Burchfield Penney Art Center Exclusive Guided Art Trip: Once-In-A-Lifetime Luxury Art and Food Adventure to New Mexico and The Lightning Field

[ translate ]

Experience
Literature: Bid on an exclusive guided art trip! This once-in-a-lifetime luxury art and food adventure to New Mexico and The Lightning Field is for six days and five nights for two guests. Up to four people may travel for a 40% supplement of the winning bid per adult or 30% per child under 16. The trip can be purchased by a group of up to 6 persons.

Burchfield Penney Director Dennis Kois will be your personal guide on an exclusive art trip to remote New Mexico to one of the signature artworks of the 20th Century-- Walter De Maria's Lightning Field. Visiting will change the way you think about art--and your place in the world.

You'll be among the few to have ever stayed overnight at the simple cabin owned by the Dia Art Foundation adjacent to Lightning Field. This globally recognized masterpiece of minimalist art is comprised of 400 polished stainless-steel poles installed in a grid array measuring one mile by one kilometer. The poles -- two inches in diameter and averaging 20 feet in height -- are spaced 220 feet apart and have pointed tips that define a horizontal plane which attracts lightning strikes.

As part of your New Mexico adventure you'll enjoy a luxury itinerary in Albuquerque and Santa Fe customized to your interests:

- Stay exclusively at four-star boutique hotels like the Spa at Loretto

- Enjoy dinners paired with fine wines at some of the hottest foodie restaurants such as Sazon, Geronimo, and Los Poblano, including several James Beard nominees

- Visit SITE Santa Fe for cutting edge regional and international contemporary art and enjoy a private Director's tour of the Georgia O'Keeffe museum

- Visit art collective MeowWolf's House of Eternal Return-- a fantastical interactive environment created by 135 artists in an abandoned bowling alley, funded by a multi-million dollar gift from the author of Game of Thrones. Yes... it really is as weird as it sounds

- Visit the Acoma Pueblo Indian Sky City carved into the mesas (the oldest continuously inhabited site in North America)

- Enjoy spa treatments at the legendary 10,000 Waves onsen spa high in the New Mexico desert

- Receive a behind the scenes tour of the Tamarind Institute, one of the most important fine art printmaking programs in the United States

- And more...

The trip will be arranged on a mutually agreeable date between May - October 2020 and will be customized specifically to your interests. It can easily be adapted for a family with children at least 8+ years old (Dennis has guided dozens of family art trips around the world and is himself a parent of three).

Included: The trip includes 5 nights / 6 days accommodations at boutique hotels, fine dining, and local specialty dining for lunches and dinners, all local transport, all excursions, spas, admissions, and costs, tickets, tips, etc.

Not included: Airfare to Albuquerque NM, to allow you to fly as you wish using commercial flights, points/miles, or private jet. Daily breakfast on your own. BPAC reserves the right to substitute destinations/excursions at its sole discretion to ensure a top-notch experience.
