February Happenstance is up

Did you know that El Zocalo Gallery in Las Vegas has a featured artist every month? Check out the latest issue of Happenstance to find out who is being featured this month. Also read about the Friends of the Museum annual fundraiser for the endowment fund. There's more, much more! Don't miss anything.

I frequently hear that nothing ever happens in Las Vegas, our Las Vegas. Get real! Something is happening in Las Vegas, NM ALL the time. The Optic has a list of on-going and daily events, and while they may not all apply to your interests, the variety of events and activities is mind-boggling. The UWC alone has enough going on to keep your calendar full nearly every weekend. The Chamber website is also chock full of events throughout the year. Since Happenstance is a monthly we shy away from doing calendar listings but I welcome the opportunity to list events in my blog. It keeps me on my toes and gives me ideas to feed to writers who want to submit work.

With that in mind here's an upcoming event you won't want to miss. 

Favorite Places, a show of paintings by Nancy Philo is being exhibited through April
in the El Fidel Restaurant on Douglas Avenue. Her work has been widely exhibited in New Mexico, the Midwest, and all over New England, and is included in many corporate and private collections in the United States, and in Europe and Asia.The artist's drawing of Martin Luther King, Jr. is in the Smithsonian Museum in the National Portrait Gallery collection. Nancy owns Hyperbole Gallery and Studio at her home on Fifth Street in Las Vegas. An artist's reception is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 11, from 5-7 p.m. at the El Fidel.

Hope to see you there!
