this week’s
nowTHERE ARE MANY JOYS of living in Santa Fe, but what always draws me is the number of our unique celebrations—unique, at least, in the way we celebrate them.
Truly unique is the Rodeo de Santa Fe, which reminds us of the root of our life here in the American West. Modern-day cowboys from throughout the country descend on the rodeo grounds to compete for prize money and points that go toward national recognition. Few experiences in Santa Fe offer anything as genuine as going to one of our local rodeos. Opening with a parade on Saturday, June 20, the Rodeo de Santa Fe runs from June 24 through June 27.
Also unique is this Sunday’s Madrid blues festival, where the concertgoers are as entertaining as the performers. And throughout the weekend, almost all of our local clubs have a wonderful array of excellent musicians.
Is there anything as unique as seeing the studios of 68 local artists as they throw open their doors and allow us to peek into their creative worlds? Run-ning this weekend and next, the Santa Fe Studio Tour is your opportunity to connect with artists within their studios. No place on earth can offer this experience in the way that Santa Fe delivers it.
And finally, there’s Make Music Santa Fe, a personal favorite. A few years ago, I became aware of the wonderful French tradition of making music on the day of the summer solstice. Based on that, and seeing what other com-munities around the world have done to further this wonderful tradition, Mary Bonney from William&Joseph Gallery and I created the first Make Music Santa Fe event. It started something so wonderful that the Santa Fe Music Alliance has taken it over and added a profes-sional touch. I’m so impressed with what they’ve done with the 2015 lineup. This Sunday, we will all be able to hear what they’ve accomplished as a string of wonderful local musicians takes the stage in the Railyard, starting at 3 pm.
Wherever you go this weekend, it will be quite easy to have a unique, only-in-Santa Fe experience.It’s what we do. Bruce Adams

buzz the
perfect action Max is the wild card in Mad Max: Fury Road,
not the hero. After capture, escape, and recapture, all within the first five minutes of the movie, he finds himself randomly attached to a chase through the post-apocalyptic desert. Evil men are pursuing good, innocent women. Max helps the women. He’s not especially nice to them—he barely speaks and never smiles—but whenever they engage the men, Max snaps into action driving, shooting, brawling, exploding, leaping, fixing.
Tom Hardy plays Max as an insane man haunted by hallucinations. He’s a bulky, fast athlete performing fearless feats in a mortal fight and race to freedom. Mel Gibson’s Max had a great dog in 1981’s The Road Warrior. In Fury Road, Max is the dog. But whose?
Charlize Theron, acting demigod, plays Imperator Furiosa, and she’s the movie’s heart and hero. Furiosa doesn’t say much either, but we get enough to know what she’s doing and why. The exposition is minimal—we aren’t told Furiosa’s history with the hideous masked villain on their tail, nor is there any explanation of why she has a robot arm. There’s only the extreme situation, in the moment. They need to get away.
This speaks to the major failing of comic book movies and this entire era of PG-13 franchise blockbusters. They forgo action for elucidation in a greedy quest to develop characters we’ll follow across subsequent movies. Long conversations might be fine in cerebral dramas or sharp comedies, but
Fantase Fest This weekend, De Vargas Skate Park
hosts the third annual Fantase Fest, a multi-media interactive light festival that brings classical singers, alternative musicians, and light projection artists together with skateboarders, aerial performance artists, and local dancers for a huge community celebration.
Presented by Creative Santa Fe, whose mission is to build community through facilitating connections and collaborations, Fantase Fest features a potpourri of performances and interactive activities showcasing the City Different’s artistic diversity. Members of the Santa Fe Opera and the National Dance Institute, musician Jerry Lopez, and local bands (including Thieves & Gypsys, Scarlet Cortex, and The Lymbs) will take the stage, while art installations and light shows are set up around the park.
The Las Cruces-based non-profit dance company Project In Motion has been invited to showcase The Hypatia Skywatchers, a collaborative project involving aerial dance, sculpture, projection, and music that celebrates the science and mystery of the cosmos. Santa Fe-based Outdoor Vision Fest (OVF) Collective will project motion graphics, photography, and other abstracted visual elements on the facade of the Santuario de Guadalupe as a way of looking at Santa Fe’s past and future.
Charlize Theron plays Furiosa, a woman looking to make it back to her childhood homeland.
Stay up late at Fantase Fest, presented by Creative Santa Fe.

And of course, you can’t hold a festival in a skate park and not incorporate a skating event, so bring your board for a skate jam, which will start at 6 pm.—Emily Van Cleve

these are action flicks. Simplicity is their essence. I dread the new PG-13 Terminator movie, coming later this summer to talk our ears off.
Mad Max: Fury Road’s “R” rating affords the freedom to be truly insane. This may be a franchise, but all it’s selling is fun. Furiosa, Max, and the women stop a few times to breathe, drink, stretch, and tinker with the engines on Furiosa’s war rig, but the bad guys are always gaining, cutting straight dusty trails through the distance. Max will have to kill them.—Phil Parker

Joel Nakamura lives in the West where he is influenced by his everyday experiences. These paintings were handcrafted and painted with cactus spines, hot air balloon musings and the yip-ee-i-ays of coyotes. Joel paints while wearing his barking hat, Jingo, who reminds him to take time out to watch the sunset.
The American West has always been a place of adventure and
natural beauty. With its wide-open spaces and sense of freedom,
it’s a place of enduring dreams and new ideas.
Open the cover of this beautiful book and
accept award-winning artist Joel Nakamura’s invitation to Go West!
Come along and join his colorful cast of characters to explore the magic that abounds in the lands west of the Mississippi (and really
in any place where the sky is big and the rocks tell stories!)
Come along and explore the frontier of the imagination! Come along and dream big!
Come along and roam free. . . Go West!A perfect bedtime read, and a delight to the eye.
$17.95 U.S.
In this imaginative visual feast, award-winning artist Joel Nakamura delights the explorer in each of us. Vivid, hand-painted color illustrations along with simple, rhythmic prose take us to a place of adventure and courage. A place of natural beauty and wide-open spaces. A place of enduring dreams and hard work, where everything is possible. A place for the imagination to roam free, and the mind to challenge its own frontiers.
Go West!

Fiddler on the Roofcelebrate the fabled play ’s s ixth decade at The Lensic
LOCAL PRODUCTION COMPANY Musical Theatre Works is reviving a long-running Broadway musical at The Lensic this weekend. Fiddler on the Roof, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, shows three times this weekend.
“It has a very contemporary feel,” says Roy Rogosin, who founded and directs MTW with his wife, Eileen. “Watching the six o’clock news, we see all sorts of people dispossessed from their homes, succumbing to the political powers that try to run them out of their counties, making them homeless and second-class citizens. Also, it’s fundamentally about family, which is at the core of civilization and our lives. It makes a positive statement about the role of family.”
Rogosin is also the musical director of the production, conduct-ing the 10 musicians who will play the original New York score.
Although the music is classical, the set design isn’t. As Rogosin relates, the original production was based on Tevye and his Daughters by Sholem Aleichem, but the musical didn’t bear the same name. Finally, someone involved in the production saw a painting by Marc Chagall of a fiddler on a roof. “It was of a man teetering—a man trying to maintain his balance against very challenging odds, which is what this story is about,” Rogosin says. Of course, the musical soon bore the name of Chagall’s painting. Honoring that origin story, during the local production, images of Chagall paint-ings will be projected on the non-traditional set. Psychiatrist Barry Panter will give a talk on the artist’s work on June 21 titled “Marc Chagall: Creativity and Healthy Narcissism.”

Of course, the story’s power comes through the actors. Stage veteran Paul Walksy plays Tevya; Susan Kaplan plays Golda. Alaina Zachery, as Yenta, and B. J. Stokey, as Frumma Sarah, round out the cast. Thirteen-year-old violin prodigy Phoenix Avalon plays the fiddler. “He’s stunning, concert-caliber,” Rogosin says of the young talent, just one of the fresh elements in the Santa Fe production of this celebrated musical.

Plein Air FestivalThis year’s Santa Fe Plein Air Festival was the biggest to date, according to cochair Tobi Clement. “We have consistently grown,” she says. “We had more than 80 people apply to be in the show this year; 51 were juried in by three very well known jurors—Bill Gallen, Lee McVey, and Bud Edmondson.”
the third annual event featured a quick draw a long the Santa Fe River
The sixth and final day of the festival culminated in a quick draw competition. “It’s pretty exciting,” says Clement of the
June 12 event. “Everyone is jockeying for a position along
the Santa Fe River Park.”
For more information about the event, visit papnm.org.
Quick draw artists had two hours to begin and finish a painting. Taos artist Peggy Immel juried the final creations that afternoon.
June 12 was cool and overcast—perfect weather for standing outside and creating art.

Plein Air Festival Make Music Santa Fe celebrate the solstice with summer sounds
WHAT BETTER WAY to take advantage of 16 hours of daylight than by making music from every street corner, park, rooftop, and garden? In 1982, Jack Lang decided to make that idea a reality with Fête De La Musique (“festival of music” in French). More than three decades later, Make Music, as it’s now called, is a global summer solstice event that includes more than 700 venues around the world.
Participate locally via the third annual Make Music Santa Fe at the Santa Fe Railyard. Presented by the Santa Fe Music Alliance (SFMA), a nonprof-it volunteer organization dedicated to fostering creativity and community by supporting a sustainable and vital environment for music of all genres, the event kicks off at 2:30 pm and keeps rockin’ till 10 pm.
Actor/director Rick Wiegers will MC the event, with the likes of the Partizani Brass Band, father/daughter duo Andy and Madelyn Kingston, Joe West and the Santa Fe Revue, Swing Soleil, and Lumbre del Sol taking the stage.
“We often take music for granted because we have it in our lives every day. But what would it be like without music?” says SFMA president Busy McCarroll. “This event is about making music so music keeps making.”

Dulce “We were thinking the cupcake craze would die down, but it hasn’t,” says pastry chef Dennis Adkins, who makes sweet treats from scratch every day at Dulce bakery, including the chocolate- and cream cheese–frosted cupcakes pictured below.
But who can blame Santa Feans for prolonging the trend? Adkins, who completed the Professional Baking Program at Los Angeles Trade-Tech and studied at Bellouet Conseil in Paris, uses fresh, natural, and, often, local ingredients such as organic Sangre de Cristo flour, cage-free Flying E Ranch eggs, and Rasband dairy products to create a sweet menu, in every sense of the word.
The individual cheesecake seen here is mixed “with as little air as possible” to achieve a delightfully dense consistency, and the “base is almost like a shortbread cookie,” Adkins says. We dare you to eat just one.—Whitney Spivey

Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen“A lot of people think healthy food won’t be delicious, but we serve food that’s yummy,” says Fiona Wong, who opened Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen in 2012 with Soma Franks. The Buddha Bowl seen here is a mix of organic, nutrient-rich ingredients such as avocado, nori seaweed, kale, watermelon radish, sprouted tofu, and sprouted watermelon seeds served over a bed of brown rice with a ginger-garlic-tamari sauce. “We try to use ingredients that people call superfoods in order to make healthier dishes,” Wong notes. The sparkling hibiscus lemon cooler also pictured comes with a sprig of mint, and the raspberry jam-filled thumbprint cookie is gluten free. “It makes me happy to see people eating good food,” Wong says. “That’s probably from my background—my Chinese mother showed her love through food.”—Cristina OldsSweetwater Harvest Kitchen, 1512 Pacheco, Bldg B, sweetwatersf.com

In the new show Transformations, the 14 artists of Vivo Contemporary embrace the idea that, according to the gallery, “the beginning of a transformation is imagination.” Artists who work with calligraphy, kiln glass, acrylic painting, and more “reach beyond their established media” and, through thoughtful variations on their form and process, create “refitted, reworked, and renewed” pieces of art.

El Moisés While writing a book report in fifth grade about his native Mexico, El Moisés came across a text on New Mexico and fell in love with the folk art he saw on its pages. Two years ago the self-described “folk moderno” artist moved from Phoenix, where he was raised, to Taos, where he now creates and displays his vibrant, narrative art in his studio and gallery.
Called the “Chicano Picasso of the 21st century” by The Huffington Post, El Moisés paints with acrylic on panel and canvas and says his mixed-media works feature “a lot of glitter.” This summer he’ll be featured in Santos!, a group show at Santa Fe’s Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery that runs from July 3 to August 21. —Cristina Oldsartedemoises.com eyeonthemountaingallery.com

One of El Moisés’s themes is contemporary representation of religious and cultural iconography, as seen in Nuestra Señora, a current work in progress.
El Moisés will show La Bota Sagrada (The Sacred Boot) in the group show Santos! at Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery this summer.

Cody Sandersonbending, forging, casting, and stamping his way onto the jewelry scene
by Ashley M. Biggers
P R O F I L Eart
THOUGH RENOWNED NAVAJO silversmith Cody Sanderson employs techniques that are hundreds—and sometimes thousands—of years old, he also uses modern, computer-generated designs for his contemporary, occasionally whimsical creations. His rings, bracelets, and pendants are sold internationally, but during Father’s Day weekend they’ll land locally, in his current hometown of Santa Fe, for a one-man show at Sorrel Sky Gallery.
Prior to becoming an artisan himself, Sanderson sold jewelry for eight years. During that time he gathered tips from experts and began experimenting in his own studio. In 2002, the self-taught artist burst onto the scene at the Santa Fe Indian Market. Since then he’s earned prestigious accolades, including “Best in Show” at the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market for his silver Rubik’s Cube, in addition to completing a fellowship with the Smithsonian Institution. However, Sanderson says the best tribute he can receive is people wearing his jewelry—and returning to purchase new pieces and becoming collectors.
The artist’s pieces frequently feature spikes and star motifs—though nearly anything can become a source of inspiration for him, including his children’s toys (“If it looks like Lego blocks, it’s a Lego block,” he says). Sanderson is known for detailing every surface of his pieces, even the inside, which few people besides the owner will see.
“Cody is one of the most sought-after artists working today, and it’s an event every time he shows his new pieces,” Sorrel Sky owner Shanan Campbell Wells said in a statement. “His work is so cutting edge, and we can’t wait to see what he’s been working on.”

The Art and Soul of Color
works by Suzanne Wallace Mears and Stephanie Paige explore color and its relationship to energy and emotion
P R O F I L Eart
A NEW SHOW AT Pippin Contemporary called The Art and Soul of Color—which is part of a citywide Summer of Color initiative at major museums and galleries—pairs the works of glass artist Suzanne Wallace Mears with those of mixed-media painter Stephanie Paige and focuses on the different ways that color can be used to express emotion and energy.
In Paige’s pieces, which are from her Zen Garden series, blues, greens, and grays evoke a sense of peace and calm, while oranges and reds depict positive and upbeat expressions. Her abstract landscapes, featuring rich color around stark horizon lines, reflect Paige’s connection to Mother Earth.
“Nature is Stephanie’s main inspiration, and this spring her [Zen Garden] paintings are forging an even closer relationship to the natural world,” says Kelly Skeen, director of arts marketing for Pippin Contempo-rary. “These paintings focus on the peaceful, meditative balance of nature and the harmony of the universe.”
A dozen vertical glass pieces from Mears’s Feather on the Loose collection are totem-like forms mounted in a steel base. They’re meant to communicate happiness, whimsy, and the artist’s optimistic view of life.
“I’m a colorist,” Mears says. “It’s what makes the magic happen and triggers and unleashes my imagina-tion. Color is my way of communicating emotion, a state of mind past, present, and future. I favor a bright primary color palette but do have two favorites: blue and orange.”
Mears stocks her glass studio with every possible color choice in basic glass, so she has the freedom to use whatever matches her inspiration in the moment. “Color is so much fun for me and so stimulating that if I don’t try to limit myself to a given palette, I try to use everything,” she says.

Valerie Rangel
When she was about five years old, Valerie Rangel began using a kitchen knife to help her family slice off cactus spines and glochids so that they could eat nopales. In high school, those knife skills helped her excel in art class, where she learned about silhouette papercutting. Years later, after she lost a job in the environmental field, she returned to paper crafting in order to make a living for herself and her son. “It turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she says. “I started making greeting cards, and then I decided to surprise someone special by framing my work in glass float frames. Fueled by love and support, I slowly gained the courage to try bigger and better works of art.”—Whitney Spivey

Occasionally, Rangel works with colored paper,
creates 3-D papercut art forms, or hand sews beads to a paper image.

“The skill of cutting paper comes from practice, learning to feel the sharpness of the blade, and responding accordingly to the thickness of the paper with the right
amount of pressure,” Rangel says. “Each cut is delicate and deliberate; there’s no
painting over mistakes or erasing.”
Referred to as “a paper sculptor” by her friends, Rangel, whose work can be seen downtown at True West, carves negative spaces from black paper with an X-Acto blade. The result is a positive image in a single contiguous cut paper work. “Once I discovered the power of using art as a tool, a voice, to relay a message, I started to create images with environmental and social justice themes,” Rangel says.

TUESDAY NIGHTS CAN BE pretty quiet in Santa Fe, but not on June 23. That’s when 117 antique automobiles rumble into the Plaza at 1-minute intervals, starting at 4:45 pm. The parade is part of the annual Great Race, a car rally that, this year, starts on June 20 in Kirkwood, Missouri, and ends on June 28 at the Santa Monica Pier in California. The route? Historic Route 66, of course—all 2,400 miles of it.
“Traveling west has always been and always will be an iconic American experience,” says John Feins of Tourism Santa Fe. “The rare opportunity to experience the world’s premier old car rally in the west’s fabled travel hub of the downtown Santa Fe Plaza is one that parents, kids, and grandparents will want to share, photograph, and remember together.”
Santa Fe is one of eight overnight stops for the vehicles, and thousands of people are expected to show up to greet the drivers. “When The Great Race pulls into a city it becomes an instant festival,” says race director Jeff Stumb, noting that cars built in or before 1972 will be present. A 1915 Hudson racer, a 1916 Hudson Hillclimber, and a 1917 Peerless are expected to be the oldest automobiles participating.
The Great Race, which began 32 years ago and hasn’t stopped in Santa Fe since 1989, isn’t a speed race but rather a time/speed/distance rally. Each driver/navigator team is given daily instructions that detail every move down to the second. The duos are scored at secret checkpoints and are penalized one second for each second they’re early or late. As in golf, the lowest score wins—and receives $50,000.

“Santa Fe is legendary for its roots in horse travel and The Old Santa Fe Trail starting in 1821 and The Railyard Depot, which ushered in rail travel after 1880,” says John Feins of Tourism Santa Fe. “Route 66—The Mother Road—was first laid out in 1926, and Santa Fe was everyone’s choice for a major stop.”

paying it forward through music
Now 46 years old, the music store The Candyman Strings & Things was instrumental in Rand Cook’s young life. After buying a mouth harp there as a child, Rand was quickly hooked on music and on the store itself—so much so that he wound up working there. In 2009, he and his wife Cindy bought the place, and over the years the couple and their devoted staff have been paying their love of music forward to Santa Feans of all ages. “We have to make a living, but we try to be a resource to the community,” Cindy says.
Currently entering its sixth season, The Candyman’s Summer Rock Camp has taught hundreds of attendees the ins and outs of the music industry. During a two-week-long program offered in June and July, students name and create logos for their bands, take workshops in performance, record songs in a professional setting, participate in radio interviews, and give concerts. In May, the Cooks also offer an annual Wanna Play? Experi-ence, which allows nonmusicians of all ages to explore the store and take introductory
music lessons. Wanna Play? is also tied to an appreciation dinner for community mem-bers who advocate for music education—from teachers to representatives of The Lensic Performing Arts Center.
The Cooks are at the top of their game and their industry. In 2014, the National As-sociation of Music Merchants (NAMM) named The
Candyman Dealer of the Year—the equivalent in the music-store industry of winning a Grammy. “Now we have to fill our own big shoes,” says Rand, who was shocked by the win. They Cooks also took home their second NAMM Music Makes a Difference Award, for which they pass the credit to the young music ambassadors whose transformational stories they’ve shared (and, although they wouldn’t say it, played a role in).—Ashley M.

Together with their devoted staff, Rand and Cindy Cook

Local country rockers Lucy Barna, Lori Ottino, and Paige Barton sometimes refer to themselves as “Hot Honey and the Beard” to include the band’s lone guy, Willow Doug. “He adds the perfect touch of rooted sound with his electric bass,” the ladies told LiveTaos.com. “And of course, even though we don’t like to admit it often, it is nice to have a man’s opinion . . . sometimes.”
Doug’s bass and the women’s melodica, guitar, and banjo create a sound that’s won the group several “Best of Santa Fe” awards, including Best New Band, Best Alt Country/Country Band, and Best Rock Band.
If you missed the quartet at the Railyard last month, catch them on June 19, when they’ll return to the neighborhood to perform at Second Street Brewery from 7 to 10 pm.—Whitney Spivey hothoneymusic.com
