The Harwood Museum of Art and the University of New Mexico present New Mexorado: an upcoming exhibition showcasing artists working and living in the Albuquerque-Denver corridor. Entries are now open and will be accepted until November 1, 2010. For more information or to submit artwork, go to harwoodmuseum.org.

Submission Deadline: November 1, 2010 When artists think about place, whether it be rural or urban, they often think of it as a point of departure. One path may lead deeper into the site itself and its character, a sense artists want to absorb and express. Another path may lead away, beginning its course from connections that originated there. Perhaps a third is more fantastical, one suggested by the unexpected, yet significant, connections that the imagination creates. All of these ways are journeys and explorations that do not feel complete until they are shared. Results Announced: November 18, 2010 On Exhibit: January 7 - February 14, 2011 at the Mpls Photo Center Opening Reception: January 7, 2011 Cost for Entry: $35 for the first 5 images submitted; $10 for each additional image Exhibition & Awards If selected your work will hang in the Mpls Photo Center galleries along with photographers from throughout the world.

Bryn Terfel sings the leading role of Wotan for the first time with the company, heading an extraordinary cast that includes Wendy Bryn Harmer, Stephanie Blythe, Patricia Bardon, Richard Croft, Gerhard Siegel, Eric Owens, Franz-Josef Selig and Hans-Peter König.
