Programs and Exhibitions
December 2008
Special Exhibitions_______________________________________________________
Dust and Pearls:
Showing Attitude in Cowboys and Cowgirls
Through December 7, 2008 – Theatre Lobby Gallery
This exhibition showcases the artwork of Santa Fe artist David DeVary,
the featured artist for the 6th Annual Southeastern Cowboy
Festival & Symposium. DeVary believes the cowboy and cowgirl are the
American icon of today. As such, these subjects deserve to be painted
like the religious icon paintings of much earlier times. DeVary uses
metals such as copper, gold and silver along with acrylic paints to
present portraits of cowboys and cowgirls who are full of attitude and raw
emotion.
Abandoned Beauty:
Trucks of Enchantment, Photography of Barbara Bowles
December 9, 2008 –March 1, 2009 – Theatre Lobby Gallery
Based in Santa Fe, Barbara Bowles has traveled the Southwestern United
States discovering unique subjects for her photography, including
junkyards. Using her camera, she has captured the spirit of a bygone era,
as well as the color and textural variations that can be seen in
weathering and decaying vehicles along with other subjects from her native
New Mexico and beyond.
