Thoughts and Ideas 4/24
CONVERSATION Starter
Arts Visibility and awareness in Albuquerque. Where is it? Do you think Albuquerque is short-changed in this regard? Why or why not? How do you become aware of dance, art, theater, events? What more can be done to increase visibility and awareness of all the fabulous dancers, projects, and events that are here?
Exercise
