As part of its ongoing support of the arts, the Rio Costilla Valley Studio Tour will sponsor an Emerging Artists Show to coincide with the 2009 tour scheduled for the week-end of September 12 and 13, 2009. |
|
Artwork submitted this spring and summer from school age children will be exhibited at various studios throughout the week-end. Show visitors and a selected jury will be invited to vote for entries of their choice. Prizes will be awarded to top entries. An exhibition of winning entries will be held at the Ventero Open Press in San Luis following the Studio Tour. Our Emerging Artists will be offered a presence on our studiotour website for a year. |
|
We encourage aspiring artists from the area to submit prints, drawings, sculptures, weavings and pottery. Arts education funding suffers even in good times and we know many students do not have access to materials or classes. Thus students requiring support for completion of their entries can have access to materials and volunteer artists from tour participants. A glass artist, a sculptor and a life-drawing professional have already volunteered to mentor area children who request it. |
|
Entry forms and criteria for the Emerging Artists Show will be available at the Ventero Open Press in San Luis, the Shamrock Station in Costilla and select locations in Questa, N.M. The studio tour website will also have application forms after May 1. Forms will be provided to schools in San Luis, Costilla and Questa. Area children who are presently home schooled are encouraged to participate. If you are an individual or a business who would like to support this effort with either time or a contribution, if you are a student who has questions about the show and would like to have an entry form mailed to your home, please contact Jane Kircher at 719-672-3063 or Mary Ann Walz at 575-586-2054. |
