Mesa Verde Foundation, in conjunction with Mesa Verde National Park, is holding its inaugural Rims to Ruins event May 20, 21 and 22, 2013. A group of 28 nationally recognized artists will capture the light and magic of Mesa Verde National Park this May in the first Rims to Ruins plein air paint-out event. 

 

Paintings completed during a “quick draw,” depicting the ruins of the Ancestral Puebloans and the spectacular Southwestern landscapes, will be sold in a special auction and brunch May 22 at the park on Wetherill Mesa. All proceeds will benefit Mesa Verde Foundation and Mesa Verde National Park. 

 

Finished works of Mesa Verde, and its ruins and landscapes completed by the artists will be exhibited and sold at a special reception and sale at the Denver Public Library on October 22.
