Join us in Santa Fe!
Our 2016 Annual Conference, Earth Paper Sky, will be held from October 20-23, at the New Mexico History Museum and Palace of the Governors, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Our conference is currently at capacity and we can no longer accept people on the Waitlist.
Land, sustainability, and water conservation are high priority matters as the language of global warming shifts from prevention to adaptation. As citizens of the world, artists, educators, toolmakers, conservators, printers, papermakers, and historians, our job is to collectively try to work for a better tomorrow. EARTH PAPER SKY, the 2016 Friends of Dard Hunter Annual Meeting, will be addressing these issues and more, while hosted by the New Mexico History Museum in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. Come join the annual conference as we spend time collectively learning and engaging with our materials, land, and practices. Additional information about our Members' Exhibition, Keepsake Exchange, Image Share, and Banquet and Auction as well as travel and accommodations information is on the conference homepage, which will be updated with new information as it becomes available. You may write to Vice President of Annual Meetings, Marie McInerney (earthpapersky@gmail.com).
