Most of what we are able to award in scholarships comes from this single event. I have been thinking about how to create involvement from all of those interested who are part of our email catalog. Legacy XII will be held Mother's Day weekend, which is May 11th and 12th. If anyone is interested in attending this great event, please let me know and I will put you on the mailing list for future information. Legacy has been called the "best live art auction in New Mexico". Ben Wright of Sedona, Arizona is this year's featurd artist. We are pleased to have Ben's continuing support and glad to have him as our 12th featured artist. He follows, in order, Amado Pena, Dave McGary, JD Challeneger (2), Thom Wheeler, Carla Romero, Kevin Red Star, CJ Wells, John Axton, Anthony Martinez, and David DeVary. Our participating artists (over 120+ of them) are superb; the food and entertainment are special: and our celebrity guests are first class. The best part, however, is all the great art for a great cause. I will be posting more about the event in the days ahead so keep checking back. If you want to see a short video filmed four years ago and learn more about the event, you can visit www.legacyartabq.org. Enjoy!

]]>This was donated to the Pena Art Has Heart Foundation andhttp://www.arthasheart.org/home/2012/2/16/this-was-donated-to-the-pena-art-has-heart-foundation-and.htmlArt Has Heart2012-02-16T17:12:54Z

because this piece should be on someone's wall, we would rather trade it for a tax deductible donation to the foundation. This is an original piece done in 1981 (30 years old) of which Amado did five. It is done with prisma colored pencils and the image rests in the middle of a large piece of handmade paper. It is unframed and still in the shrinkwrapped state it was 30 years ago. If you have an interest in this piece, please contact mike_dvlt@yahoo.com.

This is the very first view of the DVD cover for the soon to be released "Pena: From Culture to Canvas" documentary. Initially, these will only be available from the Art Has Heart Foundation. Subsequently, it will be available from additional sources. You can't order just yet but, hopefully, within 30 - 45 days you will be able to do so. This a very good film that defines Amado's career more broadly than most are aware and answers a number of the questions posed by fans, collectors, academics, friends, and others. We hope to have a 90 second video teaser posted soon. The right panel is the front of the DVD box and the left panel is the back.

]]>Two Donated Artworkshttp://www.arthasheart.org/home/2012/1/3/two-donated-artworks.htmlArt Has Heart2012-01-03T18:42:53Z

The Art Has Heart Foundation recently received two wonderful Lithographs that were done by the legendary Frank Howell. Frank Howell is one of the five artists that are credited with driving the contemporary southwest art movement (Pena, Gorman, Vigil, and Nieto). The foundation has no reason to hold art and it is our goal to convert these donated pieces into opportunities. I am sure there are some of you that collect southwest art more broadly that just Amado M. Pena so that is why we are presenting these to each of you. We are pricing these two works at their current value of $1500 each or both together at $2750 + shipping. If anyone receiving this email wants these, please send an email to mike_dvlt@yahooo.com. I will put the 2nd photo in a seperate posting. Title: Plains Vestige Medium: Lithograph #37/140 1992
