Welcome to the Artisans League at Trilogy in Vistancia.
We are a community of artisans celebrating and enjoying fine arts and crafts. Our members span all levels of their disciplines, from new artists to gallery artists - each of us on a journey to fulfill a creative spirit and all of us working to make art a meaningful part of our lives.
I am proud to be the President of this wonderful League and to be a part of a professional Board who is here to help deliver a platform for this artistic adventure for all our members and the community.
I am so excited to tell you abut what's ahead for the rest of 2026 and for 2027.
First, we have a new brand look and feel to the League - for the website, for all our communication and for the ARTWALK.
This integrated brand will bring a look of professionalism and polish to the League. You will see it wherever the League is represented. The “tag line” of the brand, “Create, Connect and Inspire” captures the essence for whom we strive to be.
For the ARTWALK, you will see this new brand well-represented through our many improved features designed to serve you and League better. You will see new advertising extending outside the Trilogy Community. There will be new signage, an increase in new directional signs and a new online video that can be used in our internal advertising and in social media.
For the Fall Show (on Saturday, November 7th and Sunday, November 8th), we will be at the Tewa room at the Kiva Club and at Artist Homes and Home Studios. Our goal is to create an integrated look and feel to the event.
To help with this goal we will have a new and improved map, a new online flip book where artists will post a representative picture of their work, and a Treasure Hunt that will foster attendance throughout the event.
Whether you are a participating artist or just out to enjoy art, you will experience a look and feel that is contemporary, professional and engaging. Please plan to participate, celebrate and enjoy!
The Programming Team has been planning some great events as well, and a few surprises with creative classes in the fine arts, an array of craft classes and classes to help you better display and promote your work. These will be fun sessions for learning and connecting.
Two “open studio” times have been scheduled each week. As in the past, we will continue with Monday afternoons from 12 to 3 for Fine Arts, and Tuesday afternoons from 12 to 3 for Creative Arts and Crafts. However, both times are open to and welcome any and all Artisans League members. This is our club time to hang out and socialize while we work.
Also, be aware as we try new things there will be a few “Try It” sessions during both open studio times. Theses “Try It” sessions will be advertised and posted on the website and the MTL.
Finally, we are planning a Social Event for January - more information to follow.
The Artisans League is an organization driven by volunteers. We have a great and rich legacy of making art accessible and meaningful to our members and our community. Our hope is to continue to build a high level of engagement and enrichment for those that we serve.
Please join the celebration and you will be in good company.
