LewAllen Galleries at the Railyard, 1613 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe, 988-3250
Opening reception, Friday, October 30, 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
While the artist cites his upbringing in the sweltering Gulf Coast of Texas and its scenic opposite, the art of the Hudson River School, it is not a stretch to note as well the muscular authority of painters Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter in the work of Michael Roque Collins.

53rd Venice Biennale
by Susanna Carlisle • THE magazine
Oct 1, 2009
Perhaps because the bubble has burst and the future looks grim, the work on view in the 53rd Venice Biennale seems to me to have more gravity than “what’s fashionable tonight” or “local cultural production auditioning to be history.” Despite dramatic budgets cuts, Daniel Birnbaum, at forty-six the youngest director ever, has assembled a thoughtful and provocative show. Birnbaum’s inspiration for Fare Mondi/Making Worlds comes from Nelson Goodman’s book Ways of World Making.
Art in Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe is a small town, but large in its embrace of the arts, and its many cultural attractions. Perhaps best known as a center for visual art, Santa Fe offers a huge variety of performing arts as well. Music, dance and theater all play a vital role in the life of Santa Fe. In addition, many of the country’s most creative writers call Santa Fe their primary home.
The Santa Fe Opera is a unique venue that attracts both an international audience and international performers. This year’s season, which runs from July 3rd through August 29th includes performances of La Traviata, Don Giovanni, The Elixir of Love, Alceste, and The Letter. Located just north of the city, the Santa Fe Opera is an open air celebration, and tickets usually sell out well in advance of performances. The “tailgate” parties that are held in the parking areas of the Opera complex prior to performances are not to be missed.
The Lensic Performing Arts Center in downtown Santa Fe produces theatrical, dance and musical events, as well as performances of the spoken word. When the Santa Fe Opera is not in season, the Lensic provides large screen digital projection and sound from the Metropolitan Opera. This incredible facility was built in 1931 and attracted performers such as Rita Hayworth, Roy Rogers, Judy Garland and Yehudi Menuhin. A completely remodeled and updated Lensic opened in April 2001 with state of the art audio and video systems, while still preserving the historic nature of one of Santa Fe’s most important facilities.
The annual Santa Fe Film Festival is held in December and attracts new works from directors and producers all over the world. Smaller venues for the performing arts abound in Santa Fe, ranging from large halls to coffee shops and bistros. In the performing arts, there’s always something new happening in Santa Fe.
