The Taos Center for the Arts Encore Gallery is pleased to present “ Young Artists of Taos” a juried and invitational art and photography exhibit.

Included in the show are Domonick Ortiz, Noah Lujan, Aiden Suazo and Lara StrangeOwl from the Taos Pueblo Day School Photo Club. These talented and dedicated young people have begun to develop a wonderful eye and appreciation for composition and meaning that shows in their work.

Jivan Lee’s exquisite paintings are crafted with pallet knives and brushes and occasionally he uses gloves, bare hands, and even dirt. His work is heavy with paint and liberal in its response to reality. Sculptor and jeweler Julie Lake has two pieces of her delicate and organic three dimensional stainless steel forms. Jessica Gaddis’s works are sculptural and whimsical with mediums of wax and found objects. Claire Cote is an instructor at Rivers and Birds, both an artist and ecologist her line drawing transfers on cloth capture the dual aspects of her interests and talents. There are two soft and dreamy photographs by Jessica Rone. Klara Wetmore’s copperplate etchings are lyrical, theatrical figures - one titled “Waking of a Fool”. Also in the show are life drawings by Aaron Garlick and Shannyn Thompson, and strong photographic portraits by Adeliza Bacus-Pace.

Please join us for a reception for the artists on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 5 PM to 7 PM
Encore Gallery, Taos Community Auditorium, 145 Paseo Del Pueblo Norte, Taos 87529

Star soprano Anna Netrebko takes on the legendary title role in Donizetti’s bel canto masterpiece, which has been a musical and dramatic showpiece for many of history’s greatest singers. The opera, based on the final tragic days of Anne Boleyn, makes its Met premiere in a new production by David McVicar, whose staging of Il Trovatore was a best-selling Live in HD presentation last season. Powerhouse Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova sings the role of Giovanna Seymour, Bolena’s lady-in-waiting and romantic rival; Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov is the cruel King Enrico (Henry) VIII; and Stephen Costello and Tamara Mumford are the queen’s allies, Lord Percy and Smeaton. Italian conductor Marco Armiliato leads the MET Orchestra in what is widely considered one of Donizetti’s finest scores.

Ticket prices are $12 for TCA members, $15 for the general public and $10 for students under 18. Call 575-758-2052 to purchase tickets.
