The City of Santa Fe Event Calendar

http://santafeannow.com/

now¡Viva la Fiesta!

Nowhere in the United States is there a weeklong celebration like Santa Fe’s Fiestas. Last weekend, we kicked the week off by burning our gloom in the form of Zozobra; this weekend, we can focus on all the other elements of Fiestas.

Not only is Santa Fe one of the most beautiful places on the planet, it has a deeply rooted spiritual quality that I have not found elsewhere in my worldwide travels. We’re called “the City of Holy Faith” for good reason. God smiles on our community often—some of the recent spectacular sunsets are strong evidence of this.

In spite of being known for our outward appeal, our beauty is more than skin deep. We see it in our local traditions, many of which we’ll be following this weekend. The names of the original Spanish families to arrive in Santa Fe, adorning the Palace of the Governors, form a part of what we observe during Fiestas.

While there are significant historical and religious ramifications attached to Fiestas, it’s really a time to celebrate all the activity around the Plaza that pulls this entire com-munity together. I don’t think of Fiestas so much in the military context, but rather as a celebration of this place we love.

1400 Mile’s Big Ride Celebration

A hardy group of beer lovers and brewers will celebrate the end of Stage Two of a 1,400 mile bike ride to raise awareness about prostate cancer by gathering at Santa Fe Brewing Company and downing a few with the community. Organized by the nonprofit 1400 Miles, the ride began September 6 in Austin and will end in Denver on September 20.

1400 Miles was founded by Davis Tucker, owner of the NXNW Restaurant and Brewery in Austin. Inspired by his friend, craft beer pioneer Don Thompson, who has had a long battle with prostate cancer, Tucker will ride to honor his colleague and the millions of men fighting this disease. “Using craft beer, bikes and a bit of humor, we hope to eliminate the discomfort associated with discussing prostate health and encourage men to get checked,” said Tucker. “Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. One new case of prostate cancer occurs every 2.3 minutes, and a man dies from it every 18 minutes. With more conversation and awareness, we can dramatically transform these statistics. The riders and crew of 1400 Miles are hell bent on doing just that.”—Carolyn Patten

1400 Miles’ Big Ride Stage Two Celebration, September 11, 8 pm, free, Santa Fe Brewing Company, 35 Fire Pl, santafebrewing.com

The Friendship Club

On September 13, guests at The Lensic can experience “an evening filled with music by the Santa Fe Symphony Joplin Ensemble along with

beautiful piano music by Doug Montgomery, a graduate of Juilliard School of Music,” says organizer Mary Stramel.

The sixth annual concert benefits The Friendship Club, a community center that houses a variety of 60 12-step meetings, provides a safe place for people in mental, spiritual, and physical recovery. “More than 200 people come through our doors each day,” Stramel explains. “By attending this function, you provide part of the funding to help keep The Friendship open.”

The club recently purchased a building on Apache Street that will provide more space for the recovery community. “We are looking forward to this fundraising event to provide additional monies and support so that we may complete the Club and provide additional meetings and events,” says Stramel, noting that Children First and First Tee of Santa Fe will also benefit from the concert. Children First helps children of divorce thrive by giving their parents more skills to support them during stressful times; First Tee provides young people with character-building and life skills lessons through golf.—Whitney Spivey

The Friendship Club Concert, September 13, 7:30 pm, $10–$50, The Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, friendshipclubsantafe.org

The Perfect Cut Four times

a year, BlackShirtReads—a screenplay table-read series—holds performances at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. “BlackShirtReads takes screenplays ‘from scripts to lips,’” explains Kathleen Dexter, who founded the series with fellow local screenwriter Joanna Smith-Thole. “This series of professional screenplay readings gives writers an opportunity to hear their work performed and film industry professionals and the public a chance to hear the work of emerging writers.”

Pamela Stovall’s The Perfect Cut was selected for the September 15 show and will be directed by John Hayes. “The Perfect Cut takes the audience on a fast ride with a jewel thief as she tries to keep more than one step ahead of the police, a ruthless bounty hunter, and her own difficult past—all with a sullen teenager in tow,” Dexter explains. The reading will feature local actors and a critique afterward by Janet Davidson, a member of the Directors’ Guild of America.—Whitney Spivey

The Perfect Cut, September 15, 6 pm, $5–$8, Jean Cocteau Cinema, 418 Montezuma, blackshirtreads.net

Since its birth as a volunteer group in 1712, the Santa Fe Fiesta Council has worked to make the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe memorable.

SINGER ZELLA DAY is from Pinetop, Arizona, about 350 miles west of Santa Fe. She’s never been to the City Different, but many of her friends in her adopted hometown of Los Angeles tell her it’s a magical place. “There’s a first time for everything; and music is bringing me to Santa Fe for the first time,” Day says, “which I’m not too sad about.”

The up-and-coming Indie pop star will be here on September 16 for a (free!) show at the Railyard. And even though she’s performed at festivals such as Chicago’s Lollapalooza, the 20-year-old songwriter says playing outdoors is still new for her. “It’s a different kind of transfer of energy,” she says. “The way I converse with the audience and even my gestures have to be a little bigger because there’s so much space for the audience to be in—I have to figure out a way to rope them all in and make them feel a part of what I’m doing.”

What she’s doing is making music—music that is largely inspired by her time in Arizona. “The environment that I grew up in was kind of your picturesque Southwest town with mountains, horses, cowboys, and space,” Day says. “I had a lot of inspiration through beauty, and the Southwest definitely found its way into my record.” That record, Kicker, was released in June and subsequently lauded by the likes of Kate Hudson and The Zombies via social media. “The support from my fans has been shocking,” Day says of the response to the album and the increasing attendance at her shows. “I’m receiving more love than I expected to.”

Day says that love is a constant reminder of who she is, where she’s come from, and the simple fact that making music for a living is a gift. And so she continues to write and compose while on the road—“keeping my receptors sensitive to the creative energy,” she says—in an effort to stay fresh for each performance. “I have to harvest this energy to share with people because people are showing up, and they don’t care where I’ve been or if I played a

show last night because they’re in that room to experience the show that night,” Day explains. “It’s always very humbling, and I always have to keep in mind that it’s new for everybody coming to the show.”

Day is touring the country in a Sprinter van with the four guys in her band and a sound technician. Sometimes her mom joins her on the road to sell merchandise. “We are thinking outside the box and trying to make fun things, Day says. “Together we’ve designed T-shirts and original artwork or posters, we created our own personal incense, and we’re going to be making patches and key chains and bracelets.”

Whether she’s making music or merch, Day says she always tries to rise to the occasion. “This is what I’m doing; this is what I’ve chosen for myself,” she says. Her Santa Fe show will be no different. “I definitely see playing outdoors as a pleasure and a cool thing to do, especially in the summertime when the weather is beautiful,” she says. But first on the agenda for September 16? Shopping. “I’m going to buy some turquoise rings,” Day says. “I am a freak for turquoise.”

ON SATURDAY, September 12, the population of the tiny hamlet of Pie Town, located 222 miles southwest of Santa Fe along U.S. Highway 60, swells from 60 to more than 1,000 for the 35th annual Pie Festival. There are pie eating and baking contests for any resident and out-of-towner interested in participating. The festival begins with a baking contest at 9 a.m. and wraps up at midnight after a dance.

Named after a bakery established in the 1920s, Pie Town is home to master pie maker Kathy Knapp, owner of Pie-O-Neer Pies. Knapp, also known as The Pie Lady, has operated her business since 1995. “I expect to sell more than 200 fruit and cream pies during the event,” she says. “I’m baking six or seven different kinds of pies.”

Knapp’s pies have earned several accolades through the years; they’ve been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and in a 30-minute documentary film made in 2014 by Santa Fe photographer Jane Rosemont, titled The Pie Lady of Pie Town. “Her pie is so good that I’m much fussier about the pie I eat now,” says Rosemont.

The other businesses in town—The Pie Town Cafe, Gettin’ Place art gallery and souvenir shop, and the Windmill Museum—have capitalized on the demand for Pie Town pie by baking their own creations. If you’re hungry for a meal, try the green chile stew at the Pie-O-Neer or burgers and sandwiches at the Pie Town Cafe. Festival vendors set up in Jackson Park sell everything from hot dogs to Navajo tacos.

Maria’s New Mexican Kitchen

A Santa Fe favorite to this day, Maria’s New Mexican Kitchen is celebrating its 65th year serving hungry (and discerning) New Mexicans with a $65 four-course (plus appetizers) anniversary Tequila Dinner on Tuesday, September 15.

Maria’s began as a family-operated home-cooking-style take-out spot. These days, daily lunch specials include everything from traditional enchiladas to a “Green Chile Philly”—a cheesesteak with a distinctly New Mexico twist. Dinner is a dream come true for anyone who longs for authentic Land of Enchantment food, from the New Mexican taco plate (a sampler) to the Galisteo Chicken—found only at Maria’s. First on the menu are Maria’s Famous Green Chile Meatballs, an appetizer billed as “The ‘WOW’ of The Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta Grand Tasting.” We don’t disagree.—Anne Maclachlan

Utah artist Nathan Bennett describes his work as “patina-painting.” He first creates an image on a silicon bronze plate, then uses a hand-held torch to fuse chemical compounds onto the metal. The entire process, from specific temperatures to chemical combinations, is a closely guarded secret, resulting in images that each have a changing, holographic character. In his artist statement, Bennett says, “In times past, I would have had the title sorcerer, alchemist, conjurer, or magician. A strange man eking out life in a dingy room. All around me secret formulas written on walls, scratched into cabinets, and scribed

In modern times, I am called a Master Patineur.” In this solo exhibition, his patina-painted work shows an evolution from pure image to mixed media assemblage.—Carolyn Patten

Terry Protheroe Renaissance man“I would consider myself a craftsman,” says artist Terry Protheroe. “I do metalwork, woodwork, leatherwork, and I’m a European-certified goldsmith, so I work a little bit with jewelry.” Even with a resumé like that, Protheroe is still being modest. Originally from England, Protheroe relocated to Santa Fe in April 2008 after spending 25 years in New York City where he worked as a designer for such illustrious brands as Cole-Haan, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Nauticaa, and Ralph Lauren. “Growing up in London, it never occurred to me I’d end up [in Santa Fe],” he says. “But once I got here, I really fell in love with it. I’m really drawn to the native culture, especially Spanish culture.”

New Mexico’s influence is present in the crafts he sells through his profile (Acme Hardware) on Etsy, but his love for Santa Fe is perhaps most evident in the meaningful connections he’s made within the community, such as his position as a volunteer fire fighter. “I’ve made some great friends here,” he says. “It’s a dozen guys who would literally run into a burning building together, and that’s something special. You don’t get that every day.” Protheroe also works with the Santa Fe motorcycle club, Motorado, which recently celebrated its fourth anniversary. “Next year will be our fifth, and we want to do something special,” Protheroe says. “It’s been getting better every year.” Along with putting his design experience to work on Motorado’s shirts and posters, he fixes up and resells bikes, including the Honda pictured below. He was also the preferred candidate to be the voice of the club in its radio spots for one main reason: his charming English accent.—Jacob Nyenhuis

In addition to these boxes, Protheroe sells trays, sconces, and much more through Etsy, at Acme Hardware.

Protheroe at work in his home studio: “It’s supposed to be my bedroom, but I sleep in the utility space because I’m not going to waste this beautiful space.”

“It was a six month project,” Protheroe says of this Honda motorcycle. “A friend from Albuquerque has helped put the engine back together. It turned out quite nice.”

Roger Williams soft-focus landscapes at Joe Wade Fine Artby Carolyn Patten

artP R O F I L E

Roger Williams, Moonlight Delivery, oil on canvas, 16 x 20"

BORN AND EDUCATED IN Colorado, Roger Williams has been living and painting in Santa Fe since 1986. In his early days, he spent two years teaching at the college level, and he continues to spend time each year teaching studio and plein air techniques in classes and workshops around Santa Fe.

Williams has become most well known for his dreamy, evocative oil paintings of peaceful landscapes and, lately, closely observed scenes of daily life. Iconic images include snowy streetscapes in Santa Fe in the depths of winter, fall aspens on the slopes of Colorado mountains, lush country valleys along the Rio Grande, and Pueblo women dipping water from a pond or caring for their children. As his work has evolved and become more masterly, he has stayed true to creating the peaceful, timeless scenes that speak to his love of the Southwest.

Roger Williams has had more than 20 solo exhibitions and has been included in many featured exhibitions in galleries throughout the United States, Mexico, and France. Over the years, he has traveled and painted on location in more than 30 countries, always concentrating on capturing the connection between humans and the natural environment. He has documented his travels in a 2014 coffee table book, Roger Williams, which includes images of his early and later work, with detailed photographs that show the intricate brushwork involved in creating his Impressionistic style. The book is available at Joe Wade Fine Art, where

Williams will be signing copies during the opening reception for his annual one-man exhibition.

Mat Crimmins skeletal concepts in bronze

From his off-grid home studio on the mesa near Cerrillos, New Mexico, sculptor Mat Crimmins creates one-of-a-kind bronze art. He builds each of his skeletal pieces, seen here, with wax and wood branches collected on his land. “I allow the sticks to create the personality of the skeletal character,” Crimmins says. “I leave the branch’s texture in the finished work, along with weld marks and fingerprints, suggesting the fluidity of not only the wax but the bronze as well.”

An active member of the artist collective Meow Wolf since The Due Return installation in 2010, Crimmins is currently working with The House of Eternal Return project, overseeing the design and construction of caves and creating a larger-than-life, glowing, interactive mastodon skeleton. “Meow Wolf and all of its participants have had a profound influence and have been a source of inspiration in my life,” Crimmins adds.

His new work can be seen in Santa Fe at Pop Gallery’s upcoming show with Nigel Conway (#santafe#enchanted, September 11–30, reception September 11, 6 pm.—Cristina Oldspopsantafe.com

Hib Sabin and Ethelinda bringing “Kindred Spirits” to Manitou Galleries

THE ANIMAL WORLD, from the mythical raven to the mystical horse, is on display in Manitou Galleries’ show Kindred Spirits, featuring work by Hib Sabin and Ethelinda.

Sabin’s interest in world mythology greatly influences his animal sculptures in glass, wood, and bronze finished in watercolor and acrylic. When he chooses to carve his cast of characters—ravens, owls, bears, coyotes, and wolves—out of juniper, he selects wood grown in the southern part of the state. “The juniper from the area around Silver City is a dense wood not susceptible to dry rot, unlike the juniper in northern New Mexico,” he explains. Sabin has traveled extensively, studying different traditions and cultures. His work is inspired by an interest in traditional shamanism, Inuit sculptures, Mexican folk art and the mythological cultures of Native Americans. His most complex works begin with a sketch.

Sketching is also important to Ethelinda’s creative process. Known for painting horses

in motion, Ethelinda often plays with the position of her horses by cutting out paper versions and studying their arrangement before painting them. “I do a lot of anatomical research so I can understand the muscles,” she explains. “Horses’ chests and legs are hard to paint. My horses are big, and many of them come straight at the viewer.” Ethelinda likes to work large, but lately, aware that many of her collectors have limited wall space, she’s been scaling paintings down in size. “These slightly smaller works still have the excitement of the larger ones, so I feel really good about them,” she adds. Putting horses against a white background feels “pure” to Ethelinda. Recently she’s experimented with placing some of her equines against a dark background. “This creates a different mood that I do like,” she says. “The horses seem to pop out.”

style New Mexico Fencing FoundationNEW MEXICO FENCING Foundation (NMFF), the only full-time fencing club in Santa Fe, offers a supportive environment for youth and adults, recreational athletes and international competitors. In a typical class, fencers practice footwork and blade drills, working up to open bouting.

“Fencing tends to appeal to people who gravitate towards puzzles, books, and games, as a highly tactical and engaging activity,” says James Odom, founder and head coach of NMFF, which was established in 2002. “Anyone who picks fencing up will quickly re-alize how important both physical and mental speed are.”

Odom was the 2009 U.S. National Cadet team coach for the World Championships in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and has won acco-lades as both a competitor and and instructor. He is sanctioned by the USFA as a coach in all three weapons: foil, saber, and épée.

Apart from the club, NMFF instructors teach at Santa Fe Girls’ School and La Mari-posa Montessori, and mentor at the Monte Del Sol School.—Cristina Olds

September 11, 5–7 pm

Born and educated in Utah, artist Douglas Fryer has lived in many

different places in the United States, including rural Vermont,

Connecticut, and New York City, where he taught fine art and illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technol-

ogy. A classically representational artist who works mostly in oils, Freyer also creates work in watercolor, is a printmaker, and works in digital media.

Moody, representational landscapes of quiet countrysides figure promi-nently in his work, though he also paints still lifes. In his artist statement, he

writes, “I create images that become material records of places, things and people that have been significant to me. Often, as I paint them they become significant to me in a different way: aesthetically, conceptually, and spiritu-

ally. There is a state of existence that lies between one’s physical and spiritual state, the present and the past, the reality and the symbol or impression. It is while I am in this frame of mind that life and the world seem the most clear and meaningful. It is to this state that I desire to return, and painting is one

of the avenues through which I can regain and expand those feelings.”—Carolyn Patten

Custom pendant, 14K design with sterling silver base and neck chain.Below: solid gold wedding and engagement rings.

DESIGNING AND CREATING jewelry with personal significance and meaning has always been important to Helen Chantler and Marc Choyt, owners of Reflective Images Jewelry on Baca Street. Now, as Fairtrade International’s first certified Fairtrade Gold jeweler in the United States, Reflective Images is using gold that has been mined by workers earning a fair wage in safe working conditions in some of its designer, custom, and one-of-a-kind pieces. The 20-year-old company, which was honored by the city of Santa Fe with a Sustainable Santa Fe award in 2014, has a goal to incorporate fair-trade gold in every one of the 3,000 pieces in its inventory within two years.

Company president Choyt is an activist in the jewelry sector and serves on the board of the Santa Fe Green Chamber of Commerce. “The antidote to the disconnect between jewelry’s sourcing and symbolism is to create a new cultural narrative that actually connects customers to producer communities,” he says.

All of Reflective Images’ solid gold pieces, including their popular wedding bands and engagement ring sets, are made with fair-trade gold. The company currently buys its fair-trade gold from the Sotrami mine in San Filomena, Peru and will be purchasing gold from mines in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania later this year. Every piece of jewelry that has fair-trade gold in it will have a stamp on the back.

Reflective Images recently redesigned its website (reflectivejewelry.com), featuring informa-tion about fair-trade gold and the most recent work by Chantler, the compa-ny’s creative director and lead designer. “Jewelry is about what is essen-tial and real and what can awaken us now to beauty and connection,” Chantler says. —Emily Van Cleve

A few miles south of Santa Fe, the arid high desert landscape gives way to a lush, 35-acre natural cienega with a startling abundance of water-loving plants, birds, animals and insects. Part of the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve is located on the I-25 frontage road south of Santa Fe, adjacent to El Rancho de las Golondrinas in the village of La Cienega. Three

distinct plant communities—riparian/wetland, transitional, and dry uplands are tucked into this magical preserve, making it a lovely spot for a quiet walk or family outing. The preserve is named for naturalist Leonora Scott Muse Curtin, who came to New Mexico

from New York in 1889. Her landmark book Healing Herbs of the Upper Rio Grande compiles her research on naturally growing herbs.—Carolyn Patten

Since 2002, Wise Fool New Mexico has offered a circus camp for women of all ages to challenge their preconceived notions of themselves both physically and emotionally, and to express themselves through acrobatics using a trapeze, aerial fabric, stilts, and physical theater. Recently, choosing a theme of “transformation,” 25 women choreographed a performance piece that celebrated the personal growth they had experienced during six weeks of BUST workshops. Directed by Jasmine Quinsier, the group performed three times at the end of June.BUST program director Deirdre Morris says the circus workshop concept was developed to create a safe, noncompetitive space for women to push their own boundaries, and that every year, longlasting bonds have formed as the participants create change in their lives. “This year, many participants initially said it took a lot of effort to attend BUST,” Morris says. “By the end, they were saying that with the support of each other, they had found an internal strength, and had ‘broken through’ some perceived barriers in their lives.”—Cristina Oldswisefoolnewmexico.org
