Convergence 2010

Published by at 1:45 PM under General

Is anyone from NOBO planning to attend Convergence – in Albuqeurque in July?  I’m still working my way thru the schedule for registration and wondering about how many workshops to take, what Albuquerque is like, sharing costs (of hotel room) etc.  I’d be glad to hear from you by email or phone also (978-430–9780).

Thanks,  and Happy Holidays!  Liz

    I was in New Mexico last summer and it was wonderful. I spent a day in Taos — Taos Pueblo, Rachel Brown’s weaving store, several rug shops, and a great batik artist, and a day in Santa Fe loving the shops and the museums — especially the International Folk Art Museum. I was several days in Albuquerque and enjoyed the city especially the Old Town section. I also visited Toadlena Trading Post which showcases Two Gray Hills rugs and weavers. The area is rich in cultural history and heritage and, if you are a Tony Hillerman fan, you will recognize many of the places mentioned in his books.

    In the interest of complete disclosure, I should tell you I am on the HGA Board and I was in Albuquerque for the Board meeting, but I am replying because I loved the area, and not because of the affiliation.

    Happy Holidays, Mary Ann

    Pretty tempting but sadly, no.
    It will be great if people from NOBO attend so we can get a first person account of the fun!

    I’m thinking about attending but I won’t be able to make a decision until it is a liile closer. I went to the New Mexico tourism site and requested a tourist guide book. It arrived this week and has great information on attractions an suich.

    Unfortunately, I won’t be attending Convergence; travel budget is being spent in other ways this year, including (fingers crossed!) a tapestry workshop in conjunction with the ATA/ATS conference in October.

    However, I lived in Santa Fe at one point in time, have returned for visits on several occasions since then, and encourage all of you who can do so to spend time there in conjunction with Convergence.

    For starters, you might want to explore Canyon Road (lots of galleries), the Folk Art Museum (textiles), and all the shops and galleries located around, or close to, the Plaza. Actually, you could spend several days in Santa Fe and not see it all.

    By the way, in the off chance you miss a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, there is one little DD tucked back in an obscure corner of the inner city.
