Written in the 10th Anniversary Issue of "The Ink" Newspaper:
(Tularosa) The Mano y Mente Artist in Residence Program will showcase its national and international artists' dynamic and diverse art on November 15 at 7pm at 220 Granado Street. The Fall 2008 Artists include Jafang Lu from Taiwan, Craig Paul Nowak from Chicago, IL, and Douglas Rassier from Minnesota. Each artist will exhibit his or her style ranging from pinpoint realism to colorful, Dali-inspired surrealism. These are up-and-coming artists in the art world and the show is not to be missed!
For the past two years the Mano y Mente Artist in Residence Program has been attracting professional, faraway artists to the remote, enchanted village of Tularosa. During each 3-month session a new group of artists spends half its time painting in diverse landscape painting regions (White Sands, Three Rivers, Mal Pais, etc.) and other half of its time painting within Tularosa. The artists interpret their experiences through their own imaginative, individual styles. Every session ends with a public exhibition and with artists completely captivated by stunning southern New Mexico. For details, visit www.manoymente.com .
