"ARTS Lab" Opening Set

On Friday, Oct. 22, UNM President Louis Caldera will announce the formal opening of UNM’s Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory project or “ARTS Lab.”

The ARTS Lab is UNM’s response to Gov. Richardson and the New Mexico legislature’s NM Media Industries Strategic Plan to make the most of New Mexico’s wealth of talent in the arts and sciences and our many businesses and organizations associated with digital and advanced media.

The event will be held at UNM's LodeStar Astronomy Center from 4 to 6 p.m. The LodeStar Astronomy Center is located in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History at 1801 Mountain Road, N.W.

The event is expected to include comments from Gov. Richardson, an introduction from President Caldera and an overview of the process to date and future plans of the organization from ARTS Lab Director Ed Angel and other UNM Faculty who are participating in shaping the organization.

Following remarks, guests are invited for food and refreshments at 5 p.m. with displays of work by many of the UNM programs involved.
