D ea r M embe r s ,
As we anticipate the busy spring and summer months, we at the Museum
of New Mexico Foundation extend our thanks to each of you for your
continued support and participation as museum members.
In this issue of Member News, we’ve included our new 2013 Member Program
Guide. Our museum directors and staff have been working with our trustee
committees to plan a line-up of special events and opportunities exclusively
for members. Please keep this guide handy for reference throughout the year,
and mark your calendars now for your favorite special events. Also, watch your
email for additional invitations and details throughout the year. We are working
to reduce our carbon footprint, so expect fewer paper communications, though
we will not bombard you with too many emails. The cost savings will help us
be even more efficient in supporting our museums and monuments.
In this issue you will also discover the many special exhibitions that our
curators and other museum professionals have planned for 2013. The breadth,
depth and quality of these offerings are remarkable and should make us all
proud of our Museum of New Mexico system.
New Mexico History Museum Director
Frances Levine and Museum of
New Mexico Foundation President
and CEO John Easley are working
together to plan fundraising for
a series of upcoming exhibitions
at the New Mexico History Museum
and Palace of the Governors.

These exhibitions and their related education programs and publications are
made possible only through your direct support of our Exhibitions Development Fund. Since we initiated the fund 18 months ago, nearly 100 donors
have pledged and contributed some $300,000, a vital investment in the vibrant
cultural community of New Mexico.
Again, we thank you for your support of and engagement with our museums
and monuments. You are truly making a difference for New Mexico and all
those who love our state.
Sincerely,
John P. Easley

World-Class Exhibitions
Enjoy an International,
Cross-Cultural Journey in 2013
In 2013, thanks to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s
Exhibitions Development Fund, museum members and visitors
can take an international, cross-cultural journey without ever
leaving New Mexico.
A new year means new exhibitions and related programs at
each of our museums — and all are made possible through
your private support. The Exhibitions Development Fund
was created to make the most of your contributions today
and in the future. The fund not only fills a gap in state
support — which is limited to museum staff, facilities and collections care — it is helping to develop full seasons of exhibitions,
events and programs that provide more than 335,000 annual
visitors with unforgettable opportunities for learning at our
state museums and historic monuments.
This year, members can look forward to learning about the
popular kite-flying tradition of Japan, the mystique of the New
Mexico cowboy, important Pueblo Indian musical traditions,
contemporary art collecting and more. Behind-the-scenes work
on each exhibition has taken place over many months, and
even years, by museum directors, curators and staff. They have
carefully researched themes, art objects and other select details
to bring you the following outstanding exhibitions:
museumfoundation.org
The Cowboy Way
Perhaps the most romanticized image from the American
West is that of the cowboy. In New Mexico, the cowboy
tradition dates to 1598, when the arrival of the first Spanish
settlers established a culture of horsemanship in the state. The
New Mexico History Museum highlights both the myth and
reality of this centuries-old icon with the upcoming exhibition,
Cowboys: Real and Imagined.
Curated by Byron Price, director of the Charles M. Russell
Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the
University of Oklahoma, the exhibition explores various
portrayals of the cowboy lifestyle in art, literature, film
and advertising, while featuring unique items of authentic
cowboy gear.
New Mexico History Museum Director Frances Levine says
that one of her favorite horse adornments is a Spanish Colonial
anquera, or horse rump cover, which was borrowed from the
Museum of International Folk Art. “It is so beautifully stitched
and ornamented with jingles that it must have made a lovely
sound when the horses walked along the trail,” Levine says.
The museum is also showing its Bell Ranch Chuck Wagon. In
this case, the wagon will be surrounded by Erwin Smith photographs of cowboys utilizing the wagon in its original context.
The photos of these cowboys at work and play, Levine says, are
“some of the stars of the show.”

The exhibition will provide members with a greater understanding of the West. It may also surprise viewers to learn that
so many of the West’s most popular cowboy images were taken
on New Mexico ranches.

to a carp. Though particularly beautiful, Katz-Harris says the
kite is also quite fragile with a number of unfortunate tears.
“It will be one of the more challenging pieces for our team
to display, but it absolutely had to be in the show,” she says.
Join us for our Members Preview of Tako Kichi: Kite Crazy in Japan
on Saturday, June 8, 2 p.m., at the Museum of International Folk Art.
Crazy for Kites
The Heart of the People
On June 8, members will preview the Museum of International
Folk Art’s Tako Kichi: Kite Crazy in Japan, an exhibition featuring
the private Japanese kite collection of Adirondack Museum
Director David Kahn.
Music is at the heart of the lives and traditions of the Southwest’s Native peoples.
“It’s a remarkable collection that represents some of the most
respected kite-makers in the country, including the late Teizo
Hashimoto,” says Felicia Katz-Harris, curator of Asian and
Middle Eastern folk art.
Made from delicate split bamboo structures and sheets of
handmade Japanese washi paper, the kites highlight dramatic
images of superheroes, demons, legendary warriors and more,
and range in size from two inches to 12 feet.
“The care put into the kite-making process is fascinating, especially considering that paper kites are intended to be ephemeral
items that get ripped by the wind, or totally destroyed in kite
fighting competitions,” Katz-Harris says.
One kite escaped such a fate and is now a star of the exhibition. This nobori, or carp kite, features Kintaro, a popular Japanese manga (comic book) character, who is holding on
With the opening of Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest at
the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture in September, members
will explore more than two thousand years in the continued
evolution of indigenous music and musicians through Southwest history to today. The exhibition showcases the museum’s
extraordinary musical collection, while multimedia elements
illuminate the sights and sounds of various musical styles.
According to Tony Chavarria, the museum’s curator of
ethnology, one of the most interesting pieces in the show is a
five-tone drum by modern-day artist Glenn Chalan of Cochiti
Pueblo. The work was purchased by the museum at the Native
Treasures: Indian Arts Festival a few years ago.
“[The drum] is a great example of artists working in traditional media and materials who are showing innovation and
creativity,” Chavarria says.
Business Council members are invited to the Members Preview
of Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest on Thursday,
October 17, 5:30 p.m., at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture.

The Gifts of Collecting
It may not be difficult to imagine the husband-and-wife team
of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel building a collection of some of
the most prestigious minimalist and conceptual artworks of our
day. But when one discovers that they amassed their more than
4,000-object collection on salaries as a reference librarian and
a United States Postal Service employee, it’s cause for disbelief.
Members can see the results of the couple’s years of collecting
this fall when the New Mexico Museum of Art opens The
Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States,
an exhibition that is part of a museum-wide program dedicated
to the art of collecting.
With the assistance of the National Gallery of Art, the National
Endowment for the Arts and the Institute of Museum and
Library Services, the Vogels launched a national gifting
program in 2008. Through the program, they distributed a
total of 2,500 artworks from their collection — with 50 works
going to a select art institution in each of the 50 states. In New
Mexico, the New Mexico Museum of Art reaped the benefits
of their generosity.
While the gifted artworks are primarily works on paper, the
couple’s main collecting interest, paintings and sculptures are
also included. Among the most significant items, says Laura
Addison, the museum’s curator of contemporary art, are “two
watercolors by part-time New Mexico resident Lynda Benglis”
and “two suites of twenty-two drawings by Abiquiu resident
Richard Tuttle.”
Also included in this extraordinary gift are works by artists
Robert Barry, Charles Clough, R. M. Fischer, Richard Francisco,
museumfoundation.org
Jene Highstein, Bill Jensen, Joan Jonas, Michael Lucero, Richard
Nonas, Lucio Pozzi, Edda Renouf and Judy Rifka.
Join us for our First Look and Members Preview, Celebrating
Collections, on Thursday, September 26, at the New Mexico
Museum of Art.
For further details on these and other exhibitions
and upcoming events in 2013, please visit
museumfoundation.org or refer to the enclosed
2013 Member Program Guide.

Tammy Garcia
Coming Full Circle in Native Art
As a fourth-generation Santa Clara potter, Tammy Garcia was immersed in the
craft at a very young age. She recalls collectors and wholesalers visiting the home
of her grandmother, renowned potter Mary Cain. The message that her family’s
rich history, talent and skill was important to buyers was clear. Additionally, she
says, “Our proximity to Santa Fe and its museums, including the Museum of
Indian Arts & Culture, was a source of influence for my craft.”
By age 16, Garcia had sold her first piece and decided to pursue a career as an
artist. Today, she is a noted artist in her own right, working in various media,
including ceramic, bronze and glass. Garcia’s work is shown in galleries across
the country, including Blue Rain Gallery in Santa Fe, which is owned by her
husband Leroy, a Museum of New Mexico Foundation advisory trustee.
Leroy opened Blue Rain Gallery in 1993, after being inspired by his wife’s artistry.
Although the gallery did not start showing her work for another seven years, the
result has been beneficial for both.
“The separation between the marketing and financial side of the gallery and the
art is a very clear boundary between us,” Leroy says. “It has allowed Tammy to
work solely on her art, which allows for greater innovation.”
The Garcias contribute to the Foundation personally and through the gallery’s
Business Council membership. “Being a part of the Foundation is a way of giving
back for all the help we have received over the years. The Foundation’s membership has been very supportive of Blue Rain,” Leroy says.
Tammy is the 2013 Living Treasure Artist, an honor bestowed upon living Native
artists by Native Treasures: Indian Arts Festival, an annual art show and sale
benefitting the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture.
“There is no greater ambassador of contemporary Native art than Tammy,” Leroy
continues. “Her respect for tradition, and the understanding that her heritage is
the foundation of her work has allowed her to explore new mediums, yet still be
true to tradition.”
For her part, Tammy acknowledges that being this year’s award recipient is a fullcircle moment in her career. “I am honored and thrilled,” she says. “It is exciting
to be able to support the same museum I visited as a child.”

Legacy Society Members
As of January 1, 2013
How Will 2013
Tax Changes Affect
Museum Donors?
The recent passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act
established wide-ranging tax law that may affect museum
donors in a variety of ways due to important new features
on charitable giving. Here are some of the key items included
in the new law:
• IRA charitable rollover is back for 2013 Donors age
70½ or older are eligible to move up to $100,000 from their
IRAs directly to qualified charities on or before December 31,
2013, without having to pay income taxes on the money.
• Income taxes Individual taxpayers earning more than
$400,000 a year will see a tax rate increase. The top
income tax rate has been raised to 39.6 percent in 2013.
• Estate, gift and generation-skipping taxes The new
law permanently preserves the current individual gift,
estate and generation-skipping tax to a unified $5 million
exemption. The annual gift tax exclusion is now $14,000
for individuals.
• Portability In 2013, the portability provision was made
permanent. If one spouse dies without using their federal
estate tax exemption, the unused portion can
be transferred to the surviving spouse.
• Itemized deductions In 2013, itemized deductions,
including charitable deductions, are reduced for individuals
earning $250,000 or more.
• Personal exemptions In 2013, personal exemptions
are limited for individuals making $250,000 or more.
• Dividend income Qualified dividend income will be
taxed at a maximum rate of 20 percent.
• Long-term capital gains The capital gains tax rate
will depend on a taxpayer’s ordinary income tax rate.
Be sure to discuss these changes with your tax advisor,
and please keep charitable giving in mind as a way to match
your personal planning with your philanthropic goals.
For information on charitable
giving, contact Bonnie McLeskey
at (505) 982-6366 ext. 113 or
bonnie@museumfoundation.org.
The Legacy Society honors donors who have made an
estate gift through the Museum of New Mexico Foundation.
Members enjoy exclusive gatherings, special recognition and
make a difference in the future of the museums they love.
The Legacy Society was created in honor of Santa Fe fiber
artist Maggy Ryan, who bequeathed a substantial charitable
remainder trust. A planned gift may take the form of a bequest
in a will or living trust, an IRA or retirement account designation, a gift annuity, a charitable trust or other arrangement.

Ron and Vicki Sullivan
Sharing a Passion for
Native Art and Education
It was a stop at the Grand Canyon’s Hopi House gift shop that ignited
Ron and Vicki Sullivan’s passion for Native Art. “I saw a San Ildefonso
black-on black [pot] and fell in love,” Ron says about the couple’s trip
in the early 1970s.
Shortly thereafter, the Sullivan’s watched a PBS special on Edward Curtis,
an early 20th-century photographer of American Indians, prompting
them to visit a gallery mere blocks from their Miami home to purchase his
work. Both experiences, as well as frequent ski vacations in northern New
Mexico, set the framework for building their collection of Native art.
Visiting Albuquerque in 1985, the couple asked an associate at Tanner
Chaney Gallery how to start building their collection. As Vicki recalls,
“He said, ‘You start by looking at one thing … Be very, very focused so
you can begin to discern within that genre. If you look at everything you
become completely overwhelmed.’ So that trip we looked at kachinas,
and bought two. That’s how it really got galloping.”
Today the Sullivan collection contains 675 pieces and includes works
by Angelita Cheama, Robert Spooner Marcus and Diego Valles.
Now members of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Legacy Society,
the Green Valley, Arizona, residents have bequeathed their collection to
the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, in addition to a generous gift to
support education.
“We knew that by leaving our collection to the Foundation, our wishes
would be fulfilled,” says Ron.
The Sullivans’ love of education influenced their planned gift, which will
ensure that their residuary trust will go toward Native American education
and outreach programs at the museum.
“In our hearts, we are all about education at all ages, all through life,”
Vicki says. “We don’t have children, so this is our way of passing along
what we love to someone who will appreciate it.”

Preserving New Mexico’s
Ranching Legacy
Candace Jacobson’s family has a long ranching history in
New Mexico. Her great-grandparents started raising cattle
in the 1920s in Lea County, and she grew up on a ranch
north of Yeso, between Fort Sumner and Vaughn. Today, her
daughter and her niece’s families continue ranching operations in New Mexico and Texas.
“I have deep ranching roots on both sides of my family: my
great-grandparents on my mother’s side in New Mexico, and
on my dad’s side in Texas,” Jacobson says. “Later, both sets
of grandparents were ranching in New Mexico and Texas.”
Among the family’s colorful cast of characters was Jacobson’s
aunt, Fern Sawyer, a rodeo star in the 1930s and 1940s who
once whipped 150 men in a cutting-horse contest. Sawyer
was as famous for her flashy riding attire as her rodeo skills,
and many items from her color-coordinated closet are in the
National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.
Jacobson’s late mother, Myrl Good, was another family icon.
“While ranching was a big part of her life, Myrl’s influence
was widely felt in many circles throughout New Mexico,”
says Jacobson, a Museum of New Mexico Foundation trustee
and a member of The Circles.
Jacobson honors her family’s unique history through support
of the New Mexico History Museum, and most recently with
a gift to the Director’s Leadership Fund in memory of her
brother, Thomas Jefferson Good III, who recently passed
away. “He was the real thing, a true cowboy,” she says.
Jacobson’s gift is directed to the exhibition, Cowboys:
Real and Imagined, opening April 13, and she plans to give
a number of objects related to her family’s ranching heritage
to the museum.
Jacobson says she is thrilled to support state museums
and historic sites through the Foundation. “The Foundation
provides support services and grants as a way of protecting
and preserving the heritage of the state,” she says. “I’m a
lifelong resident of New Mexico and I have a keen interest
in preserving it.”

Garcia Automotive Group
Passing New Mexico’s Art, Culture
and History to Future Generations
The Garcia family of Albuquerque — Sheilah and her sons Toby, Ed and Carlos — have a long
history in New Mexico that dates to the 17th century, when their ancestors established roots
in the state.
In 1967, Sheilah’s late husband, Julian, launched the family auto sales business when he
acquired his first Toyota franchise in Santa Fe. Today, the family’s Garcia Automotive Group
includes 13 foreign lines in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and El Paso, Texas, run by Sheilah, Toby
and Ed. Carlos manages the family’s Smart Car dealership.
Despite their enormous success in the automobile industry, the Garcias still find time to
support the Museum of New Mexico Foundation as a way to preserve New Mexico’s
cultural heritage.
“We believe that it is very important to pass along New Mexico’s art, culture and history
to the upcoming generations, whether or not they are native New Mexicans,” says Sheilah.
“It is easy to take our exceptional culture for granted. We all need to recognize that our lives
are spent in a very special place.”
Sheilah supports the Foundation in a variety of ways, including as a member of The Circles and
the Legacy Society. The Garcia Automotive Group also frequently lends its name as a sponsor
of various museum activities, from museum exhibition previews to lecture series
to other cultural and educational events.
In 2011, the business partnered with the Foundation to present the Los Poblanos Lecture
Series in Albuquerque to encourage others to support the Museum of New Mexico. And on
the occasion of the Foundation’s 50th anniversary in 2012, the company’s newest dealership,
Mercedes-Benz of Santa Fe, sponsored the Foundation’s Big Thank-You Founders Dinner.
“The Garcia Automotive Group believes not only in giving back to the state in which we do
business, but in being an active participant in such activities,” Sheilah says. “Writing a check
is not enough for us. We attend all of our sponsored events as well as many other events. It is
important for us to be there as part of the community. What great learning experiences!”

Ann Scheflen, Vice President,
Development
anns@museumfoundation.org
An Example
70-year-old Dan contributes $20,000 in 2013 to
set up a gift annuity. The Foundation will pay Dan
$1,020 per year for as long as he lives. In 2013,
Dan will lower his taxes with a charitable deduction of $6,938.60. For the next 15 years, $821 of
each annual payment is tax free.*
Benefits
• You receive an immediate income tax deduction
for a portion of your gift.
• You can postpone annuity payments until you
need them. In the meantime, the principal grows
tax-free and you will receive a higher rate.
• You have the satisfaction of making a gift now
that benefits both you and the Foundation later.
