SUMMARY:July Art Exhibit:  "Sacred Places: Honoring Chacoan Culture"
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception:  August 2\, 5:00 -6:30 pm \nChaco Culture National Historical Park is considered to be the sacred ancestral homelands of the Hopi and Pueblo people. \nLas Placitas Association sponsored an artists’ adventure in Chaco Canyon in late 2023.  Sacred Places will feature works inspired by that trip\, and is open to any artists similarly inspired. \nThe only limitation is that the work must be culturally sensitive and reflect the mysteries and stories of the Ancestral Puebloans that inhabited the canyons and it’s outliers. \nThe site became part of the National Park System in 1907\, and was named an UNESCO World Heritage Site 80 years later. \nOutliers: \n\nGuadalupe Ruins\nKin Klizhin\nKin Bineola\nChimney Rock National Historic Site\nCasamero Pueblo\nThe Dittert Site at El Malpais National Conservaton Area\nTwin Angels Pueblo\n\n“Summoning the Rain Gods” by Joan Fenicle

SUMMARY:Anne Hillerman in Conversation with Ron Franscell
DESCRIPTION:Placitas Community Library is delighted to host a conversation between two of our favorite authors\, Anne Hillerman and our own Ron Franscell\, on Sunday\, June 23 at 2pm.  Over the last 14 years Anne has become a dear friend of this Library and she honors us with a visit with each new book. Lost Birds is the ninth book in her Leaphorn\, Chee & Manuelito series. Each novel explores complex emotional issues which test the detectives in different ways. This time\, Anne has taken on the extremely complicated issues involving the adoption of Indigenous children by non-native parents.  Once again\, in Lost Birds\, she delivers a thought-provoking\, gripping mystery that brings to life the vivid terrain of the American Southwest\, its people\, and the lore and traditions that make it distinct. To the delight of many Hillerman readers (father and daughter)\, Joe Leaphorn features prominently in this story. \nAnne will be joined by her friend Ron Franscell\, a New York Times bestselling author of true crime and fiction mysteries\, including Deaf Row and The Darkest Night.  Ron and his wife moved to Placitas a few years ago and have become fast friends with Placitas Community Library.  Anne and Ron will converse about their approaches to writing and much more. \nSigned copies of Lost Birds will be available at Placitas Community Library beginning in late April. Thanks to Anne’s generosity\, all sales benefit your Library. Anne and Ron each draw a big crowd so please come early for a good seat. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday\,  June 23 at 2pm.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit:  "Gifts of our Ancestors - Resilience of the Diaspora" - A Celebration of Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:As displaced persons of the African Diaspora\, upon birth we are inundated with tainted notions of other’s perceptions of who we are\, can be\, will be\, and won’t be.  Because we are born of Spirit-power\, from a soul level we continuously\, actively\, no matter how arduous the journey\, identify and embrace our true individual and collective selves.  Art\, all arts\, are one of the primary ways we do this. “Gifts of Our Ancestors: Resilience in the Diaspora” represents the breadth of our diversity and connectedness no matter how many generations from home we are.  We and others can see ourselves through interpretations\, insights\, and the ancestral legacies we carry. \nThis is an opportunity to share the joy\, wisdom\, brilliance\, and wholeness of us\, by us. In honor of the African Diaspora\, its history\, legacy\, people\, and resources\, the New Mexico African American Resilience Committee invited artists to share the gifts of their ancestors. \nSpecifically\, artists were urged to be introspective in honoring direct and collective ancestral lineages\, our diverse communities and experiences\, and themselves through their art. They were asked to submit work that reflects the role ancestors playing their creativity\, defiance\, power\, resilience\, and success. Art is our gift from our ancestors\, from wherever we come. \nThe theme is inspired by author and philosopher\, James Baldwin\, who said “History\, as nearly no one seems to know\, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely\, or even principally\, to the past. On the contrary\, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us\, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways\, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely otherwise\, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference\, our identities\, and our aspirations.” \nFurther\, Dr. Doris Fields urges\, “When we know our past\, we may understand our arrival at present; and when we understand our arrival at present\, we may readily create our future.” \nThe community will be introduced (or reintroduced) to African queens and philosophers\, intercultural connectivity\, and human interdependence that has proven critical to the very evolution of all of us Homosapien sapiens (this is not an error). \nThis curated exhibition is on display from February 3- March 14\, 2024. \nThe reception\, which will feature Maurice Burns of Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe and other renowned artists\, including\, Zero Bey\, Willa Siao-Pao\, Karen Jones Meadows\, and Raul Davis\, will be held on Friday\, February 16\, 2024\, from 5-7 PM. \nSoul food refreshments will be served. \nPlease join us in this celebration of art from the African the Diaspora. \nArtist Image: Willa Siao-Pao – “Sister Friends”

SUMMARY:Legacy Artist Exhibit: Karl and Mary Hofmann
DESCRIPTION:A retrospective featuring works by longtime Placitas residents Mary and Karl Hofmann will begin the Placitas Community Library’s 2024 exhibition series in the Gracie Lee Community Room. The couple is being celebrated for their collaborative efforts throughout the nearly fifty years they’ve lived and worked together in New Mexico producing ceramics and sculpture\, paintings\, pastels\, and linocuts that speak both to their sense of place and personal history. \n Karl Hofmann\, who was born and grew up in Germany before immigrating to the United States in the mid-fifties\, credits the aesthetic influence of 20th century Japanese potter Hamada when discussing his ceramic work\, and relies on memories\, personal experience\, folktales\, legends\, and the local landscape to inspire his two-dimensional work. “I do not go out and look at things and try to paint\,” says Karl. “I think a camera can do a very good job with that.” \n Mary Hofman was initially drawn to the arts through painting\, in particular Expressionism and the emotion it evoked. She and Karl met on a blind date 65 years ago when they were both studying art at Michigan State University. After Mary retired from her job at the UNM library\, she functioned as business manager and studio assistant for Karl when he was teaching at Albuquerque’s Sandia Prep\, and over time the line blurred between her support of Karl’s production and creation of her own hand-built\, functional clay works. Now\, she is the potter and Karl\, who can no longer throw pots\, has been producing delightful linocuts and paintings. Her works are quiet and modest in scale while Karl’s clay pots and sculptures are heftier and his linocuts brilliantly colored.  \nThis exhibition continues through February 1 and is the third in a series of annual “legacy exhibitions” presented by the Library Art Committee to recognize resident Placitans who have contributed significantly to the community’s vibrant arts scene over many years.
