“Hoopla” means “excitement surrounding an event or situation, especially when considered to be unnecessary fuss”, and that’s pretty much what we’re doing. We’ll have poetry, fiction, and non-fiction readings, guest artists, music, and treats!
Guest artists for one-weekend only, include Susan Klebanoff, an internationally renowned tapestry artist whose work hangs in the Smithsonian; Laura Robbins, whose vibrant pieces can be found everywhere in Albuquerque, most notably at the Botanic Gardens Dragonfly Sanctuary; Pamela Gemin, who makes “vintage inspired jewelry” in Flagstaff; and Victoria Mlady, an Albuquerque photographer and painter whose “high quality archival pigment ink digital prints” translate to bold, bright, and beautiful images.
