Terri Rolland Dark Red-Dark Red, 2011-2016, Acrylic and clay paint on panel, 6 x 20 in Let us sing the praises of art galleries who dare set up shop in risky neighborhoods—neighborhoods that are neither Downtown, on Canyon Road, nor in the Railyard Arts District.

On Aug. 5, 2015, 3 million gallons of wastewater contami­nated with arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, and lead, among other toxic elements from a spill at the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, poisoned a tribu­tary of the Animas River. The event was an ecological disaster. Within five days, the waste had reached the San Juan River on the Navajo Nation, contaminating ranch and farm lands, affecting cattle and crops. Two days after that, it had reached Lake Powell. Santa Fe­

The opening of the visual arts extravaganza that is the art collective Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return may, in one swell swoop, put Santa Fe firmly back on the map as a serious art destination. By now the plot should be familiar to anyone paying attention to what’s going on here in Santa Fe: A very large and mixed group of seriously talented artists embark upon an odyssey to create a permanent installation of scale ambition that has never been seen before. They enlist ano

Catherine Howe, Carborundum and Silver (Mantis), 2016, Acrylic, encaustic, metal leaf, carborundum grit on canvas, 48" x 36" In my long travels I learned early that most artists reject labels, preferring to be known by their work, rather than where they come from, the color of their skin or their gender. Still, whether they inform the work or not, people still feel these hyphenated additions useful, if not important. Not to long ago at an opening for a show I curated in Santa
