fe art dealer Elaine Horwitch in the late 1970s are among her fondest. “I loved that Palace Avenue space, and when I found out it was on the market, I jumped at the opportunity to buy it,” says Wells, who opened Durango’s Sorrel Sky Gallery in 2002 and Santa Fe’s branch of the gallery in 2014. While the Durango gallery concentrates on an eclectic collection of Western work, the Santa Fe gallery focuses more on contemporary Western art. Even though Wells is extremely busy raising two teenage boys in Durango and commuting from southwestern Colorado to Santa Fe, she finds time to serve on the Lensic Performing Arts Center’s business leaders committee and is a member of both the Santa Fe Arts Commission and the Santa Fe Lodgers Association. Wells also operates SCW Art Consulting, which has placed hundreds of pieces of art in hospitals, financial institutions, and universities. She met some of the artists she currently represents during a time when she attended dozens of art shows around the West as a scout for the Franklin Mint’s plate collection. “The art consulting business and the gallery world are very different from one another,” she explains. “As an art consultant, I build an aesthetic brand for a company. As a gallery owner, I’m committed to representing my artists.”—Emily Van Cleve
Bryce Cameron Liston Sage Creek Gallery 421 Canyon sagecreekgallery.com Through September 16 Specializing in representational and traditional art, Sage Creek Gallery at 421 Canyon features a selection of realism and impressionism with subjects varying from still life to figurative, to Western scenes, landscapes, wildlife paintings, and bronzes. Aside from showing works in oil and conte pencil, the gallery is also known for its Western focus. Emphasizing Sage Creek Gallery’s inclusion of impressionist influences and high-caliber talents, Bryce Cameron Liston creates narrative figurative works that reflect a mastery of light and color. Incorporating his aesthetic sensibilities in each oil painting, Liston flatters his figures with timeless beauty.—Stephanie Love World Connections Alexandra Stevens Gallery of Fine Art 820 Canyon alexandrastevens.com Through September 15 Bringing the magic of their travels to Santa Fe this summer, painters E. Melinda Morrison and Peggy McGivern present their newest works in Peggy McGivern, an exhibit centered Sand Between My Toes, on the mesmerizing oil on canvas, 36 x 36" cultures, scenes, and people of Argentina, Costa Rica, Crete, Greece, Italy, Romania, and Cuba. Using bold pigments, dramatic shadows, and figures in motion, McGivern expresses the honesty of each moment she encounters through renderings that balance representational subjects with abstracted, simplified forms. Including figurative work and landscapes, each of her paintings evokes a feeling of place in a way that uniquely reflects the artist’s own vision. Morrison similarly focuses on conveying the diverse stories of people and places she’s encountered. Although her impressionist-styled oil paintings focus on day-to-day events and experiences, her models’ emotionally charged poses reflect each subject’s lifestyle through richly lit compositions and colors thoughtfully balanced by a palette of natural tones. Viewing this dynamic two-artist show, art appreciators and collectors should be prepared to feel a sense of wonder and wanderlust.—SL

PREVIEWS
Bryce Cameron Liston, Morning Glow, oil on canvas, 10 x 6"
Gregory Frank Harris and T Barny Hunter Kirkland Contemporary 200-B Canyon hunterkirklandcontemporary.com September 9–25 Reception September 9, 5–7 pm Gregory Frank Harris paints landscapes that are simultaneously traditional New Mexico scenes and up-to-the-minute explorations of shape and color. He looks to the 19thcentury tonalists’ use of a limited palette to render the landscape, while concentrating on creating the interesting surfaces and blurred edges often found in abstract paintings. T Barny’s sculptures, in both stone and bronze, combine undulating geometric shapes with crisp edges, polished surfaces, and color and texture from the stone or bronze itself. The eye follows a line around a curve, through an opening, and back to the other side, puzzled as to how stone or metal can be made to do such a thing. Both artists will have new pieces on display in the September show.—Lisa Van Sickle T Barny, Tephra Ejected Volcanic Matter, Utah Rhyolite on Marble Base, 26 x 9 x 8"
Adam Shaw: Pursuit of the Present Pippin Contemporary, 409 Canyon pippincontemporary.com September 14–27, reception September 16, 5–7 pm Pippin Contemporary announces a new selection of poetry-inspired artworks by California painter Adam Shaw. Shaw’s latest series of compositions embraces the thick textures of his previous works, while also plunging further into his exploration of language and imagery in relation to metaphysical and philosophical themes. These dynamic works carry an intense energy formed by bold layers of added and removed paint. “My eyes do not distinguish between abstract and representational,” he says, “for when observed closely, what is more abstract than upturned earth, the bark of a tree, the skin of a pomegranate, or the detail of a sleeve painted by Titian?”—SL Adam Shaw, Rising Tide, oil on canvas, 50 x 50" August 25, 2016 NOW 13
