If you missed the Hidden Treasures of Santa Cruz Valley OPEN STUDIO TOUR 2009 this weekend, it is not too late, you still have another chance next weekend (4/25 & 4/26).
This event offers you an opportunity to see and experience the creative process at work in the studios of participating artists throughout the Santa Cruz River Valley. You can enjoy the back roads of Santa Cruz County with its magnificent landscape and enjoy the hospitality of the artists who open their doors to you.
My husband and I attended the Opening Reception on 3/27 at the the Tubac Center of the Arts. We saw some of the works of the artists active in the Santa Cruz Valley. We also heard a fascinating talk by the sculptor David Voisard, who has a studio just north of Tubac in Amado. It was an amazing and very enjoyable evening. We immediately became members of the Tubac Center of the Arts.
Let's talk about the Open Studio Tour again. My husband and I went to several working studios (painting, jewelry, and metal sculpture) this past Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and the demos. We learned a lot about the artists and the creative process, and discovered that Santa Cruz County is home to many artists, creating fantastic, inspiring, and thought-provoking pieces of art.
This coming Saturday, 4/25, from 2:00- 4:00PM at the Michael Arthur Jayme Studio & Gallery, R. Carlos Nakai will be performing live on the flute, free admission. Michael's Studio & Gallery is at the Amado Territory Ranch. Nakai is of Navajo-Ute heritage, and he is the world's premier performer of Native American flute music. It will be an honor and a treat to hear him.
Go to www.tubacartcenter.org to get additional information and the detail map for the Tour. You will discover a vibrant world that you might not have known existed in Southern Arizona. Call me if you need more information or have questions. I will be at Michael's Studio in Amado again this Saturday, this time to listen to Nakai's performance. SEE YOU THERE !!!
