In the arts, bricolage is the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available. Join local artist Debra Gardner for her solo exhibit, Bricolage, in the Portal Gallery at the Fuller Lodge Art Center between March 8 and April 20, 2019. Debra’s art features a collection of collage, assemblage, boxes, works on paper, and book arts. “I am the person who walks with her head down, looking for bits of glass or rusty pieces and such, to use in my constructions”. Her use of vintage photographs and ephemera of the past evoke nostalgia. Whether or not you connect directly with the objects, you will definitely connect with the artwork.

The State of New Mexico is seeking artists for a temporary and environmentally sound art installation in Los Alamos.
Los Alamos County has successfully used the brand “Where Discoveries are Made,” to honor the history of innovation in the area, and current cutting edge work of their world-class research facilities. The theme for T.I.M.E 2019 Los Alamos County is: Aha!
Artists are asked to engage with this idea that conveys a sense of wonder, discovery, or a “eureka moment.” Artists are asked to respond to the theme through a sense of place within the natural environment, arts, history, and culture of the area.
The deadline for submissions is March 22.
