Carla Forrest, PhD, past-President of both the Rio Grande Art Association and Plein Air Painters of New Mexico gives a thought-provoking, excellent presentation! In it, she focuses on today's direction in fine art and the role of visual artists. Her belief is that we're living in an era often described as a "new Modern renaissance". As the Renaissance of the past was born out of the grim years of the plague, this new era is born out of a similar time in our recent past. She points out that this new era is shaped by the entanglement of disciplines, technologies, cultures and ideas. Her descriptions and explanations will offer much food for thought.
