For its first ART123 Gallery show of 2018, gallupARTS is trying something new. This month, local artist Padma Komaravolu will cover ART123 in Rangoli. Rangoli, or Muggu or Kolam, is a traditional Indian folk art in which colorful patterns are freehanded from rice flour. Rangoli is kind of like sand painting, except with different designs and meaning, of course!
“Rangoli: Traditional Folk Art of India - The Art of Colors and Patterns” will open on Jan. 13 from 6:30 – 8 pm. As part of the opening, Padma will do a live demonstration of the technique. The show will be on view through Feb. 6.

I hope the New Year is starting well for you. For the past 4 years our program has worked with across 35 chapters on the Navajo Nation doing land restoration, water conservation and food security work. We have direct experience working with chapters as well as understanding of the land policies that sometimes hinder trail development.Page 295 of 467
