On the first Cafe Con Leche of the new year, Guest host Allison Kuper Smith talked with Lanova Sheets and Cheri Damschroder about “Mindfulness, Meditation, and More.”
On the very last Café con Leche program of the year, Greg was pleased to be talking with Heather Pollard and Mary Kay Papen about a range of efforts they've participated in and led over the past several decades. Particular attention will be focused on the Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site, but the support for Mesilla Valley Hospice through The Emporium and other community endeavors will also be discussed.
We thank sponsors Penny Peace and George Ivolin of Mad Hatter Gallery for their ongoing support. Greg’s guests the morning of Christmas Eve were journalists Richard Coltharp and Mike Cook. The conversation included news coverage of the arts, the journalism program at NMSU, the place of editorial comment in modern journalism, and what are hallmarks of objective journalism.
Greg is excited to be having Ross Marks as his guest on this week's Cafe Con Leche. Ross is a local filmmaker, Creative Media Institute professor, and executive director of the Las Cruces International Film Festival. With film production expanding in our area, this is an excellent time to talk about its history here, its current opportunities, and where things seem to be going. Ross also has a film in theaters currently, Santa’s Cousin, and Greg will be asking him about what it took to get the film made here and distributed in places other than locally.
Greg’s guest is Jim Peach. Topics will include the “Art of Economics” in what is currently happening locally, state-wise, nationally, and internationally as well is what may be coming.
Greg’s “guest” is Zane Chaffee. The quotation marks are included because Zane is always in the studio for Café con Leche but on the other side of the glass, at the sound board. Greg and Zane will be talking about the art of sound and Zane’s roles as sound engineer, musician, singer, and more. Please tune in to hear about this field of the arts and Zane’s place(s) in it.
Greg is pleased to welcome Jim Rodgers and welcome back Mary Diesel to talk about projects they’ve been working on and to share about the photography exhibition, “Evocations, Stories and Dreams,” coming up in December. Jim is one of the three photographers in the exhibition which will also include Barbara Houghton and Alicia Savery. Dori McKay and Mary also have ceramics to be seen in the gallery.
Greg’s guest were Martha Rodriguez and Paul Mach of Las Esperanzas. Las Esperanzas recently celebrated milestones for the organization and for Las Cruces. Other Topics will include historic preservation in the original town site of Las Cruces and activities happening with Klein Park.
Greg’s guests are artists Tauna Cole Dorn and Raul Dorn. This creative couple talked with Greg about their own art as well as their work as educators here.
