EX EX VI at the La Tienda Exhibit Space
EX.EX.:
Excerpt Exhibition
The sixth annual EX.EX.: Excerpt Exhibition will be presented at the La Tienda Exhibit Space in Eldorado during the month of October, 2011. The invitational will present 35 local artists, who individually exemplify un-common interests, sensibilities, and notions about ART, and its practice. Some are emerging in their homes & are new to exhibitions; some are students; some are everyday artists…doing their things; some are internationally renowned; all are pushed, pulled, and motivated by a “feeling”–a longing–which never goes, away! “They rock”…in their own world! For these reasons, each has been invited to select & show two pieces in EX.EX. VI ! The criteria is established by artist/professor, Dean Howell…who writes:

Artistic Existence
There’s an artistic soul, an artistic process, and an artistic object. Inherent to them all, is artistic existence. The EX.EX. concept is about honoring the fact that at the end of the day-everyday-there are those who find themselves pursuing this existence, sometimes unknowingly…and there are those who simply embody it-whether they intend to or not…whether they’re judged good at it or not.
EX.EX. VI: Excerpt Exhibition presents artists, who are… to the side, underneath, and over the top of normal levels of soul, process, and objectified existence. We need to study them hard.

Dixon Apple Orchard Benefit
As you may be aware, on the morning of June 27, 2011, Dixon’s Apple Orchard, exclusive growers of the Champagne Apple, and a beloved New Mexico tradition since 1944, was devastated by the Los Conchas Wildfire. The family home, storage facilities and essential equipment were destroyed.
A about a month ago we recieved a call from someone that wanted to help, to do something to help this family. That call started what seems like another wild fire. Individuals, community groups and businesses are coming together to create a fundraising benefit to help a really wonderful family.
Come join us Saturday, August 27th from 12pm to 6 pm at La Tienda for the Benefit for the Mullane Family, owners of the Dixon’s Apple Orchard. Click Here for a google map to La Tienda.
This will be a fun family day for everyone. There will be a Raffle and Silent Auction, put-put golf, horseshoes, games, classic cars, bike rodeo, horse rides for the littler kids, food and drink, music, clowns, yoga, spinning classes, and so much more.

Whet your appetite for gardening, learn how to make things grow in desert soil, and get inspired to start a project of your own – at the 2nd Annual Eldorado Area Gardening Tour, Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This year’s self-guided tour includes seven private residential gardens and the Eldorado School Community Garden and Outdoor Classroom.
What sets the Eldorado Area Gardening Tour apart from other tours is its focus on education. Gardeners, Master Gardeners and homeowners act as docents at each garden to answer questions.
Topics to explore include hardscapes, xeriscapes, cactus, native grasses, perennials, water management, planting strategies, trees, shrubs, vegetables and herbs for high desert gardening. A plant list will be available at each location.
Starting point for the tour is the La Tienda shopping center, just off 285 on Avenida Vista Grande, where visitors can pick up a free tour map. New this year, for a $5.00 donation, is a goody bag full of seeds, fact sheets and a color brochure that details water use per square foot for each garden. Proceeds from donations benefit the Eldorado School Community Garden and Outdoor Classroom.
