Announcing
Fine and Performing Arts Entertainment
in the Albuquerque Area and
Beyond





Hi Friends,
I want to talk about the arts scene in our community coming together and continuing to cooperate. I am not speaking of serving on committees and paying lip service to working together. I am talking about real cooperation, to do bigger events that encompass the expertise of several different subsets of our great community of artists. We all remember cooperating as early as elementary school, working together toward a common goal.
Embrace and cultivate symbiotic relationships. Understand that we can accomplish more as a unified arts team than we can ever hope to accomplish as a sum or individuals or small groups. We all potentially have the same interested patrons who support our efforts. I will be talking more about this coming together in the following weeks and months. And thanks to Farmer Monte for the inspiration.
The Q CLAPS survey will be active through the month of May. You can give us your personal information or take the survey anonymously. To take the survey click here. Here's hoping to see you soon, live and in person,
Here's hoping to see you, live and in person,
Plus, tell a friend about Q CLAPS!
