Denver, CO - New Mexico artists have friends in high tech places. The Western States Arts Federation

(WESTAF) will begin mailing applications to visual artists this fall for membership in the New Mexico page of ArtistsRegister.com,

a multi-state Internet Web site now showcasing over 1,000 artists from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

New Mexico Arts has partnered with WESTAF to fund and develop ArtistsRegister.com/New Mexico. Annual memberships are

available to all artists living and working in New Mexico. The service will provide artists with subsidized membership fees, nation-

al and international exposure for their work, and updated information about local, regional, and national opportunities and events.

ArtistsRegister.com/New Mexico will offer artists four annual membership options ranging from a free Artist’s Listing, a text-only

display that includes the artist’s name and contact information, to a 12-Image Artist’s Portfolio, featuring the artist’s contact infor-

mation plus twelve images of their work, a link to their own Web site, an artist’s statement, a list of services offered and their

resume for $100.

ArtistsRegister.com currently houses artists’ contact information, resumes, and work samples. In January 2001, concurrent with

the launch of ArtistsRegister.com/New Mexico, the site will be re-launched as an e-commerce site. Artists will have the option to

sell their work online through the site or to have Web site visitors, including collectors, interior designers, gallery owners, cura-

tors, architects and consultants, contact them directly.

New Mexico Arts also will pilot WESTAF’s development of a public art tool that will provide guidelines for a variety of public art

programs to professional and emerging artists, including current project opportunities, deadlines, and contact information for

agencies throughout the United States that sponsor public art. Public art administrators seeking artists for projects will be able

to search and find comprehensive information about existing work, design teams, size, location, locator maps, value, materials,

personal references and more when this component is launched in Spring 2001.

WESTAF is dedicated to the creative advancement and preservation of the arts in the West. The 25 year-old organization serves

the twelve Western states through arts research, arts program development, sponsorship of cultural policy forums, and innova-

tive art and technology projects. For additional information, please visit the WESTAF Web site at www.westaf.org.

For more information about ArtistsRegister.com, or if you would like to join, please visit http://www.ArtistsRegister.com or

call WESTAF at (888) 562-7232.

New Mexico Arts invites you to join us February 8 - 9th, 2001 as we discuss a statewide vision

for arts education and develop a plan for what each of us can do in our schools and communities to assist learning in and through

the arts.

Integrating the Community, held at the Glorieta Conference Center in Glorieta, NM, will be an opportunity to network, build

resources, and make plans for your involvement in arts education. This two-day summit will be lead by nationally recognized arts

educators.

We will begin with a discussion of the current state of arts education in New Mexico and the Statewide Vision as developed by the

Arts Education Task Force. The group will then break up into three distinct tracks. Artists and arts organizations will discuss

their experiences with arts education, participate in an arts-integration workshop and examine ways to work more closely with

schools to meet Arts Standards. Local arts councils and community members will discuss the state of arts education in their

areas, participate in community-building workshops and examine ways to increase arts education in their communities. Educators

and education administrators will discuss the state of arts education in their schools, participate in an arts-integration workshop

and examine ways to increase arts education in their schools.

The second day of the summit will be spent in groups based on locale or region, not the tracks. Each group will focus on build-

ing partnerships, sharing experiences, and creating a plan for increasing arts education in the schools and community organiza-

tions in their region. The summit will conclude with the conference facilitator reporting on the work of the groups and working

toward a consensus of understanding about the actions and roles needed to reach the Statewide Vision. Please note: this con-

ference was postponed from October 26 - 27th, 2000 to February 8 - 9th, 2001.

If you are interested in attending Integrating the Community, please call us for more information at 505/827-6490, instate

800/879-4278 or email Alec Franklor at afranklor@oca.state.nm.us.

Purchase OnlyProgram/Phase OneDEADLINE: JANUARY 11, 2001

The NM Arts’ Art in Public Places Program announces the

Purchase Only Program, the goal of which is to purchase a

statewide public art collection of the highest caliber that

reflects the cultural, ethnic and artistic diversity of New

Mexico’s artists. Phase One of this program provides an oppor-

tunity for New Mexico artists to sell artwork that is priced up

to $7,500.

Approximately 100 sites with 1% for public art funds will pur-

chase existing artwork. Artists will submit one set of slides of

artwork which is available for sale. Submissions will be juried

by a selection committee prior to being viewed by each geo-

graphic Regional Buying Committee. Sites will purchase a

variety of interior and exterior two- and three- dimensional

work. Committees will not be seeking theme related or site-

specific work, but rather want to view a wide variety of quali-

ty, existing artwork. All media and styles will be accepted.

A call for entries with specific submission guidelines will be

mailed on October 2, 2000 to anyone residing in New Mexico

who is on the NM Arts’ Art in Public Places mailing list. If you

are not on this mailing list or did not receive the Call for

Entries, please call NM Arts at 505/827-6490 or instate

AIPPANNOUNCEMENTS Glass and Steel for NMSUBuilding

Sculptor Ken Leap of Portales, NM was selected to create artwork

for the courtyard of the new Center for Sustainable Development

of Arid Lands Building at New Mexico State University in Las

Cruces. His sculpture, entitled “Ondas del Seno (Sine Waves)” was

designed using the themes of agriculture and natural resources.

The sculpture, a series of six tall, rectangular glass and steel

pieces, are arranged in groupings of one, two, and three sculp-

tures placed at three different locations within the courtyard. The

glass work incorporates a technique Ken developed called refrac-

tive relief sculpture and depicts agricultural themes.

Ken states, “My goal is to create artwork which is approach-

able by everyone and yet thought provoking and different.”

Public Art Residencies

The Albuquerque artist team of Ramsey Rose and Randy Hill

has been selected by four Albuquerque Public Schools

(Comanche Elementary, Zia Elementary, Grant Middle, and

Valley High School) to complete a six day residency at each

school. Ramsey and Randy have proposed a project entitled

“Art in the Real World,” designed to take students through a

pragmatic process of completing commissioned artwork.

Students will begin with technical and theoretical preparation,

development of artistic and logistical strategies, and final pro-

duction of a permanent work of art which will become part of

the state’s public art collection. Ramsey and Randy will set up

a digital studio allowing students to use digital photography

and PhotoShop software in the production of their piece. The

completed artwork will be displayed at each of the participat-

ing schools.

Belen High School has selected Las Cruces artist Glenn

Schwaiger to work with art students on the creation of a

ceramic tile mural. Belen art students will participate in all

phases of production from concept, mixing clay, hand-forming,

decorating through firing and installation. A completed public

artwork installed at the school will be the result of Glenn’s 24

day residence and work with the students.

Piedra Vista Panther

The Piedra Vista High School Local Selection Committee in

Farmington has chosen local artist Mark Silversmith to paint

a realistic Florida panther, the school’s mascot. The panther

will be depicted in a NM landscape much like the school’s sur-

roundings. Mark’s painting will hang in the new school library

and should be completed winter of 2001.

OPPORTUNITIESDEADLINE NOVEMBER 27, 2000

Call for Cover Art for the 2001 Border Book Festival. The

theme of the 2001 Border Book Festival is Ancestral Voices: A

Living Legacy. The theme presents the work of writers who

are carriers of the word, the healthy and transformative living

spirit of the ancestors/los antepasados — not only human, but

also those forces and spirits we call river, mountain, the count-

less forms and energies - whose lives resonate within us. The

image should convey this theme and may be in any printable

medium (e.g. painting, line art, photo). Please submit a sketch

with price, resume or bio, any other materials such as exam-

ples of past work, and your complete address (including email

if available) to: Border Book Festival, 422 N. Alameda, Las

Cruces, NM 88005. For more information call 505/525-

1499,or bbf@zianet.com, www.zianet.com/bbf/.

DEADLINE: TBA

Drawing on the success of projects mounted in Chicago and

New York involving life-size fiberglass cows painted and

embellished by artists, HorsePower New Mexico is organiz-

ing a similar project on a statewide basis with horses.

Approximately 200 life-size fiberglass horses will be commis-

sioned for imaginative “equine re-engineering” by New Mexico

artists and placed in the public landscape around the state

from June to October 2001, after which they will be auctioned

with proceeds going to charity. The exhibition, entitled “The

Trail of the Painted Ponies,” will be sponsored by corporations,

businesses and individuals. For a prospectus, send an SASE

to HorsePower New Mexico, 1221 Luisa St., Suite C, Santa

Fe, NM 87501 or email HorsePower@cybermesa.com.
