Returning this fall are many of the community’s favorite immersive classes in collaboration with esteemed partners such as the Four Seasons Resort, Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum, Santa Fe Sky Railway, and the Rodrigue Life and Legacy Foundation. Additionally, SFCC is thrilled to introduce its newest partner, CHOMP Food Hall, which will host a “Fine Art of Charcuterie” class, as well as serve as the vibrant venue for the student showcase for CE’s new Jam Academy class.
“We’re excited to continue to expand our world-class offerings this fall,” said Benjamin Lincoln, Director of Continuing Education. “SFCC is proud to welcome renowned professional guitarist Jason Moscartolo to our roster of stellar music instructors. This fall CE students will also have the opportunity to delve into the fascinating life and art of American artist George Rodrigue presented amidst a spectacular exhibition in the SFCC Visual Arts Gallery.”
Express yourself with music
The Jam Academy, led by Jason Moscartolo, debuts this fall, offering a 10-week class open to beginner and intermediate musicians, singers, and songwriters. Moscartolo, a seasoned touring guitarist and songwriter, brings a wealth of experience from his years on the road with national acts including country music star Jessie James Decker and Lava Atlantic Records’ Tony C and the Truth. The Thursday evening class will meet at the college and will culminate with a showcase performance at CHOMP.
SFCC’s CE catalog also features a full array of classes to develop or hone musical and songwriting skills in a range of styles from contemporary pop to jazz.
Develop through art exploration
CE’s art classes allow individuals to grow their skills, develop personally and gain a greater appreciation of art in Santa Fe’s rich art community. Learn art by picking up colored-pencils or paintbrushes while guided by experienced teachers, who are working artists. Develop new skills such as felt needling, silkscreen printmaking, collage or basketry. Also, new this semester is a class in making an Appalachian Ladderback chair.
This fall the SFCC Visual Arts Gallery will feature an exhibition highlighting the iconic work of the late George Rodrigue, curated by Wendy Rodrigue Magnus of the George Rodrigue Life and Legacy Foundation. Wendy will present two special family-friendly classes: “BIG DREAMS: George Rodrigue Exhibition Tour” and “Blue Dog: An Art Adventure for Families.”
The Spanish Colonial Arts Society will host the class, “Heritage Arts of New Mexico.” The mix of lecture with a behind-the-scenes museum tour will offer dynamic discussions about the history of heritage arts in New Mexico through the lens of museums, art markets, and patrons. The Spanish Colonial Art Society’s extensive collection at the Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum will serve as a visual example of the influences, materials, and artists who contributed to creating the unique art forms still practiced today from tinwork, straw applique to lowriders.
