NeoRio 2009 Thank You

Thank You for Creating and Attending NeoRio 2009!

NeoRio 2009 was is an example of a unique collaboration between artists, conservationist organizations, and the Bureau of Land Management Taos Field Office. The event created a wonderful foundation  for innovative outdoor collaborative art events that we can now build on.

Thank you to the many open minds and willing and dedicated staff of the Bureau of Land Management Taos Field Office and the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance staff members and volunteers that created NeoRio 2009!  Thank you Basia Irland, our featured artist, for sharing her project, “Reseeding/Receding” with us, an informative and poetic combination of innovative material and social sculpture. Thank you to John Wenger for guidance and vision and Dutch oven Enchiladas and to Aron Rael, John Bailey and Craig Chapman for being open to collaboration. Thank you also to our cosponsoring organizations: the Village of Questa, Amigos Bravos, Rio Grande Restoration, Rivers and Birds, Localogy and HEREKEKE.

Thank you to everyone who came to experience and participate in the different aspects of the day! Your presence and and participation provided the alchemy that made the day a success.
