Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival 6

Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival Returns to Albuquerque

Albuquerque is New Mexico’s biggest city, a unique desert metropolis with a long modern history that can be traced back to its Spanish colonial beginnings.  The area’s history can be traced much further back to its days as a settlement for Native Americans, which is reflected in the many museums and galleries in Albuquerque that show off Native American arts and crafts.  This is one significant part of a larger art scene in Albuquerque.  Albuquerque has a great legacy of being a regional artistic hub, and one of the highlights of the Albuquerque art scene is the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival.

The Angel in the Marble

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel calls Architecture the “primary art.” Hegel, a founding figure of Western philosophy, claims this because it is the art closest to raw nature. Going far back into B.C. times, the first several thousands of years of building construction were more or less reformations of the natural landscape. This idea of architecture as the “primary art” seems reinforced by Leonardo da Vinci with the Vitruvian Man and by Michelangelo, who after an illustrious career as an artist, chose to dedicate the final years of his career with much focus to master building.
