Three of Santa Fe, NM’s finest galleries are heading to Dallas, TX this fall for a unique art collecting and charitable event. “From Santa Fe with Art” will feature fine art from the Joyce Robins Gallery, The Peterson-Cody Gallery and Ventana Fine Art and benefit Operation Homefront Texas. “From Santa Fe with Art” takes place November 14-16, 2008 at the Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco, TX. All ticket sales, raffle sales and a portion of art sale proceeds will benefit Operation Homefront Texas (www.operationhomefront.net/texas) which provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home.

“From Santa Fe with Art” begins on Friday evening, November 14 with a by- invitation-only sizzling Santa Fe style cocktail reception for Texas-based clients of the three, highly respected Galleries. The Saturday and Sunday festivities are open to the public.
On Saturday, November 15 from 10am -4pm and again on Sunday from 11 am – 3pm. collectors will be able to view and purchase fine art by a variety of nationally-recognized artists represented by the three galleries. Also on display will be the “Holiday Card” art project executed by Dana Wade’s Art Students from Pine Shadows Elementary School, Spring Branch Independent School District, Houston, Texas. The more than 500 student- created holiday cards will be sent to American soldiers serving overseas. Tickets for the Saturday and Sunday events are $20 per person.
On Saturday night, November 16 from 5pm-8pm, the Galleries will host a gala cocktail reception which will include raffle drawings, poster signing by John Nieto and celebrity guests, including 10 of the Galleries’ artists. Tickets for the Saturday evening event are $50 per person and include admission, a $25 raffle ticket, champagne and hors d’oeuvres.

Joyce Robins Gallery, Peterson-Cody Gallery and Ventana Fine Art represent more than 50 contemporary artists working across a broad spectrum of art styles (representational, abstract, expressionist) and media. The Galleries have over 40 years of combined experience selling fine art in Santa Fe. The Galleries will be exhibiting works by many of the artists they represent. In addition, a number of artists represented by the three Galleries will be in attendance throughout the weekend to greet collectors. Confirmed artists include John Axton, Darrell Davis, Stephen Day, Dick Evans, Susan Evans, Kathleen Kinkopf, John Nieto, Bette Ridgeway, Greg Skol and Rebecca Tobey. The weekend’s events will feature raffles for fine art by Gallery artists and one-of-a-kind Santa Fe experiences, including a progressive dinner with featured artists at the three Galleries for up to 12 guests.
“We are thrilled to bring our finest artwork to Dallas and to support Operation Homefront Texas” says Ventana Fine Art owner Connie Axton. “This is a terrific way to exhibit the best of Santa Fe art to collectors throughout Texas. We look forward to seeing many of our existing clients, meeting new collectors, supporting a very worthwhile cause and having a fun-filled and exciting November 14- 16 week-end.”
