4th generation Patagonians Glen “Gooch” Goodwin and Kayla Lewis-Simpson will present their photography at this art opening highlighting the landscape, wildlife, people, and history of the area. This will be a three-week exhibition held at The Patagonia Museum and will be open for public viewing during museum open hours, Thursday-Saturday, 2-4pm.

Come join the talented artists, Lorenzo and Lucy Mora, from Mata Ortiz who will demonstrate the making of their famous and beautiful pottery pieces. Some of the work will be available for purchase. For any questions, contact German Quiroga 520-343-5641 or Rose Quiroga 520-603-5889  

This year the theme is Funky Formal, featuring a red-carpet entry with photo opportunities, live auction, raffle, and Golden Ocelot Awards to deserving community conservationists. Last year's fabulous first-time event raised over $10,000. This year we aim to raise 50% more to support PARA’s vital work. We hope you will attend! And please invite others, especially those unfamiliar with PARA's work, as we hope to grow our pack of PARA Watchdogs. Tickets go on sale September 20, and will be limited to 100. You may purchase your tickets online or in person at the Patagonia Trading Post at  317 McKeown.
