FROM THE EDITOR Santa Fe’s histories and traditions are unquestionably part of what makes it a special place to live and visit, but we offer this year’s annual guide as a way to consider what’s new and emerging. We always aim to use this publication to help the locals feel more like tourists and to encourage tourists to be
4
more like locals. Sometimes we all need a vacation, even for an hour in our hometown—and Santa Fe wants the world to know our city for what it is, not the Adobe Disneyland and turquoise flip-flops version that’s easy to paint. Let us, like our contemporary cover artist Jared Weiss,
lay down a more complex mural. It shows all the corners of the city, the crisscrossing network of urban trails, four seasons of celebrations, the off-the-path destinations for arts experiences along with established museums with fresh ideas from professional curators, the fun places to buy
gifts and essentials, and the best places to find bespoke snacks, dinner, drinks and maybe even new friends. The Santa Fe Reporter has a direct line to the authentic voice of our community, reporting since 1974 on news and culture—and shows no signs of slowing. -Julie Ann Grimm

Photography pros on why Santa Fe and New Mexico are so photogenic BY ALEX DE VORE
You’ll often hear artists refer to a love of the light when they discuss New Mexico as subject matter, and in no other medium is this so immediately apparent as in photography. The place is undeniably photogenic, and it’s proven time and time again by social media snaps of sunset after sunset, balloons of all shapes and sizes, arts installations, people—and, let’s not forget, SFR’s wildly popular annual photo contest, which spawned hundreds of submissions this year. “I think it’s a couple of things,” says Angie Rizzo, exhibits and programs manager for photo-centric organization CENTER. “It’s the landscape—the gently formed rocks and landscapes that form beautiful patterns—but since
16
the mountains are in the north, we get the full range of the sun from east to west.” Rizzo cites Denver as an example of different (or lesser) light. “Because the mountains are in the west, they cut off the sunset before it reaches the city, and we don’t get that,” she says. “I think it’s also about the extreme weather here—you know, like the beautiful clouds.” Photographer Mark Woodward, who has tackled assignments for SFR and other publications, splits his time between Santa Fe and New York City. For him, it’s more about the people. “Sunsets, mountain and rainbows aside, there is a tight community of shooters here in New Mexico,” Woodward says. “A lot of these photographers are also working on longer-term photo projects in the Southwest, which is ideal for me to be around.” Woodward says New Mexico provides easier access to state and federal institutions when compared to the East Coast, also a huge plus when it comes to his current projects about border regions and incarceration.
MARK WOODWARD
Aw, Snap! For Kate Russell, a longtime local and primarily self-taught shooter, it comes down to the people as well. Russell has worked for various media outlets as well as the Santa Fe Opera, SITE Santa Fe and, most recently, Meow Wolf. “I definitely have my personal projects that seem to come from the story of people,” Russell says, also pointing out that elevation and color play a role in New Mexico-based photography. “Technically speaking, the quality of light changes at higher elevations and the color palette here is different from anywhere else in the country.” A glance at the #NewMexico hashtag on Instagram provides a gorgeous glimpse at our state, from White Sands in the south and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the north, to the culture, arts, music, people, waterways, wildlife, food and beyond. We have it incredibly good here. And as long as shooters, from the most seasoned pros to those who merely own smartphones, keep snapping, we’ll always have a glimpse into what makes New Mexico’s photos so phenomenal.

Spring Spring means at least one snowstorm threatening the fragile apricot blossoms, and wind so powerful it sends sand to scour the paint from your threshold. Life is bursting at the seams, and it’s time for cleaning the acequias, walking on the highway and watching for the birds and butterflies.
Summer brings afternoon rainstorms and late nights of endless stars. It means roses and hummingbirds, perching on hotel balconies with silly drinks, and joining the fam in the Railyard or up the hill for music as the sun sets. Let’s hope for hiking and soccer and baseball and bikes and not very many fires in our forests.

Summer 20
A place for all seasons The high desert of Santa Fe means experiencing all four seasons in a year, and, as locals learn to joke, sometimes all four seasons in one day. Natural beauty, the rhythm of traditions and the possibility for newness are all reasons to notice up-close details as we make another trip around the sun.
Fall Fall is the intoxicating smell of chile roasting, then hands burning from peeling and packing and freezing. It’s laughing till you snort at the Fiesta Melodrama and basking in a jaw-dropping glow from miles and miles of golden aspen or a ribbon of cottonwood along the river with its own iridescent yellow.

Get Grounded at Santa Fe Botanical Garden
In winter, the adobe walls warm one side of your body while you walk down the street. When the storms finally come, it’s calling in powder rather than lying to your boss for a sick day—then racing, carefully, up the winding road to the ski basin. PiĂąon burns in the fireplace and a single candle cradled in sand flickers light from inside a paper bag.Â
Winter
With a gorgeous plant collection, year-round learning activities, special events, and art exhibits, the Garden has something for all ages.

BY MATT GRUBS
Santa Fe is blessed not only with good weather, but with great ways to take advantage of it. Among those is the city’s 100-plus-mile urban trail system. It’s designed around bikes—but chances are, if you’ve found a dedicated path for bikes, you’ve found a safe pedestrian path, too. The most eye-catching of the latest improvements is the underpass beneath St. Francis Drive at the intersection with Cerrillos Road. It opened in late 2017 and provides a much safer way to avoid the busy road above. The 150-foot long tunnel also opens up access to the Acequia Trail.
The trail, which roughly parallels Cerrillos Road, is “a combination of trail and mellow roads,” says Tim Rogers, who manages the trails program at the Santa Fe Conservation Trust. The route makes it possible to bike from the Railyard to Casa Alegre without much hassle. Or, if the mood strikes, to Rowley Farmhouse Ales (1405 Maclovia St., 428-0719), right nearby. In June 2018, the El Camino Real Trail is set to open, providing bike access from the Southside to the Municipal Recreation Center at Caja del Rio and beyond—even out to Diablo Canyon, via a 10-foot wide soft-sur-
make for excellent urban biking. But it’s designed to do much more than allow you to tool around town. It’s supposed to provide an alternative way to get to work or to basic services like grocery stores, doctor’s offices and entertainment. With trails rideable for nearly the entire year, local governments think it makes sense.
JULIE ANN GRIMM

and nearly out to Lamy, is in the final stages of improvements to both its soft surface and paved paths. This is all well and good for the recreational rider, and if you’re from out of town, it means there are plenty of non-lungbusting options for biking in and around town. Santa Fe’s compact size and picturesque neighborhoods
The River Trail, at left, and the Acequia Trail underpass near the Railyard, right, are part of Santa Fe’s paved connectors.
face trail. Here, too, there’s a tunnel below a busy road, letting riders avoid Highway 599. The River Trail, a vital connector to the heart of town from the west side, will have a mile-long extension between Frenchy’s Field and Siler Road completed this year. Even the new diverging diamond interchange at Cerrillos and I-25 has nearly a mile of urban trails and tunnels, making Rancho Viejo and Turquoise Trail more accessible for riders. And the Rail Trail, which runs more than 10 miles from downtown through Eldorado
Erick Aune, a senior planner with the Metropolitan Planning Organization, points out that this is no accident. Aune arrived about five years ago to find that the local governments have been smart about their approaches to creating a two-wheeled transit network. “The county and the city have dedicated bond funds over the years, which means there’s a strong planning and design ethic, and then operations and maintenance,” he says. There isn’t always a ton of money, but it’s been spent wisely enough to win grants to pay for trail improvements and extensions. Within a couple years, the agency will leverage federal safety funding to build another Rail Trail tunnel below the six lanes of traffic on St. Michael’s Drive. What’s more, the city is now requiring developers working on land that has mapped-butnot-built multi-use paths to complete them. All the improvements got a formal boost with the Bike Master Plan, developed in 2012. It’s being updated this year. If you don’t have a bike, there are programs for that, too—foremost of which is the Chainbreaker Collective (1515 Fifth St., 989-3858, chainbreaker.org). The group’s bicycle resource center is open on Sunday afternoons and teaches bike maintenance and how to rehab a used ride for those who are looking for a cheap, easy way to get around. Because you can give a man a bike and he’ll learn to ride, but if you teach a man how to fix a bike … well, you know the rest.

COURTESY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
BY JUAN MENDOZA
Santa Fe Community College’s Continuing Education Program enriches lives
We have more options for education than ever before. Online video tutorials and endless research materials are easy to access via the internet. Sure, students seeking degrees and certificates can earn them online or serve their time in a college or university with the potential to rack up massive amounts of debt—but what happens when degrees are earned, careers are complete, and hobbies and service positions are calling? What about learning just for the sake of it? In Santa Fe, students young and old can pick up new skills and information affordably through the non-credit Continuing Education Program at the Santa Fe Community College.
“This is not a program to compete against any other form of public education,” says Kris Swedin, the program director. “It is a continuously growing program that compliments any education pursued to acquire a degree or certificate from the colleges in town.” If there’s something you feel like learning, they probably have you covered. Classes can last as short as a day to as long as six weeks, making the commitment fairly minimal. Popular courses include Spanish language mastery, German, “fearless watercolor,” country and Western two-step, mahjong, introduction to 3-D printing, and social media basics. Just last year, the program held classes for over 3,000 students, 40 percent of whom were over the age of 60. About 700 were students up to age 17 taking summer classes that focused on team building and leadership skills. The program has also attracted nationally recognized educators from prestigious universities like Columbia University, San Francisco State University and others COURTESY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

who rode to Santa Fe on the silver tsunami. Amanda Hatherly, who teaches plant-based nutrition and “food for life” classes, says she sees the program as a treasure worth seeking. “There is a real value in continuing learning and not just being stuck with the knowledge when you got your first job or finished high school,” Hatherly tells SFR. “There’s so many different types of people that have moved here with wonderful skill sets, and many of them are teaching continuing ed.” “If you can’t look back on the last year and point out these really great things that you’ve learned,” Hatherly explains, “then you’ve missed out on opportunities.” Art and photography instructor Michael Long agrees. “The classes have a shorter duration and they are more casual in the learning process because grades are not involved,” he says. “The topics can be more specific because you are not trying to cover material that is broad in range [like] you would when trying to pursue a degree.” Teachers also have the advantage of the college’s many resources. For some, this means classes off-campus where they can avoid the restrictions of the classroom. Geology instructor Kirt Kempter, who also works for National Geographic and the Smithsonian, comments on the possibilities. “So many educated people move here and retire here, yet they want to continue learning,” he says. “Many people come here, and they don’t know much about the landscape—and that’s where I come in.”

Gift of You
Volunteers give and get in service to nonprofits
BY DEBORAH BUSEMEYER
For a year, my kids and I played piano monthly at the Santa Fe Care Center as aides serve dinner to residents of the long-term care facility. My children would have preferred going home after school, but I saw their shy smiles when people applauded their performances, and we left feeling grateful for our healthy bodies and minds. Whenever I visit places where people are volunteering, I feel the same energy and lightness. People are genuinely happy to give of their time and themselves; often they get more than they give and gain a new perspective in their lives. Joni Conrad-Neutra spends two hours a week making fresh, healthy food for Kitchen Angels, a nonprofit that relies on volunteers to deliver meals to people who are homebound due to disability or illness, a population she wasn’t aware of before she started volunteering. “I feel it’s really uplifting to make such good, quality food,” she says as she prepares a sweet potato mash paired with marinated turkey breast and risotto. “And I meet people I wouldn’t necessarily meet otherwise.” In Santa Fe, it’s easy to find a cause that speaks to you, whether you want to incorporate volunteering as a regular routine or an occasional contribution. You could join Conrad-Neutra, or package food for The Food Depot to distribute to organizations in nine counties that serve people in need. We have vulnerable populations who need our support.

You could help take care of our public lands through the US Forest Service or local gardening efforts at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden or the Railyard Park Conservancy. You can join Sierra Club’s efforts to protect our land and water, including writing advocacy letters. Our schools always need assistance. You don’t have to be a parent of a student to get involved, and you don’t have to work directly with kids to make a difference. School librarians may need help filing books or schools could use help fundraising. Check with the principal of your neighborhood school or Santa Fe Public Schools to find a volunteer activity that’s best for you. You will have to pass a background check to work with students. State museums are always seeking a range of volunteers to work with people or do solo projects, lead tours as docents, work in a gift shop or even file and repair books. If animals are your passion, volunteers at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society or Española Humane clean animals’ cages, take them for walks on shelter property or facilitate introductions between animals and potential adopters. My son is waiting to turn 12 so he can apply to be a volunteer, and the shelters require anyone 15 or younger to have a parent participate as well. You could also open your home to animals that need foster care until they are adopted. Santa Fe is rich with nonprofits trying to support our residents, animals, land and culture, and they count on people giving the gift of themselves to make it all work. So do a little research and find the right fit for you.

Feed your kitchen gadget obsession while feeding Santa Feans
CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI
The Tastiest Room in the House BY CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI Sarah Taylor The images have circulated regularly since and Jill the nonprofit Kitchen Angels was founded Markstein in 1992: Happy hair-netted volunteers stirknow their ring massive pots of food, smiling drivers stuff in the kitchen, and loading cooler bags full of meals into cars their branchild to deliver to their homebound neighbors, nonprofit store folks in angel wings hosting the annual Anhelps you outgel’s Night Out restaurant fundraiser. fit yours. Kitchen Angels has always been one of Santa Fe’s favorite nonprofits, and the thousands of people fed by its meal-delivery services (it delivered its millionth meal serving accessories—possibly for the ocin 2015) agree that it’s a vital service. casional volunteer dinners the nonprofit It would make sense, then, that hosts. “Somewhere along the line,” Taylor when you have extra kitchen gadgets, you’d continues, “Tony, Jill and I were thinkdonate them to Kitchen Aning, ‘This could turn into gels.

its best light.” (The day SFR visited, someone snagged a sparkling KitchenAid stand mixer for a fraction of its original big-ticket price. Those things are coveted!) “We have microwaves, toaster ovens, all the coffee things, beautiful old Mexican pieces; we get a lot of collectibles in also,” Markstein says. “There is a $2 bread pan up to the $200 crystal.” Even folks who fear the kitchen can find hostess gifts, serving platters (you’ve served store-bought cookies before, right? Put them on something pretty, for cryin’ out loud), table linens and other fun tchotchkes. And, when you break it all down, you’re doing the right thing. “It’s the joy of buying something and knowing that you’re feeding someone at the same time,” McCarty says. In 2017, proceeds from Kitchenality (which is essentially run without overhead—it’s all via donations and volunteers) brought in enough funds to feed 88 Santa Feans for an entire year. Furthermore, Kitchenality is often called upon to help provide for folks who are rebuilding after a house fire, fleeing domestic abuse or similar situations, and can always supply what’s needed. And, to make your life easier, the folks who work Kitchenality even know what they’re talking about. “We know what most of the stuff is,” Taylor says. “And we love it!” Markstein chimes in. “It’s all about food, and feeding people, and providing for people.”

A New Home in Santa Fe
Casa Nova Gallery offers familiar fusion and mindful decor
Inside Casa Nova Gallery (530 S Guadalupe St., 9838558, casanovagallery.com), an airy space in the Railyard full of imported art, some of the aesthetic feels quite familiar. “New Mexico’s traditional cultures and heritage are not too different from Africa’s,” shop owner Natalie Fitz-Gerald says in a lilting South African accent. “I wish someone would do a collaborative museum exhibition comparing Native American and African beadwork, pottery and basketry.” She gestures across the room: “Our black Zulu beer pots are made in exactly the same way as the blackware in Santa Clara.” She discusses the items at Casa Nova with comfort, having opened the shop in 2003 in order to supply Santa Fe with sustainably made, fairly sourced tribal art, the vast majority of which is from Africa. Fitz-Gerald, whose background is in finance, got into this business much by accident. While working to establish a bank in Johannesburg, she says, “on the weekends, I would go out and meet craftspeople and see what was being done in sustainable craft work. … And then, when I moved back [to Connecticut] and did my house, everybody said, ‘Oh my god, this is so beautiful—could you get this for us?’” She had developed close relationships with the coops and artisans from whom she’d buy in Africa; she’d also always had a grasp of the so-
is sure to point out, her store manager has a story of her own. Irakoze, who was born in the Central African nation of Burundi, speaks warmly of Casa Nova. “To me, it’s like going back home. It reminds me of being in my mom’s home,” she says. Irakoze also loves to talk about Burundi; she keeps a map by the cash register. Many more Americans know about its northern neighbor, Rwanda; few know that 1994’s Rwandan Genocide, in fact, started in Burundi in 1993, when Irakoze was in high school. She, the eldest of five daughters to a widowed mother, obtained a scholarship to study massage in Santa Fe in 2003. She then went to Africa and Indonesia to provide bodywork in refugee camps for three years; and then, she wanted to come back to New Mexico. “Every time I wake up and I have a choice to turn the water on and take a shower, it’s a huge privilege,” Irakoze says. “Everything we take for granted—it’s a privilege. To wake up and have these choices, I feel like I’m a princess.” The art that Casa Nova sells helps provide more people have those choices every year. “I have many relationships with people who we still sell today, who have been with me since 2003,” Fitz-Gerald says. “Which is even more of an endorsement of what we do; we wanted to show that you can have sustainable income.”

cial inequality in her home country. “Finally, I thought, ‘This is really a way of buying good while doing good.’ I focused on cooperatives; on groups that had been funded in the interest of poverty alleviation and in creating sustainable livelihoods.” She moved to Santa Fe and, 15 years ago, opened Casa Nova. Under its skylights, you can find contemporary Namji dolls from Cameroon, vibrant clay dinnerware by a women’s cooperative in Cape Town, metal crosses from Ethiopia, textiles from Madagascar and much more. Fitz-Gerald and her store manager, Nelly-Joy Irakoze, can tell visitors about the background of any item, and Fitz-Gerald also runs annual “insider’s trips” to Africa, complete with safaris and wine country tours. The best part? You can feel good shopping here. Historically, Fitz-Gerald says, “in South Africa, many co-ops were founded by white do-gooders. … Which is obvious, because under Apartheid, you had the Bantu education system—which is an oxymoron. There wasn’t education.” Bantu was notoriously colonial, segregated and racist. Fitz-Gerald says, however, that those “white do-gooders” often founded the cooperatives in order to impart their privileged education to disenfranchised populations, then would step aside to let their Indigenous counterparts run the show. Stories like this abound at Casa Nova; and, Fitz-Gerald

Don’t eat that, Eldorado doggo! That’s birdseed!
Four-Legged Fam Santa Fe’s pet supply stores offer more than just kibble BY CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI
A whole lot of people in Santa Fe care deeply about animals—and thankfully, a few of them also own shops. Santa Fe’s many pet stores function not only as places to purchase supplies and food; they’ve evolved into trusted hubs of community. Our locally owned pet supply stores have curated inventories for those concerned with quality. Most of them also have alliances or friendships with local trainers, daycares or boarding facilities, able to provide customers with referrals. All of them, it seems, have change jars on the counter with the logo of a local rescue organization or two, and periodically host adoption events. If your pet has a non-serious medical problem (hot spot? Minor digestive upset?), you can usually get some stopgap advice from a store clerk to hold you over till you can get a vet appointment. A couple shops in particular have expanded in recent years, adding to Santa Fe’s ever-growing pet friendliness. At the start of 2015, Lisa Boegl took over Eldorado Country Pet (in the Agora Center, 7 Avenida Vista Grande, Eldorado, 466-1270), fulfilling a lifelong goal of owning a pet supply store. A little more than a year later, she moved it across the
breezeway and busted out a few walls to increase its size—and exponentially increase its ability to serve her customers. Folks even come down from Santa Fe to peruse ECP’s vast inventory of food, supplements and toys, not to mention stuff for wild birds if you can’t have actual pets inside your house. Bird fanatic Boegl worked for Audubon for four years, and is so knowledgeable in how to lure the local avian population that your yard will be teeming in no time. Pretty much everyone who walks in the door of ECP gets a greeting by name, and the clerks in the store always coo and fuss over any four-legged that comes in too. “It’s nice to build the relationships with your customers who are your neighbors
and watch their dogs grow up,” Boegl says, “or help them when they pass, or refer to them to groomers, trainers and sitters. It feels like we’re part of the family. … And we’re very blessed to be so.” In town, Teca Tu (DeVargas Center, 165 Paseo de Peralta, 982-9374) has also expanded in recent years. When the Sanbusco Center, where it had lived for 18 years, was sold, all shops therein were forced to find new locations in 2016. Many of them moved to the DeVargas Center. It seemed pretty inconvenient at the time, but in the end, the mass migration has both revitalized the mall and given many local shops vastly better quarters. Teca Tu had recently soaked up more space in Sanbusco when it had to leave. What started as a sweet little boutique slinging Pendleton coats for dogs and $100 cat scratchers now also featured high-quality food, treats and supplements, making it a place for necessities as well as fun stuff. The new spot in DeVargas accommodated its expanded inventory, and then some— and added a whole wall of windows that makes the shop bright and inviting, with a door directly to outside and tables with umbrellas on a makeshift patio. “It’s been great,” manager Joanne Buchanan says of the new location. “We’re really happy we’re over here, and we’re happy that nine of the other [Sanbusco] stores came over here. It’s a different atmosphere; there’s a lot more traffic, and our business has really grown. We have a lot more local customers.” In addition to slinging its usual quality inventory, Teca Tu hosts regular adoption events with Felines and Friends, Lap Dog Rescue, the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas and New Mexico, and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. Summer will also see monthly “pub hours” where customers are invited to snag special discounts, plus hors d’ouveres from the Santa Fe Bar and Grill next door. A portion of proceeds benefit animal welfare groups. Beyond those shops that have recently expanded, Santa Fe has a healthy contingent of mainstays that have been providing for years. Check page 62 for a directory of all the best ones, from raw-food local diets to high-quality home-baked treats. Our pet stores are more than just supply drops; they’re waystations along the sometimes ridiculous journey of pet ownership where you can get friendship, advice and a bully stick or two.

Visiting Nambé Mill House artistin-residence Loren Klyne is just one way to break from Santa Fe’s orbit.
Out of town BY JORDAN EDDY
We might have about the same population as Ogden, Utah, and Allen, Texas, but I’d never call Santa Fe your typical small town. There’s an impressively metropolitan culture folded into the 52.5 square miles of the City Different. “Santa Fe is home to the greatest concentration of professional artists in the entire country,” wrote the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs in an economic impact report on the state’s arts and cultural industries from May 2017. “Fully 2.6 percent of all workers in Santa Fe (1,665 persons) identify themselves as primary employed in this field […] a higher percent than art world meccas such as New York City, Los Angeles or Miami that are many times Santa Fe’s size.” Still, there are some things about this little village that are bound to stir up cabin fever. Locals often talk about “escaping the bubble” for the weekend, and visitors who’ve taken a jaunt through the Historic District, the Railyard District and Meow Wolf will ask, “So, what’s next?” Marie Claire Bryant recently found a quick fix for Santa Fe claustrophobia: Find a place just outside of town. Bryant was on a hunt for housing in the city’s fiercely competitive rental market when she stumbled upon a Craigslist post about an old mill house 15 miles north of Santa Fe in Nambé. She learned about its history as a haven for artists—an entire dance troupe once lived there, and local arts duo Cannupa Hanska Luger and Ginger Dunnill are former residents—and quickly gathered three roomies to sign a lease in March 2017. They aptly dubbed their new home the Nambé Mill House,
TAKING PART IN THE tiny road trip trend can LEAD to unexplored arts swiftly transforming it into an artist residency and event space. “I literally get that feeling of ‘leaving the bubble’ every day,” says Bryant. She notes some difficulties to starting an art project outside the city limits—mainly that it’s weirdly hard to attract Santa Feans to justout-of-town events. On the other hand, Bryant and her collaborators have started building new bridges between Nambé and Santa Fe through happenings like a honkytonk and artist workshops. In 2017, they hosted four artists-in-residence, including a musician who works with Indigenous communities to teach digital storytelling skills. “I think it’s not good to move somewhere and not take into consideration the community that was there before you got there, and I see that happening all over the country right now,” Bryant says. “Especially if you’re benefiting from cheap rent or natural beauty in that place, you have a responsibility to find ways to connect with and benefit that community.” In that spirit, we’re challenging Santa Fe locals and tourists alike to start a new movement: the tiny road trip. Cultural experiences abound just past Santa Fe’s edge (our self-imposed limit was about 40 minutes of driving, one-way and not counting stops) that will blow your mind and link you up with all sorts of cool communities. Here are tiny road trips in three directions.
Northbound
Head up Highway 84/285 to the Roxanne Swentzell Tower Gallery and Poeh Cultural Center (78 Cities of Gold Road, 455-5041) at the edge of Pojoaque Pueblo. Swentzell is part of a legendary family of Indigenous ceramicists, including her uncle Michael Naranjo and her daughter Rose B Simpson. She shares this elegant structure, constructed using traditional Pueblo architectural elements and building methods, with the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum. The institution celebrates the culture of Puebloan people from the precolonial period to the present day. After that, take Highway 503 east to Nambé for a visit to the current artist-inresidence at Nambé Mill House (44 County Road 106, Nambé, nambemillhouse. com). A 10-mile drive up Cundiyo Road will land you in Chimayó for lunch at Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante (300 Juan Medina Road, Chimayó, 351-4444), where you should definitely try the prickly pear frozen margarita. After that, explore the famous Catholic chapel El Santuario de Chimayó, built in 1816, and other folk artfilled chapels nearby.
Southbound
Start this tiny road trip in the morning with a drive down Highway 14 to the San Marcos Café & Feed Store (3877 Hwy. 14, 471-9298), where you’ll savor the restaurant’s famous cinnamon rolls with a view of the peacock flock in the farmyard outside. About 15 minutes farther south on the highway—otherwise known as the Turquoise Trail—you’ll roll into the coal-minCONTINUED ON PAGE 67 >>

ing-boomtown-turned-art-oasis of Madrid. Park at Gypsy Plaza at the south end of town and visit Power and Light Press (3 Firehouse Lane, Madrid, 207-772-6584, powerandlightpress.com). This woman-owned and operated print shop has headquarters in Silver City, and opened its Madrid location in winter 2017. They’re best known for their Stand with Planned Parenthood tote bag, but the shop is positively bursting with prints, posters, greeting cards, bandanas and other creations adorned with punchy, pro-feminist messages and imagery. Venture along Madrid’s main drag, and then lunch on Southern fare at The Hollar (2849 Hwy. 14, Madrid, 471-4821). We recommend the local buffalo burger on a pretzel bun, with a side of fried okra. Hop back in the car and head a few miles back to the even smaller town of Cerrillos, where you can drop by the Bill Skripps Studio (11 ½ First St., Cerrillos, billskrips.com) to see the artist at work on wonderfully bizarre found-object sculptures, and do some shopping at Cerrillos Station and South Gallery (151-B First St., Cerrillos, 474-9326). Make a final stop at Black Bird Saloon (28 Main St., Cerrillos, 438-1821) for a drink.

This tiny road trip starts out rugged I think it’s not and ends in luxury. Head down Airport Road and continue on to good to move the La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs somewhere and (662-674 Paseo Real, La not take into Cienega). It’s an approximately 2-mile hike that will take you along consideration the jagged basalt cliffs marked with community that over 4,400 petroglyphs. The trail was there before is a tiny fragment of an ancient trade route that stretched from you got there. Santa Fe to present-day Mexico, -Marie Claire Bryant, and Puebloan travelers created Nambé Hill House these images between the 13th and 17th centuries. Make sure to bring hiking boots for this one—it’s a well-marked trail, but definitely calls for some light bouldering. After you’ve explored the petroglyphs, hike above the cliffs for a sky-high picnic lunch with views of the Sangre de Cristo and Sandia mountain ranges. Drive five minutes down Paseo Real for a much gentler stroll through El Rancho de las Golondrinas (334 Los Pinos Road, 471-2261), a 3.4-acre living history museum that recreates life during New Mexico’s Spanish Colonial era. The same trail walked by Puebloan travelers was later used by the Spanish Empire, with this ranch as a key pit stop on the journey. (It’s open seasonally, so call ahead if there’s any doubt it’s open.) End your tiny road trip with some pampering at Sunrise Springs Spa Resort (242 Los Pinos Road, 780-8145), Golondrinas’ neighbors to the north on Los Pinos Road. The 70acre destination spa features natural springs beside a babbling brook and private hot tubs. This one’s reservation-only, so make sure to call ahead here too. Don’t forget to check the hours of the highlighted businesses before you kick off your adventure! Always bring water when you’re traveling through rural New Mexico. High desert storms can hit fast, so if you’re traveling in winter, check weather forecasts and equip your vehicle accordingly.

MUSEUMS ARE FOR LOCALS TOO A
BY DEBORAH BUSEMEYER
s New Mexico’s capital, Santa Fe is blessed to have four state museums that explore our region’s art, history and culture, as well as several others that highlight our passion for art and our Native American and Spanish Colonial heritages. Seventy-five percent of museum visits are by out-of-towners, but locals have some advantages over tourists.
Elizabeth Garrett, composer of New Mexico state song, “O, Fair New Mexico,” ca. 1915, is part of an exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum.
We get designated free days, discounted prices and the opportunity to check out a free seven-day pass to state-owned museums just like a library book. City buses, which are free for folks younger than 18, can deliver you downtown a block away from the Palace of Governors and into the lap of the Plaza area’s museums (the Palace, New Mexico History Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum), or to Museum Hill on Camino Lejo, where you’ll find the rest (the Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden). A good time to visit these museums is during this year’s fourth annual Museum Hill Community Day (9 am-5 pm Sunday Sept. 23) when all the museums and the botanical garden are free. Each museum plans special events, including activities hosted by the International Folk Art Alliance and
the National Parks Service. Last year, there was even a pig roast. The Museum of International Folk Art (706 Camino Lejo, 476-1200) hosts the world’s largest collection of folk art from around the world. Anyone who likes shiny things will appreciate the most recent exhibit, Beadwork Adorns the World, on display through the beginning of February 2019. The show contemplates how glass beads travel the world before becoming a part of beadwork in an object or garment, and how those beads reflect the artists’ and collectors’ intentions. In the downtown art scene, the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072) will feature Frederick Hammersley: To Paint Without Thinking, from May 26 through Sept. 29. Hammersley, known as an abstract classicist, lived in New Mexico from 1968 until his death in 2009. This exhibit showcases his notebooks, inventories, sketchbooks and color swatches so you can better understand the process he used to create his geometric paintings. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE >>

At the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (217 Johnson St., 946-1000), explore the beautiful skies and landscapes that the artist painted less than an hour from Santa Fe. The Black Place: Georgia O’Keeffe and Michael Namingha will be on view May 4 to Sept. 14 as part of the museum’s Contemporary Voices series. Both artists spent time at the Black Place in the Bisti Badlands of northwestern New Mexico, where they were inspired to create art nearly a century apart. If you’re into music, check out the latest exhibit at the New Mexico History Museum’s (113 Lincoln Ave., 476-5200) The Land that Enchants Me So: Picturing Popular Songs of New Mexico, on display through Feb. 28, 2019. This display celebrates the era before radio and television, featuring sheet music of popular songs about New Mexico published from the 1840s through 1960. Beyond the latest exhibit, the New Mexico History Museum and the Palace of
Governors (105 W Palace Ave., 476-5100), two separate buildings for one admission, contains a trove of information about the beginnings of our city and state. It is powerful to stand in the the country’s oldest continuously occupied government building, and think of previous governors who lived there—as well as Native people who resided there during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. My kids liked seeing the framed document of governor signatures from 1610 to 1910, in a time when signatures reflected personality and style. Don’t forget to wander through the Palace of Governors’ gift shop, where you can find a comprehensive selection of New Mexico books, among other items. You don’t pay sales tax, and your money supports the museum. Talk to the cashier, too—on a recent visit, Lolly Martin, who spends her Friday evenings researching historical archives, gushed about the treasures you can discover in all of our museums.

Meow Wolf’s positive impact bridges decade on arts edge BY ALEX DE VORE
trekked to Meow Wolf in 2017, and Director of Marketing John Feins explains that 900,000 visitors total have stopped by since Meow Wolf first opened the doors at the old alley. The House of Eternal Return is also the most-Instagrammed location in New Mexico, and Meow Wolf has recently announced new, larger installations in Denver and Las Vegas slated to open in the next few years. But perhaps more valuable than facts and numbers has been the positive impact on artists’ lives over the past two-plus years. Meow Wolf reportedly pays well, both for entry-level employees and higher-level creators. Without getting into specifics, narrative team member Bill Rodgers says he makes enough to live comfortably, and that his position allows him to do so while flexing his creative muscle. “There aren’t too many examples out there of a really immersive narrative experience,” Rodgers says, likening Meow Wolf to a gaming experience. The experience at the House of Eternal Return is, after all, akin to the relatively new gaming genre known as a walking sim—an exploratory experience wherein narrative elements exist, but aren’t vital to the overall enjoyment of said experience. “It’s almost like—if you find it, great, and it informs the environment,” Rodgers says of the countless narrative elements found throughout the installation. “It can give context to the place you’re in and, in a way, the story explains the environment and kind of justifies it.” Rodgers, a former journalist from Ohio, says he has no idea what he might be doing had he
not found Meow Wolf. “Being a writer before was always characterized by this low-level, always-present fear that you’re not going to be able to write anymore or find something that supports you,” he says. “Now I have this job that’s going to continue for the
BRENDA LYNN BYNUM
Arts collective-turned-arts mega-corp Meow Wolf turned 10 this year on Valentine’s Day. Its flagship space in midtown Santa Fe hit its second birthday in March. These milestones represent everything the group has accomplished since partnering with fantasy writer/bazzilionaire George RR Martin in 2015 and opening the now world-famous perma-installation in an abandoned bowling alley, but also as an appropriate signpost for a look back over the years. From a run-down old warehouse in the Hopewell-Mann neighborhood in 2008 to its first massive installation, The Due Return, in 2011, Meow Wolf is now a full-fledged and massive artistic funhouse fueled by creative types. The last few years have been good for them. To grow from a series of resource-light art and music events to a world-famous member of the new guard of experiential museums and installations fueled by collectives that aren’t beholden to stuffy old-school arts practices in under a decade is borderline unbelievable. But a place where interactive tech becomes visually stunning masterpieces, where an art installation can have a constantly evolving soundtrack, where artists (both local and not) are paid for their efforts and where people once underserved can have a real, tangible affect on the future of their community was sorely needed in Santa Fe. Meow Wolf is a major local employer, currently boasting 220 employees and, according to CEO Vince Kadlubek, that number should be closer to 300 by the end of 2018. Kadlubek further estimates roughly 500,000 visitors
to be able to make a move like that.” According to Bradley, artists who have long worked with Meow Wolf have a voice within the company and can thrive without management, an atmosphere that has helped her grow artistically. “I’m coming into my own more now,” she says. “I do feel a bit more capable in self-directing, and I definitely do feel heard.” And the jobs keep coming, both near and far. Given Meow Wolf’s current and potential economic impact (an estimated $358 million over the next decade, according the New

foreseeable future, and that job is making cool things that people are really jazzed about.” For Sarah Bradley, an artist who began as a costumer during the 2010 Meow Wolf play The Moon is to Live On, the experience breaks down to trusting the artists. Bradley now works in the podcast department, which was spearheaded by native Santa Fean Warren Langford last year, and is part of the burgeoning Meow Wolf Entertainment arm of the company. “I’ve gone through a lot of different departments,” Bradley says, “and I had no idea, even last year, that I would be doing podcasts—I feel really lucky

Santa Fe legends The Gluey Brothers take the stage at last year’s SFR Best of Santa Fe party in the Railyard.
Comedian John Mulaney once posited that it’s 100 percent easier to just stay home than it is to go out into the world and do something. True enough. But when it comes to the next however-long in Santa Fe, it seems almost harder to shrug off the veritable cornucopia of entertainment goodness. Turn off that Netflix and let that Hulu account lapse—we’re venturing out to do the things, and the things are looking fine.

Cultural Werkers The following people—Eliza Naranjo Morse, Lucy Lippard, Justice Lovato, Israel Francisco Haros Lopez and Ginger Dunnill—werk. By that we mean that their hustle across creative sectors is nothing short of fierce. They bear witness to old and new narratives, center marginalized perspectives, honor communities, work as activists, host fly events and create art in a spectrum of media. Their job titles are many and multifaceted and the labor they perform doesn’t often fit neatly into a 9-5 scenario. And yet, what they do and how they create is both brave and beautiful. We see you!

precise, she is stitching together pantyhose around her own body and then cutting herself out. In her words, “I am in the process of building myself.” Naranjo Morse, an art educator at the Kha’p’o Community School in Santa Clara Pueblo, recently collaborated with Terran Kipp Last Gun (Piikani) at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art on a mural titled Home is Life Journey, a landscape that will one day be inhabited by figures. Naranjo Morse is also preparing for a May 4 exhibition at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (Albuquerque) on the theme of identity, Because It’s Time: Unraveling Race and Place in New Mexico. She’s also collaborating with the Poeh
Cultural Center (Pojoaque) on repatriating Tewa objects, and appears in conversation with the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture about how to honor vessels in its collection as “living beings, as blessings that are here and now, but have come to us in strange ways, by being dug up by archaeologists.” Naranjo Morse is also one of six Indigenous artists to participate in IMPRINT, an exhibit that kicks off Aug. 14 hosted by the Ralph T Coe Center for the Arts during Indian Market, loosely based on the reproducibility and accessibility of print technologies.
Lucy Lippard
Lucy Lippard is a longtime writer, activist and sometimescurator. As a writer, Lippard is downright prolific, having published at least 21 books on place, contemporary art and histories of land use. “I fall
for places more than I do for people,” she says. This fascination started with her 1997 book The Lure of the Local and continued in her 2014 title, Undermining: A Wild Ride through Land Use, Politics and Art in the Changing West. Her latest meditation on the topic is in Pueblo Chico: Land and Lives in the Village of Galisteo, New Mexico, and is forthcoming from the Museum of New Mexico Press. She has lived and worked here since 1993 and has been on the water board, the auxiliary of the fire department, participates in community planning and writes a monthly newsletter. “It was interesting to go from a completely avant garde city [New York] to a traditional setting,” she explains. Despite the differences, or maybe because of them, she has no intention of leaving. This back-and-forthing between multiple locations is the mainstay of her work: Lippard was an essayist in SITE Santa
gonna see me coming,” she says. In 2010, the Lovatos founded their own car club, Enchanted Expressions, a moniker that is inscribed on the driver side door. The club now has chapters across the state and country.Lovato even made lowrider history as the first female lowrider artist included in the New Mexico History Museum’s 2017 exhibition, Lowriders, Hoppers, and Hot Rods: Car Culture of Northern New Mexico.
Israel Francisco Haros Lopez
Fe’s inaugural exhibit in 1995, Longing and Belonging: From the Faraway Nearby, and contributed writing to the the 2015 biennial, SITElines: Unsettled Landscapes. Lippard is a staple of the Santa Fe and international arts communities alike.
Justice Lovato
“When I was growing up, I was always fascinated by the movie Casino with Robert De Niro,” lowrider Justice Lovato says. It was the car he drove that caught her eye—a silver Cadillac Eldorado. When Lovato was in her final year of high school, her parents bought her a 1985 Eldorado and parked it outside “like bait,” she says, until “she had her diploma in her hand.” After serving in the Navy for five years, Lovato and her husband, Julian, transformed the car into a work of down lowrider art. It’s a pale yellow, embellished with burgundy, a color combination that is tribute to the state of New Mexico. It glistens in almost any light, and when you open the door to look at the crushed velvet interior the bling continues. “I’m gonna represent the state, but you’re
Alas de Agua Collective supports and centers Native, immigrant, people of color, queer and underrepresented groups in New Mexico. Israel Francisco Haros Lopez is the most vocal member and driving force, a visual artist, muralist, spoken word poet, coloring book creator and activist who also works as Adelante’s high school homeless liaison. Haros Lopez believes that “all of the members of our community matter, and when we see that value, we operate differently.” Through the collective, Lopez hosts poetry open mics that have migrated between various locations and in the process morphed into much more expansive events that support poetry, live art, an arts market and professional development. The gathering has become a safe and intersectional space for the emergence of counter narratives, for speaking out against white supremacy and displacement. Lopez also gathers youth and other artists to create public works of art—six projects in the last year, including at Studio Center of Santa Fe (formerly Warehouse 21) and Casa Familia at St. Elizabeth Shelter. He gets fired up by the potential of murals to be “free museums to tell the people’s story,” in a format that is “large, colorful, inspiring and consciousness raising.” The murals are like eye candy with broad swaths of blue for back-
grounds and thick black line work that traces the contours of blocky figures who look part animal part human. The gods and goddesses that once populated Aztec codices come to mind. “With everything I’m trying to do,” he says. “I’m wondering what true freedom looks like— land and water rights, home, seeds, sustainability.”

In the preceding months, she co-hosted “Dear Patriarchy” at Meow Wolf, featuring Indigenous activist Winona LaDuke, to raise money for Standing Rock’s water protectors, as well as the Zapatista Movement based in Chiapas. A sound, installation and performance artist, Dunnill is above all a collaborator. She and Demien Diné Yazzie also presented a new body of work, BURYING WHITE SUPREMACY, which kicked off at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York in March. Meanwhile, she is the co-organizer with Kim Smith of a new online platform, Indigenous Goddess Gang, the “only resource of its kind to honor a ‘Indigenous femme prospective’” Stay tuned for an Indigenous tattoo forum, hosted with Kua’aina Associates and Carolyn Kuali`i, during Indian Market on August 18 and 19. “Decolonizing should be something we’re all accountable for,” Dunnill says. “We need each other to survive because there are bigger monsters to slay.”

And we do mean any given weekend—save the first bit of January, every single weekend of the year includes at least one, if not as many as five, theatrical productions in Santa Fe.

Founded and presided over by local actor, director and producer Janet Davidson, the org not only runs the most complete

theater website in town, but it sends a weekly e-mail to let folks know what’s imminently onstage, what’s in the wings and what auditions or workshops you need to sign up for. Theatre Santa Fe is an alliance of 22 local theater companies (and that number often ticks up). In September 2017, it hosted the first-ever Santa Fe Theatre Walk in the Siler-Rufina neighborhood. This year’s Theatre Walk is scheduled in the same neighborhood at 3 pm on Saturday Sept. 15, and features scenes from plays that you may have missed or that are coming up, improv workshops open to all, fun stuff for kids and more. Last year’s party was entirely free and entertained about 600 attendees, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to become an annual don’t-miss event. Another of our favorite projects is Talking Theatre Live, a series of ultra-digestible, super-casual 30-minute video interviews conducted by local director and actor Scott Harrison. Inspired by Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Harrison had a pretty simple concept:

Get Your Act Together
He gets his theater friends in front of the camera and they shoot the breeze about the craft. Anyone who’s ever seen two affable actors chat knows that this is an entertaining time. Follow Talking Theatre Live through Harrison’s theater company’s Facebook page, Ironweed Productions or theatresantafe.org (under the “Community” tab). A company to keep an eye on in the coming year is definitely Oasis Theatre Company. ’Twas founded in New York City in 1988 and moved to Santa Fe in 2017, at which time Artistic Director Bren-

da Lynn Bynum and Managing Director James Jenner decided to load up a bunch of trailers with all their costumes, sets, props, lights and curtains (essentially everything it takes to run a theater, except the building itself) and move to New Mexico. The company quickly set to work producing approachable and polished productions of classic plays (think Chekhov, Mamet and Voltaire). They’re putting up a production of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in October 2018 and, given the caliber of their productions here so far, we couldn’t be more psyched.

The Santa Fe Playhouse is probably gonna freak everyone out like crazy with The Rocky Horror Show June 14-July 1. Last summer’s musical, Cabaret, sold out and even added two performances, so you’re gonna want to get Rocky Horror tix as soon as they’re available (all the info’s at santafeplayhouse.org). Plus, rumor has it that the playhouse is inviting a different guest narrator from the community each evening, and a certain theater writer from your favorite weekly newspaper just may be scheduled to appear. That’s all we’re sayin’. This summer features not one, but two outdoor productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The first comes from the Santa Fe Shakespeare Society, running July 6-Aug. 12 in Monte del Sol Charter School’s courtyard; if you wanna get your comparison glasses on, Shakespeare in the Garden then presents the play at (you guessed it) the Santa Fe Botanical Garden Aug. 17-Sept. 2. And yes, Santa Fe is truly amazing, but we’ve been spinning our tires a bit and have also come to love our neighbor to the south. If you’re down for an Albuquerque sojourn, Tricklock Company (tricklock.com) blows our minds pretty hard, and the Vortex (vortexabq.org) is another go-to. Plus, hey folks—have you seen the inside of the not-so-aptly named Albuquerque Little Theatre (albuquerquelittletheatre.org)? It’s easy to forget there are auditoriums that large! So, yes, Santa Fe’s scene pops off pretty hard, but if we have to share the spotlight with other New Mexico towns, ABQ keeps up with the best of ’em.

documents, firsthand accounts of the Manhattan Project, poetry, Native American song and a Hindu holy text. This tale brings up gut-wrenching moral questions that we may confront again in the coming years. Pay attention. Doctor Atomic debuts July 14, with six performances through Aug. 16.
TIME’S UP
2018
Opera Preview
Opera at the End of the World
Black Mirror, the eerie near-future anthology series on Netflix, might have captured the national zeitgeist, but I’m waiting for its opera adaptation. There’s perhaps no art form better suited to our melodramatic moment than opera. Its roots are gilded and intricate, extending deep into the crystalline well of the upper class and highbrow. However, its most celebrated contemporary practitioners are determined to blow it all up in favor of the proletariat. Just take a gander at the Santa Fe Opera’s 62nd season, which features five productions and 36 performances between June 29 and Aug. 25. One of the highlights is John Adams and Peter Sellars’ 2005 opera Doctor Atomic. Set at Los Alamos National Labs in the summer of 1945, it chronicles the sweaty, contentious run-up to the Manhattan Project’s first successful atomic bomb test. The rest of this year’s productions are packed with wealthy and callous men, sharp women who are determined to turn the tables, decadent but ill-fated parties, and catastrophes both natural and manmade. They’re sure to conjure a disturbingly familiar—and wonderfully cathartic—sense of chaos.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Remember those “me in 2016/ me in 2017” memes that ruled the Internet at the beginning of last year? “Me in 2016” would show a fresh-faced celebrity at the pinnacle of their career, and “me in 2017” was the same celebrity after their inevitable downfall. Think Mean Girls-era Lindsay Lohan followed by one of her bedraggled mugshots. Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, an operetta adapted from a Voltaire story that debuted on Broadway in 1956, is this type of love story. Candide and his fiancee Cunegonde live by the sunny mantra, “Everything’s for the best in this best of all possible worlds.” Spoiler alert: They’re swiftly separated and survive volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, shipwrecks, poverty, prostitution, warfare and—yes—
the Spanish Inquisition before reuniting. Battered but not broken, they decide to scale back their life philosophy a bit. Candide is a company premiere for the Santa Fe Opera, with nine performances from June 29 through August 25. It’s part of the global celebration #BernsteinAt100, honoring the legendary composer’s centenary.
BURNT BUTTERFLY
Attention, amateur sleuths of Santa Fe: The original Santa Fe Opera theater burned down in July 1967, and the cause is still a mystery. The company valiantly completed its season in the Sweeney Gymnasium (now the Santa Fe Community Convention Center), and managed to build a new theater by the following season. Madame Butterfly was the first production on the new stage—a

phoenix from the ashes. The selection was fitting: Giacomo Puccini’s beloved opera was also the Santa Fe Opera’s first-ever production in 1957. This year marks the new building’s 50th anniversary, so it’s fitting once again that Madame Butterfly would come in for another landing. It’s a simple, devastating opera based on an 1898 novella by John Luther Long and a Broadway adaptation by David Belasco. An American naval lieutenant and a 15-year-old Japanese geisha fall in love and she bears a child. He abandons her, and she awaits his return in anguish. When he finally reappears, he’s accompanied by his new wife. Things don’t end well. There will be 11 performances of Madame Butterfly between June 30 and Aug. 24. This is one of Santa Fe Opera’s most popular shows of all time, so get your tickets early.
OPERA-POCALYPSE
It’s chilling that Doctor Atomic still feels topical 73 years after the events of its story, but nuclear apocalypse remains America’s favorite fever dream. This will be the first time the 2005 opera is performed in New Mexico—with the lights of Los Alamos visible from the open-air venue, to boot. It’s also the first work by Nixon in China composer John Adams to appear at Santa Fe Opera. The New Yorker deemed Doctor Atomic his “most complex and inventive work.” The libretto is a stunning palimpsest of excerpts from declassified government
In an opera for the #MeToo movement, Italian model Isabella crash-lands in Algiers on a mission to rescue her lover Lindoro from the tyrannical ruler Mustafà. She fends off romantic advances from Mustafà and the drooling Taddeo, squashes the entire Algerian army, and heads back to Italy with Lindoro in tow. Gioachino Rossini composed The Italian Girl in Algiers in 1813 when he was just 21 years old, and it carries a youthful, kinetic zing that has enchanted audiences for centuries. This production first debuted at Santa Fe Opera in 2002. The revival is once again set in the 1930s, with the protagonist dressed like Amelia Earhart and the set decked out with hot air balloons and a biplane. You’re sure to catch glimmers of Patty Jenkins’ 2017 hit film Wonder Woman in this one. The Italian Girl in Algiers runs July 21 through Aug. 17, with five performances.
IT’LL BE FUN
If we’ve learned one thing from our first year in Trumplandia, it should be this: If a filthy rich and hopelessly conceited man invites you to an ostensibly entertaining party, it will rapidly turn into a horror show. Ariadne Auf Naxos, a 1912 opera by German composer Richard Strauss, is Santa Fe Opera’s hilarious case study on this phenomenon. The wealthiest man in Vienna throws a massive soiree, punctuated by a burlesque show and an opera seria. When time for the two performances grows unexpectedly tight, the opera’s composer is forced to weave the burlesque performers into his plot—to the dismay of the opera divas. Life and entertainment collide, and disillusionment reigns. Sound familiar? Ariadne Auf Naxos was last presented at the Santa Fe Opera in 1999. It opens July 28 and closes Aug. 23, with five performances.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
Jared Weiss in his studio off West Alameda Street, seemingly inhabiting his own work.
JARED WEISS Santa Fe Manual Cover Artist: Sorta from HIS memories BY ALEX DE VORE
Sunlight pours in through the tall windows of artist Jared Weiss’ studio space. Electric guitars lie on a nearby ancient sofa, overstuffed bookshelves line the walls, canvases litter the room emblazoned with works in various states of completion. Upstairs, his girlfriend mills about in their shared apartment; downstairs, Weiss explains how he’ll sometimes change a painting’s course, flip the canvas and start a new piece on the opposite side. He’s working on a new series lately, this one seemingly fixed on the idea of motion and starring friends and loved ones. Weiss’ work has always carried a certain degree of activity, and those close to him have always been featured in one way or another, even if they aren’t immediately recognizable. It’s the creation of something familiar, though dreamlike—the catalyst for sincere emotion; a static work that swims with action and with more going on the longer you observe. Once upon a time, Weiss explained to us Freud’s concept of dream space, or the retooling of memories we find lacking; the hiding of things from ourselves and the creation of personal fiction. He brings it up again now, and how the idea generally lies at the heart of nearly everything he does. But this body of work is particularly staggering, even as it’s still in
progress. “Your headspace has to be right and you’ve gotta want to dive in,” Weiss says of his process while presenting works from the past month or so. “I always have ideas, I’m always working on something—the ultimate goal is for them to look like they’ve almost spun out of control, but I’ve grabbed them at the last moment.” Weiss hails from Ohio, but has called Santa Fe home off and on for five-ish years. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, he says there’s just something about the New Mexico light that makes him stay. “I’m think I’m addicted to it,” he explains. “It’s really good to be here, because it feels sane, and in San Francisco there were so few opportunities. … My friends, we wouldn’t share opportunities with each other because it was so competitive.”
“In That Case, I Had A Wonderful Time” was chosen for this year’s cover based on its bold background and haunting, faceless subject.
Of course, he’s become a bit of a darling in the local art scene since he’s been here. With solo shows at galleries of the caliber of form & concept, group exhibits at places like Freeform Art Space and various other showings across town, it’s generally agreed that Weiss belongs in Santa Fe, or is at least a forebear to a new guard of contemporary painters: He’s young, he’s crazy-talented and he’s not a jerk about it. “Jared Weiss’ work is deeply psychological [and] his hyper-colorful palette feels synesthetic,” Curate Santa Fe’s Niomi Fawn says. Fawn has worked with him numerous times before. “There is something about these compositions that makes you want to join,” they continue, “like a party invitation. For better or worse.” Indeed, Weiss paints with a sense of urgency and says he goes at an almost frantic speed. Here, in his studio, he continues working on a piece centered around a friendly game of football among friends. The iconography of the sport melts away, however, and we lose the awareness of the game. Instead, we zero in on the tangle of arms and legs, understanding it is a group of people but ultimately finding a single breathing organism inhabiting an oddly familiar world. We know this place, we’ve maybe even been there, but we still can’t quite put out finger on it. The word we’re searching for is “beautiful,” even if overuse has stripped the term of its meaning. The light has changed since we’ve been here and the shadows grow longer. With Weiss’ back to the room, all we hear is the scratch of brush on canvas. Maybe we’ve been here before, too.

Between Camino Carlos Rey and Richards Avenue on Cerrillos Road is a small strip we at SFR have informally christened Carne Seca Lane. Here, you can buy zip-locked gallon bags of the most unique beef jerky you’ve likely ever tasted, from three separate locations. Instead of the chewy, preservative-loaded hunks of bagged leather available in most convenience stores, the jerky along this lane is extremely thin and as dry as potato chips, in the Mexican carne seca tradition. You can get it plain, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper or lemon pepper, or dusted in green and red chile, depending on your palette. And in our view, it’s absolutely delicious. Carne Seca Lane in Santa Fe consists of two food carts maintained by Ortega’s Jerky and El Ranchito Jerky, as well as the grocery store El Paisano Food Mart. But the three businesses actually have a common origin, according to Jessie Ortega, whose father, José, started the Ortega establishment. José has been cutting meat since he was 15 years old. He arrived in New Mexico in the 1980’s from Coahuila, Mexico, and began working at the El Paisano store in Española as a butcher about 10 years ago. It was there he began to dehydrate meat and sell it to customers. The beef jerky they sold at the store became popular enough, Jessie tells SFR, that his family began to sell plastic bags of the stuff outside the Walmart in Española and Home Depot in Santa Fe. That was in 2014. “At first people didn’t want to buy from us, but then they saw how good it was,” the younger Ortega tells SFR. “We started getting tired of [security] monitors kicking us out of the parking lot. That’s when when we went in on our own businesses; that’s when we decided to put the little trailers [along] the road.”
Cecy Lagunas reps the carne seca at the El Ranchito trailer.

YEr Meat BY AARON CANTÚ
Mexican and New Mexican flavors combine for some of the tastiest beef jerky around
Around the same time, one of Jessie’s step-nephews who had worked at the El Paisano in Española also launched his own jerky venture. Brian Ramirez was only in 11th grade when he started to sell it door-to-door, and acquired a license to operate a trailer soon after. Today, at 21 years old, he manages the El Ranchito Jerky trailer a few blocks down from the Ortega trailer on Cerrillos, and primarily staffs it with friends and family. Both Ortega’s Jerky and El Ranchito Jerky have trailers in several other cities across New Mexico. “We have a trailer here in Santa Fe, one in Las Vegas, and one in Las Cruces. We go to flea markets and Santa Fe Fiestas, and we ship it all over,” says Ramirez. For his part, Jessie Ortega says their business sells jerky out of trailers in Taos, Española, Pojoaque, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Grants and Los Lunas. The recipe is a fusion of Mexican-style carne asada meat, distinguished by its thin cuts, and New Mexican spices, says Derek Rodriguez, a manager at the El Paisano Española location. The store started selling beef jerky under its own brand after José Ortega left to run his own business. “People come from all over to buy it,” Rodriguez says, including form Colorado, Arizona and California, and they
ship it across the country. Sizes range from $10 for gallon bags to $5 for smaller portions. The growing reputation of his father’s unique recipe may be one of Jessie Ortega’s proudest accomplishments. One consistent customer in Taos, he tells SFR, is a lieutenant in the US Army who purchases the meat in bulk and ships it to soldiers stationed abroad. Its light weight and high protein content make it an easy-to-transport and nutritious snack. Is he bitter that his father’s former co-workers and employer have profited from the Ortega’s original recipe? Not at all, he says. “They sold well, so they thought, they’re going to do the same thing as us,” Jessie Ortega says, his tone the equivalent of a shoulder shrug. “My dad taught them, since they were like family to us.”

Eat Your
Vegetables
One man’s quest to ditch meat for … reasons BY ALEX DE VORE
We all love hamburgers. That most American of foods, that most satisfying meal, that most meaty and terrible-for-us use of red meat; imagine the heartbreak, then, when they turned on me. Meat just doesn’t work anymore, and it isn’t just about the viral videos of terrified pigs or lovesick mother cows watching their calfs headed to slaughter. It’s about health and the environment. Though estimates vary, the Water Footprint Network says it takes about 1,840 gallons of water to produce a pound of hamburger, and it takes 500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat from a chicken. A pound of potatoes takes 100 gallons. Veganism has proven tricky (cheese, glorious cheese), but we’ve all gotta start somewhere. A cross-section of Santa Fe’s most enticing meat-free dining options, then, has come in handy.
LOS MAGUEYES
The impetus for my visit was actually a music performance by pianist Charles Tichenor, who’s there every Friday and Saturday evening, but Los Magueyes has an entire section devoted to the vegetarian. My companion and I respectively ordered the bean tostada and enchilada combo plate ($9) and veggie fajitas ($11.75), and the offerings were fresh and fantastic. Chile was on the lessspicy side and the service was fast and friendly. This one’s hitting the regular rotation, no question. 31 Burro Alley, 992-0304 Lunch and dinner Monday- Saturday
VINAIGRETTE
A salad joint may sound obvious, but when one is recently off meat, having lots of options is paramount to living the dream. Not only does Vinaigrette have that in spades, but they grow many of their own fresh offerings. For best results, try the Omega (a fantastic blend of greens, sweet corn, avocado and blue cheese vinaigrette dressing for $11.50), the All Kale Caesar (shredded kale with Mar-
cona almonds and parmesan) or the spinach-mushroom (with sauteed spinach, mushrooms and hard-boiled egg for $10.25). You can also pair them with another menu option, such as a sandwich or, if you’re cheating, shrimp. We don’t do the shrimp, but we’re not here to judge. 709 Don Cubero Alley, 820-9205 Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday
YIN YANG
Setting aside how hard it is to not go full-on pork or chicken at this fine Chinese establishment, we can fully recommend the sesame tofu ($8.95). Crispy on the outside and utterly un-gooey on the inside, this is the dish to convert tofu skeptics and, when served alongside veggie fried rice or egg drop soup, a completely satisfying meat-free option. Design Center, 418 Cerrillos Road, 986-9279, Lunch and dinner daily
PIZZA CENTRO
Another must for vegetarian newbies, Pizza Centro is so good you’ll barely notice you’re
missing the meat. Try either the Alphabet City (flash-fried eggplant, mushroom, spinach, artichoke hearts and more), the Hudson (skip the bacon, revel in the mushroom, jalapeño and onion) or any of their fine salads (they’ll leave the meat off of most versions). Pies run from $12-$18 and are baked thin, New Yorkstyle—we’re not saying it’s the same thing, though, so relax. Remember they do slices ($3-$3.95) for lunch only, because that one’s broken our dinnertime hearts more than once—though we did totally demolish an entire pizza that one night. South Capitol: Design Center, 418 Cerrillos Road, 988-8825 Eldorado: Agora Center, 7 Avenida Vista Grande, 466-3161 Southside: San Isidro Plaza, 3470 Zafarano Drive, Ste. D, 471-6200 Hours and days vary; lunch and dinner beginning at 11:30 am
ANNAPURNA’S WORLD VEGETARIAN CAFÉ
PYRAMID CAFÉ
This may be one of the best spots in town for everyone to get a little something they want, from carnivores and omnivores to straight vegans. While going veggie, it’s hard to beat Pyramid’s falafel plate ($8.95). With a slight crisp around the edges and a perfectly fluffy hummus in which to dip those bad boys, you’ll not only feel satisfied, you’ll feel healthy enough to stop across the parking lot at Dulce right after for a little treat. Falafel also comes in sandwich form at Pyramid ($7.35), and there are tons of other options as well, like the vegetable moussaka (a Tunisian-style casserole with eggplant and roasted peppers) and the vegetarian couscous with veggies and tomato saffron ($10.75). 505 Cordova Road, 989-1378 Lunch and dinner daily
PLAZA CAFÉ SOUTHSIDE
One of the main reasons to not go vegan or vegetarian is the almost immediate self-righteous attitude these things spawn, but I’ll admit to having been self-righteous about Annapurna’s as an omnivore—I thought it was just for hippies. But you can’t go wrong with the Indian sampler plates ($11.95) or that glorious standby of creamy spinach goodness, saag paneer ($9.95). Annapurna’s also carries veggie wraps and burgers, plus awesome sandwiches, great desserts and chai. The menu is massive.
It’s not so bad being a vegetarian in New Mexico since our regional cuisine can so easily forego meat, but the Plaza Café’s Southside location does have a particular item that we’ve been salivating over— the Impossible Burger ($12.49). This thing looks and cooks and even tastes so much like meat you’ll barely notice the difference, and it’s 100 percent made from plants. Add cheese and chile and you’re really getting somewhere. To be fair, it’s not exactly the same thing, but for new converts or longtime meat-free folk, this one hits the spot.

Drink Local I’ll Drink to that BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN
Going out for a night of drinking, as a woman—either with friends, on a date or alone (the best, as far as I’m concerned)—involves a lot of variables. You have to know how to get the best possible experience out of every stage of the evening. And you have to know where your favorite drinks are, who makes them best and the best possible order in which to drink them. If I’m in the mood for beer I head to one of Santa Fe’s many gastropubs and microbreweries. The relatively new Second Street Brewery Rufina Taproom (2920 Rufina St., 954-1068) offers a selection of Second Street beers on tap alongside a couple of other local offerings. I’m a fan in particular of the Enchanted Cherry Cider by Santa Fe Cider Works ($4), which is tart yet sweet. It’s easy enough, then, to head to Meow Wolf (1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369), an art installation/performance space that defies easy categorization but definitely puts on one hell of a good show. Meow Wolf has recently expanded its beverage program, offering a selection of spirits and mixed drinks alongside beer and wine. The MeowGarita ($12) is a grown-up’s version of a carnival treat; made with reposed tequila, local naranjo liqueur, fresh lime, agave nectar and popping strawberry pearls, topped with homemade cotton candy. Bar manager Evan Schultz says his goal with the new cocktail list is to make “serious cocktails not so serious.” If I’m in the mood for wine I go to the Railyard, where the by-the-glass selection at Joseph’s (428 Agua Fría St., 982-1272) is low-key one of the best in Santa Fe. You can
get a glass of Guímaro Vino Tinto Mencia for $13 or the excellent Alberto Nanclares Dandelion Albariño for $14, two of the most cutting-edge wines currently coming out of Spain. For a more cocktail-focused approach, the right bar depends entirely on who’s behind the stick. Good drinks are really more about people than programs. Sometimes a bar that is perfectly satisfying on its own is elevated when the person making your drink has a passion for cocktails that goes above and beyond the norm. I like Eloisa at the Drury Plaza Hotel (228 E Palace Ave., 982-0883) on the nights that Tom Street is working (Monday through Thursday, by the way). Street is the owner of Street Brothers Beverage Company, and his knowledge and experience go above and beyond crafting the perfect Manhattan to end the night on. Try the Pretty in Pink ($13), a cocktail made from rhum agricole, Lillet Rose and Giffard Pamplemousse Rose, served up with a grapefruit twist. “We love to make this because it is a very pretty drink that packs a lot of flavor and complexity,” Street says. Or go to the hotel’s roof, to Bar Alto for the Sangre de Cristo ($12), made from Angelisco Reposado tequila, spiced orange liqueur, cinnamon syrup, bitters and soda. This is a drink that showcases an alternative way to drink tequila (with cinnamon and orange as opposed to salt and lime). El Farol (808 Canyon Road, 983-9912), has Andrew Roy, winner of the 2016 Arizona Cocktail Week’s Last Slinger Standing competition—and a certified sommelier who cut his teeth behind the bar at the Coyote Cantina. He brings a vibrant enthusiasm and energy to a newly renovated Canyon Road institution. Try the Extra Añejo Oaxacan Negroni, a twist on the boozy Italian classic that substitutes barrel-aged mezcal for gin. Like the Sangre de Cristo, it’s another cocktail that features a unique twist on an agave-based spirit. For a more traditional experience, head to La Posada de Santa Fe’s Staab House Lounge (303 E Palace Ave., 986-0000)
T o n ic
and talk to Chris Milligan, formerly of Secreto at the St. Francis Hotel, who brings an encyclopedic knowledge of classic cocktails to the table (or bar counter, as it were). The cocktail list at La Posada focuses on the classics, so order a Sazerac for $16, a deceptively simple (in this case) cognacbased drink served with a little sugar and absinthe that, in the right hands, becomes absolutely divine. I asked Milligan why it’s his favorite, to which he says, simply: “Because it’s a Sazerac.” For a late-night treat, visit Winston Greene, proprietor of Tonic (103 E Water St., 982-1189). He is a treasure trove of historic cocktail lore, and brings that sensibility to a bar that provides a refreshingly upscale respite from the usual late-night downtown Santa Fe offerings. I recommend getting a Martinez ($12), the cocktail grandfather of the martini, only with maraschino liqueur and sweet vermouth instead of dry. And then Lyft home, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep. You’ll have to wake up and think of a hangover cure before you know it.

DON’T DRIVE
!
There’s no reason to drive drunk. Like, literally zero. Capital City Cab shut its doors last year, but Uber and Lyft are still active in town—and with a small geographic area and virtually no traffic, they’re also particularly affordable. Lorraine Tecza, a retired federal employee, teaches yoga and gives folks rides through both services “to keep herself out of trouble,” she tells SFR. “I enjoy people, so I really like to meet them and chat them up—if they want to be chatted up,” she says. “That’s why I often go to the Santa Fe airport and try to get rides there, because it’s usually out-of-towners and I tell them what’s great about Santa Fe.” As for drunk people, she says, “They’re very entertaining, usually very chatty. I haven’t had any bad experience. ... Either they’re on vacation or they’re drunk and happy, and just happy that somebody’s taking them home.”
RIDESHARE PRO-TIPS Pro-tip 1: Text your driver your exact location. A business name or corner is much easier to find than a street address, this town is really dark, and those in-app maps can be squirrelly. Pro-tip 2: Lyft has always offered the option, but you can now also tip through Uber. So be nice to your driver. (Especially if you’re wasted.)
