#1 THE IDEA:
Cibola Arts Gallery in Mountainair, the mother of this wonderful idea, thought it was about time the whole town of Mountainair celebrate all of her artists by having a Mountainair Art Studio and Gallery Tour.
#2: THE PLAN:
Four Mountainair art galleries, including La Galería @ The Shaffer, Cibola Arts Gallery, Gypsy Raven Art Gallery, and Manzano Mountain Art Council and at least 9 private studios all decided to open their doors to the public on Saturday, May 11 from 10-5PM.
#3: The INVITATION
