Dreams of Angels & Dust Storms: An Evening on the Rio Gila in1848September 18, 7:00 pmThe keynote address will feature art historian, Gray Sweeney, in a discussion of the role of art in the settling of the Southwest. This evening lecture will vividly depict how survey artists of the U.S.-Mexico Boundary Survey, led by literary scholar and artist John Russell Bartlett, utilized artistic renderings of
the desert landscape of the Southwest to lure
Easterners out in an effort to settle the land.
Boundary surveyors catalogued the plant and
animal species of the Gila River due to its role as the official US/Mexican boundary—after the
Mexican War and before the Gadsden Purchase.
Works by Bartlett, Henry Cheever Pratt and Seth
Eastman will be highlighted. Exhibitors located in the lobby before and after the program. SUGGESTED DONATION = $5 Held in conjunction with the Mimbres Region Arts Council Evening with the Artists Series. See our website: www.gilaconservation.org/fourthannualgrf.shtml
