A Mary Jane Colter Weekend: The Shaping of Southwest Style

A special event co-hosted by La Fonda on the Plaza

Apr 1, 2011 through Apr 2, 2011

Spend a weekend exploring the life of Mary Jane Colter, the brilliant architect and designer whose work for the Fred Harvey Co. left a lasting legacy of what became known worldwide as Southwest style. Begin with a reception April 1 at La Fonda on the Plaza, where Colter’s designs still define an authentic Santa Fe experience. Add on a special, sponsor-level dinner in a La Fonda setting that most distinctively captures her design aesthetic. On April 2, take part in a series of lectures, a Harvey House dinner and discussion of Colter’s legacy.

Tickets start at $100 ($50 tax-deductible); $200 for the events plus the sponsor dinner ($100 tax-deductible). Proceeds benefit the New Mexico History Museum. Call 505-988-1234 or log onto www.TicketsSantaFe.org for tickets. Space is limited.
