Panel Project Donations Arriving Daily
Fabric, beads, paint and paper are just some of the mediums artists have employed for their donated artworks for The Panel Project!
The sale happens the first week of October during the Eastern New Mexico State Fair (in the Arts & Crafts pavilion) - so pick up a panel at AMoCA if you haven't done so, and get artin' and craftin' for a good cause! The sale benefits the Assurance Home, Roswell's place for at-risk 12-18 year olds.

Fun Find Revealed
In July we asked you to speculate what might be in this vintage, unopened box from our RAiR archives.
If you guessed it's an Art in America magazine (from the return address), you are correct! It is Volume 52, No. 6, from December of 1964. Fifty-nine years is a long time to have stayed in its box!
Pass the article on "Ceramics by Twelve Artists" and the "Useful Objects by Artists", and you will find Bainbridge Bunting's article "Sculpture to Live In" on pages 62-64. Bingo! Readers are first treated to a large black and white photo of Herb Goldman's Henge which overlaps onto the next page! More pictures are featured on page 64. Mr. Bunting's article is quite descriptive and a lively piece of writing. At the time he was the professor of the history of art and architecture at the University of New Mexico. Nowhere to be found is Donald B. Anderson's name. "The owner of the sculpture" is listed as "an engineer, who wishes to remain anonymous." Yes, that's our DBA, even staying out of the limelight back then.
