VIDA Art Exhibition’s show “A Step Beyond” has gone a step beyond! Due to popular demand, the art exhibit is being held over for an additional three months and will now continue through Jan. 5, 2007. The 70-piece exhibition features original fine art by 25 UNM-affiliated artists. The public is welcome and works are available for purchase. A portion of all sales will go to Albuquerque Rescue Mission. The exhibit is located at the UNM Development/Foundation Office at 700 Lomas Boulevard, N.E., Building #2.
Artwork: "Tightrope in the City" by Sydney Johnson, UNM alumnus and current graduate student.
VIDA Art Exhibitions is a community-based project whose mission is to place high-quality fine art in non-traditional and unexpected venues for the mutual benefit of viewers, hosting organizations, and artists. VIDA creates exposure and opportunities for UNM-affiliated artists to reach out and connect with the community in a gesture of sharing their treasure of artwork.
"With art, we hope to promote stress reducing, life-enriching, and other beneficial effects ranging from temporary amusement and entertainment to lasting hope and inspiration for the viewers," said Janie Gonzales, curator of the VIDA Art Exhibitions.
