Literary and Performing Arts come to La Tienda

November 8, 2011 at 2:18 pm · Filed under Activities, Artist opportunities, New Artists and tagged: , , , , , ,

As part of our ongoing efforts to support artists and promote a gathering rich with creative juices, we are beginning to incorporate the arts across multiple disciplines.

On November  15 at 10 am in The Performance Space, we welcome Santa Fe Improv at La Tienda.  Santa Fe Improv is offering a free class for seniors (55 and above) who want to try their hand at this incredibly fun and creative expression.  The free class will be followed by a regular class schedule.

On November 16 at 6:30pm in The Performance Space, join us for a reading by published poets and fiction writers.  There is a suggested entrance fee of $2 (but if you can’t afford it, it’s ok).

On December 1 at 5:30 pm at Destiny Allison Fine Art, photographer and publisher Eric Swanson will present a free talk on creative economy and how artists can create an income stream in this challenging time.

Coming soon, La Tienda will launch it’s independent film series.  Some good people have stepped forward to steer this initiative but could use some help.  If you are interested in helping to support independent film makers and their films, call Destiny at (505) 428-0024.

La Tienda is committed to being more than a shopping center.  It’s goals are to build community and to promote artists as well as the work they produce.  Emerging artists and established artists need a place where they are valued as much as the work they do.  Santa Fe is home to thousands of artists but there are few places where they can get together, learn from each other, and participate in an environment that is engaging, stimulating and diverse.   La Tienda is that place!

Dog Park for SMALL DOGS ONLY is open

October 18, 2011 at 4:18 pm · Filed under Activities and tagged: ,

Just in time for the cooler weather, Jay and his team have finished construction on the dog park for small dogs at the La Tienda Shopping Center just outside Santa Fe.  While we will be adding ground cover and other amenities in the near future, it is ready to use now.  We recognize that most dog parks are for all dogs.  This can be very hard on both big and small dog owners.  The big dogs sometimes bowl over and injure the little ones even when they are just playing.  Our new park helps to ensure that small dogs stay safe and healthy.
The park is open every day and is free for public use.  No matter where you live, this dog park is for you.
Here are the rules for the park:
  •  Dogs are the only animals allowed in the park – 25
    pound maximum.
  • Dogs must be at least 5 months old with current parvo
    and rabies vaccinations.
  • NO food – human or dog treats allowed.
  • Spayed and neutered dogs ONLY.
  • Guardian must remain inside park with animal-s at all
    times.
  • Maximum total of 3 dependents (dogs/children) per
    adult guardian.
  • All guardians must watch dependents continually and
    are responsible for their actions.
  • Friendly appropriate play only.
  • NO aggressive behavior allowed!
  • Inappropriate or aggressive dogs must be removed from
    park.
  • Any concerns of any type to be reported to Steve – La
    Tienda Mgt. at Eldorado Computerworks.

Cartridges for Kids a huge success

October 4, 2011 at 6:53 pm · Filed under Activities and tagged: ,

The Cartridges for Kids program is much more successful than we had anticipated.  People are bringing in empty inks and toners from both home and work.   Our original goal was to raise between $1200 and $1500 for the school but the community has been bringing in cartridges so often that it appears we will raise over $3000 for school supplies this year.

Last month, we filled the back of a mini van with markers, glue sticks, tissue paper, regular paper, binders and notebooks.  This month, and next, we are using the funds to supply teachers with 8 gig flash drives.  Teachers use the drives to store assignments, move data, and communicate with each other.  They are a vital tool for teachers to be effective in their jobs.

More importantly, teachers are not paying for these supplies out of their own pockets — as was customary prior to the program.  If you have empty ink cartridges or toners, please drop them off at La Tienda.  There are two drop off areas in the shopping center. One is in front of Urban Fix Cafe and the other is in front of Eldorado Computer Works.

EX EX VI at the La Tienda Exhibit Space

September 20, 2011 at 6:46 pm · Filed under New Artists, The Arts and tagged: , , , , , ,

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.

Dean Howel Originator, Coordinator, Artist of EX. EX.

WHO:
35 Artists of EX.EX. VI

WHAT:
An Invitational Exhibition…recognizing/honoring “artistic existence”

WHEN:
Oct. 1-29, 2011; 11-6 Daily; OPENING: Oct. 1st, 5: 00 P.M. -8:00 P.M.

Senayit Sunday, September 18 at 7 pm

September 16, 2011 at 8:46 pm · Filed under live music and tagged: , , , ,

From the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont emerges Senayit, a trio capable of guiding its listeners on an intimate journey by awakening a tribal and grounding energy. Front woman and main songwriter, Senayit Tomlinson, was born to create a distinctive and far-reaching life and sound. A woman of Ethiopian heritage, Senayit was raised in New York City and grew up on 80s pop, as well as traditional Chinese, Indian and Hatian music by way of her cultural family. She later studied in Indonesian gamelan music during college. Her sound today, however, is far from chaotic; her dynamic range, vocal expression and poetic style weave an eclectic, even wild thread of sound throughout her honest and accessible lyrics.
 
Michael Ramirez on bass and Isaac Luxon on drums and percussion complete the trio of Senayit. With a host of musical performance groups under his belt, as well as sound and lighting experience at venues across the country, Michael brings to the group an insatiable urge for experimentation with sound. Isaac, apprentice to master luthier George Morris and lead guitar player for reggae bands groove Shoes and Mo Ambesa, offers his invaluable lyrical style of drumming, attributed to his natural ear and training in instrumental music.
 
 
Recent collaboration with interdisciplinary artist JMoney Fur has allowed the trio of Senayit to tap into its wealth of talents in various performing arts and visual media. Incorporating video, puppetry, and various multi-dimensional arts, Senayit envelopes you to the point of a visceral, physical connection. It is not just music for your soul but something that is happening to you, around you, and never quite leaves you.
