OIL BOOM
This year we are making a studied conscious effort not to be studied or conscious. Santa Fe is now one of the most interesting art centers in the world and you, O Dude of the East, are privileged to behold the most sophisticated group in the country gamboling freely. ... And Santa Fe, making you welcome, will enjoy itself hugely watching the Dude as he gazes. Be sure as you stroll along looking for the quaint and picturesque that you are supplying your share of those very qualities to Santa Fe, the City Incongruous. ... Be yourself, even if it includes synthetic cowboy clothes, motor goggles and a camera. — 1928 Santa Fe Fiesta Program THE SANTA FE ART PROJECT 2016 DAVID RICHARD GALLERY SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO The inaugural edition of The Santa Fe Art Project showcases the most cutting-edge artwork of the Southwest's cultural capitol.
