From the PresidentSave the date for our 2011 Annual Conference in Farmington: November 2-5. We are very excited about returning to the beautiful San Juan River Valley with its many cultural treasures. Nancy Sweet Espinosa, Curator and Education Coordinator for Salmon Ruins Museum and Research Library, is putting together a wonderful meeting with diversity at its core. I urge our membership to propose sessions that look at the future of museums as vital places for exploration, dialogue, collaboration, and community building. To propose a session, contact Nancy at her email address: [email protected] or call her at 505-632-2013. Deadline to submit sessions is May 25.
On the advocacy front, the American Association of Museum’s Museums Advocacy Day, held February 28-March 1, drew 310 of our colleagues from forty-six states to make approxi-mately 250 visits on Capitol Hill. Some of the key topics for discus-sion included President Obama’s proposed fiscal year 2012 budget reduction of 8.2% for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), significant decreases for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, reauthori-zation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind) mandating greater collaboration between the Department of Education and IMLS to foster museum-school partnerships, proposals limiting the deductibility of chari-table gifts, and historic preservation with specific emphasis on the elimination of funding for Save America’s Treasures ($25 million) and Preserve America ($4.6 million).
Although Congress avoided a government shutdown recently, arts education funding got caught up in the Continuing Resolution poultice passed by the House and Senate that makes a $4 billion cut in domestic spending. Among the programs targeted for total elimination is the Department of Education’s $40 million Arts in Education program that funds a large number of arts education initiatives across the country including Very Special Arts.
Please advocate for museums, the arts, culture, and historic preserva-tion. Contact your Congressmen. Get your boards involved in advocating for IMLS, NEA, NEH and the other principle concerns outlined above.
You can also learn more about what is happening by visiting the websites of AAM, IMLS, the American Association for State and Local History, the Mountain-Plains Museum Association,
Americans for the Arts, and the Association of Art Museum Directors.

President

The 2011 NMAM Annual Conference will be held November 2-5 in Farmington. The Conference theme is Cultural Crossroads. The keynote speaker is Dr. William H. Doelle, President and CEO of the Center for Desert Archaeology in Tucson. Dr. Doell has more than thirty years of experience as a professional archaeologist, and has worked extensively in Mexico, Guatemala, and the North American Southwest. In accord with this year’s theme, Dr. Doelle will inform through his experience with non-profit revitalization, historic preservation, fundraising, and educational outreach.
The Best Western Inn and Suites in Farmington will provide a comfortable and attractive venue along the San Juan River. The hotel is pet-friendly, and has a pool, hot-tub, and fitness center. Highlights will include an opening reception at the Farmington Museum, and participation from a diverse range of local groups, including Native American and Celtic dancers and musicians. Aztec National Monument Ruins, Shiprock, Salmon Ruins, and Chaco Canyon beckon you to bring friends and family and tour the Four Corners.

Annual Conference
Save America’s Treasures Grants Awarded for 2010 Cycle
Over 330 applications requesting more than $90 million were submitted for the $14.3 million in available Save America’s Treasures (SAT) funding. Two organizations in New Mexico received funding. Congratulations!
Acoma Pueblo was awarded $216,491. Built on top of a giant, craggy mesa, Acoma is one of the oldest continuously occupied settlements in the United States. Founded as early as A.D. 1100, its location made it virtually impregnable in early times. Save America’s Treasures funds will renovate one block of homes that have suffered major water and erosion damage. These structures adjoin the plaza of Acoma and are connected to historic and reli-giously significant kivas.
The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture in Santa Fe was awarded $550,000. The museum’s collections tell an intricately woven history of the many peoples and cultures of the Southwest. Millions of objects, artifacts, and samples are an irreplaceable legacy for Native and Anglo cultures. Grant assistance will support the purchase of storage furnish-ings for a new archaeological repository featuring climate control and fire-suppression technology.

Best of the West True West magazine has honored the Department of Marketing and Outreach of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs for “Best Old West Marketing Campaign.” The award recognizes a campaign for several of the New Mexico State Monuments: Lincoln State Monument, El Camino Real, Bosque Redondo Memorial, Fort Selden, and Fort Stanton. The winning campaign pairs archival photographs with witty and surprising copy.
As True West reports, Shelley Thompson, Director of Marketing and Outreach, “challenged her team to connect Billy the Kid to Lincoln without relying on the one photograph of him that everyone has seen.” The staff found a photo-graph of a pool scene at the Lincoln County Courthouse. “Beyond the walls of the Lincoln County Courthouse, a kid named Billy chalked up another one,” wrote Kate Nelson, of the New Mexico History Museum, and contributor to Links). “For their creativity and passion,” writes True West, “we honor: Shelley Thompson (concept), Kate Nelson (copywriting) and Autumn DeHosse (graphic design).” (Editor’s Note: Award-winner Autumn DeHosse is the designer of this edition of Links.)
Governor Susana Martinez has appointed–and the New Mexico Senate has confirmed–Veronica N. Gonzales of Albuquerque as Secretary of the State Department of Cultural Affairs. Gonzales, 48, is now in charge of the depart-ment that runs the state’s family of eight museums, six State Monuments, the Office of Archaeological Studies, New Mexico State Library, as well as the Historic Preservation and New Mexico Arts division. “New Mexico’s museums, libraries, arts and preservation programs are important educational and economic generators for our people and communities,” said Governor Martinez. “Secretary Gonzales has the background, knowledge and vision to make certain that these valuable cultural resources best serve the quality of life and economic well-being of our state.”
Gonzales has an extensive background in legislative affairs, non-profit management, education, and Native American arts and culture. “I am honored and enthusiastic about working with the Department of Cultural Affairs, an agency that is recognized as one of the most diverse and comprehensive cultural institutions in the nation,” said Gonzales. “I feel strongly that New Mexico represents an invaluable treasure globally. More than ever before, we are at a time in our history when it is important to share the richness of our diver-sity in culture, race, ethnicity, languages and artistic expression that can only be found here in New Mexico.”
The Department of Cultural Affairs, which was created in state govern-ment in 1978, has roots that go back to 1909 when the New Mexico Territorial Legislature founded the Museum of New Mexico in the Palace of the Governors on Santa Fe’s Plaza. DCA currently employs about 500 people statewide and has a budget of approximately $40 million.

now know, abandoning traditional print media (newspapers and magazines).
Fast forward two years to Annenberg Foundation Vice President and Director Charles Annenberg Weingarten—a man passionate about the internet’s power to effect positive change in our lives. He founded the website explore.org, which he describes as “a philanthropic community whose mission is to champion the selfless acts of others, to create a portal into the soul of humanity and to inspire lifelong learning.”
Weingarten approached the Museum of New Mexico with a challenge: create an online exhibi-tion incorporating social media. The New Mexico Museum of Art’s exhibition Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment, which opened on April 8, 2011, was ideal for this experiment, with its environmental concerns that resonate worldwide, with the internet-friendliness of
Four years ago the state museums in Santa Fe (New Mexico Museum of Art, New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governor’s, Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, and the Museum of International Folk Art) entered the world of social media, each with a Facebook page linked to Twitter accounts, and a pres-ence on Flickr and YouTube. The number of the museums’ Facebook fans ranges from around 7,500 for the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture to around 3,000+ for the other museums. These fans are engaged, with the pages drawing around 12,000 daily views. The museums entered the brave new world of social media to connect with what we have all seen to be an exponentially growing global audi-ence (Facebook has more than 680,000 million followers) who are increasingly turning to the internet for news and information and, as we

photography, and with a bevy of living artists and environ-mentalists able to participate and contribute to a website that went online in October 2010 and will remain active through the run of the museum exhibition in October 2011.
Earth Now (http://online.nmartmuseum.org/earthnow) is not the first online exhibition mounted by the Museum of New Mexico, but the Earth Now online exhibition charted new territory by launching months in advance of the exhibi-tion’s museum opening and being designed to be user interac-tive. In contrast, previous online exhibitions, created years before social media’s development, are static pages. Earth Now online visitors have multiple opportunities to network with one another and with the exhibition. Over its projected life of nearly a year, the exhibition will expand in numerous direc-tions dictated by the public’s interest and interaction with the site, and with new content added by the Earth Now curator, Katherine Ware, Curator of Photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art.
One question we look forward to answering is whether commencing the exhibition online, opening it to a global audience in a way traditional print media just cannot do, will draw additional visitors to the adobe and wood galleries when the show opens in April. Interestingly, a study (http://interconnectionsreport.org) recently released by the IMLS indicates online exhibitions do increase gallery visitation. The Earth Now online exhibition will be our opportunity to test our visitation figures with the study’s findings. For those unable to make the trip to Santa Fe, there’s also a green element to opening the show to viewers who are only burning a few kilowatts in front of their computer to visit.
The Earth Now online exhibition presents the work of twelve landscape photographers. Works by twentieth-century masters Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter introduce the exhi-bition. Adams and Porter allowed their photographs
to be used to advance the cause of a nascent envi-ronmental movement. These two artists’ more picturesque representation of the landscape, perhaps rooted in mid-19th century romanticized perception of American landscape as wilderness, are in sharp contrast to the more contemporary exhibition images presenting us with the havoc of man’s intrusion. Adams and Porter are followed by a group of younger landscape photographers who came of age in the 1970s—Robert Adams, Robert Glenn Ketchum, and Mark Klett—using their powerful images as subtle advocacy.
The online exhibition includes written artist state-ments and video interviews with the artists, the exhi-bition curator Katherine Ware, and major figures in the environmental movement such as Jack Loeffler. A curator’s blog invites public comments. An invitation to the museum’s Facebook fans to upload their own landscape photographs was well received and drew attention to the site.
The gallery exhibition of Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment is accompanied by a lecture series, gallery talks given by the exhibi-tion artists, a speaker’s and a film series. With the online exhibition remaining up through the run of the museum exhibition, these activities will be recorded, and, along with updates and observations from the
curator and artists, will be added to the online site until the gallery exhibition’s close. The Earth Now online exhibition is its own living and breathing environ-ment—albeit virtual.

In Appreciation of MDA
Museum Development Associates (MDA) of Santa Fe has closed its doors after providing over five years of valuable support to New Mexico’s museums and staff. Since its inception, MDA provided training and services in collections management, operations, and infrastructure development―offering “a hand up” to the many small and rural museums in our state. In 2009, Museum Development Associates entered into a collab-orative agreement with Eastern New Mexico University to present a professional certifica-tion program in museum skills and training through distance learning: Small Museum Pro! This program is still being offered and the schedule and offerings can be found at www.smallmuseumpro.org. Classes cover collections management, collections care, education, administration, and exhibitions. 2011 classes are currently being offered in April and June.
NMAM is grateful to Susan Barger and her associates for the role they have played in offering affordable and practical training to staff and volunteers in the small, emerging, and rural museums of our state. MDA’s service to our museum community was valued and will be missed. We wish Susan the very best.

New Mexico’s Small Museums A Links Series
Norman Petty, his wife and pianist Violet, and guitarist Jack Vaughn formed the Norman Petty Trio in the late 1940s. Their major hit, “Mood Indigo,” enabled them to expand their small Clovis studio into the facility that attracted Buddy Holly and
the Crickets from nearby Lubbock, Texas in 1956. There the Crickets recorded the classic songs “That’ll Be The Day,” “Oh Boy!” and “Words of Love.” Roy Orbison also recorded at the studio ("ooby Dooby" and "Tryin to Get To You" with the Teen Kings), along with many other artists from the 1940s into the 1980s. Petty was not only an indepen-dent music producer, he was also a music publisher, and won major awards for his songwriting.
Today the Norman Petty Studios in Clovis are curated
by Kenneth Broad, a Clovis pastor who was appointed by the trustees of the Petty estate, and was recognized as the Clovis Citizen of the Year in 2009 for his dedica-tion to preserving the Petty legacy. My husband and I were lucky enough to tour the studios with Mr. Broad a couple of years ago. He treated us to a full blast from the speakers in the main recording room where we could stand in front of the original vocal mics and channel Buddy. In an adjacent control room is the original recording equipment. In the back of the studio is a small apartment where the Pettys allowed visiting artists—often youngsters without the scratch for hotel digs—to live when recording: the kitchen and living rooms are pristine marvels of 1950s design. The walls are lined with photographs, awards, 45s, albums, and sheet music that origi-nated at the studios.
The nearby Norman and Vi Petty Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum in Clovis displays original recording equipment from the Petty studios, and many intriguing artifacts from the Petty estate, including Norman Petty’s collection of music boxes and his 1965 Yamaha motorcycle. His World War II uniform is on display: Petty’s military history plays a role in the Buddy Holly story. Petty liked to perform on military bases, and he loved the organ in the chapel at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City. He recorded Holly’s hit “Maybe Baby” on that organ.
The Norman Petty Studios at 1313 West 7th Street are open to visitors by appoint-ment only. Call the Clovis Chamber of Commerce at 575-763-3435. The Norman and Vi Petty Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum, 105 East Grand Avenue within the Clovis Business Enterprise Center, is open Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. For more informa-tion on Clovis’s Rock ‘n’ Roll heaven, visit www.clovisnm.org or call 575-763-3435.

Southeast
Our second and third regional gatherings of southeastern New Mexico museum/cultural organization personnel were held in September and December 2010. Both meetings were productive and worthwhile. Our group is focusing on two main projects: a regional marketing brochure and a Statehood Centennial cattle drive. We are also thinking about developing an art trail for our region. Our meetings have resulted in exhibit and resource sharing and brainstorming.

Northwest
The Northwest Region looks forward to welcoming NMAM members to the Annual Conference in November—plans are well underway for a culturally rich experience in the Four Corners.
Museum volunteers, professionals, and interested supporters continue to develop the Four Corners Museum Network and to further the regional interests of institu-tions in the Four Corners. If you are interested in getting involved with the events, networking, training, and educational collaboration, please contact us at [email protected]..
Local Focus: The Riverside Nature Center
Farmington may draw to mind the starkness of the desert and remote rocky bluffs, but within the community is found an oasis of waterfowl, nesting eagles, and deer at the Riverside Nature Center. The Center is a developed wetland located next to the San Juan River and is a must-see in Farmington. A paved, lighted trail leads the seeker from a park, through woods, and along the river first to the All American Veterans Memorial, where computer kiosks teach of our military heritage and all services are honored, from the American Revolution to Iraq. After some time spent in reflection, continue to the Riverside Nature Center, where all manner of critters await you. Visit exhibits relating to the Center and wetland sustainability while viewing wildlife from the conservatory. (505-599-1422)
