     First American Art Magazine announces its pilot issue is now available online at firstamericanartmagazine.com. 

    A new publication, First American Art Magazine explores all aspects of Indigenous American art, from the visual to the literary. 

    Unlike any other magazine on the newsstands, its focus is on Indigenous art of the Americas from an Indigenous perspective, presenting Indigenous critical theory in a way that’s accessible to the general public — both Native and non-Native.

    “We want to get to the content and context of the art,” editor/publisher America Meredith (Cherokee Nation) said, “We provide reviews of Native American art shows by Indigenous art writers and profile established and emerging artists from a wide range of media, geographic region and tribal affiliation.”

  • 'Elements' mix science with art

    The Fuller Lodge Art Center has an element for everyone in the new exhibit “Periodic Table” runs through early June. Dozens of artists from across New Mexico have taken on, and interpreted the Periodic Table in an entire spectrum of reflections, and the result is a truly eclectic collection. 

     The Elements have been described as the basic building blocks that make up our world, and what could be more fun to an artist than playing and rearranging those blocks? 

    Really, it’s only fitting in a show based on understanding the world through categorization, an attempt should be made to categorize the exhibit itself.

  • Chance to explore Utah's Capitol Reef

    The public is welcome to attend a meeting about an upcoming trip to Utah’s Capitol Reef, hosted by the Los Alamos Mountaineers.
    The meeting, explaining the trip and event announcements will be at 7:30 p.m., May 15 in the Great Room at Fuller Lodge. Happy Canyon, in the Robbers Roost country, will also be one of the wild places covered.
    The May program of the Mountaineers will follow the meeting.
    Between Utah’s more famous and most visited national parks lies a spectacular array of natural features that invite adventure and appreciation.
    Centered on the less known Capitol Reef National Park, this area offers challenging slot canyons, high mountains, intriguing rock art; and the ideal antidote for stress, traffic jams, and 24/7 communication: true solitude.
    Public land and minimal bureaucracy due to low visitation pressure combine to encourage backcountry exploration.
    The May program of the Los Alamos Mountaineers, by Rick and Lynne Stinchfield, will cover this remote region.
    Because slot canyons and narrows offer the best mix of beauty, physical tests and the unknown, the program will cover several, including at least one in Capitol Reef, the San Rafael Swell, the Dirty Devil River region, the Little Rockies area and perhaps in the Circle Cliffs.
