3 Bask in the beauty of Chama.

There’s an abundance of creativity on display in Chama during the 16th annual Chama Valley Arts Festival & Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The two-part event brings artists, food trucks, and live musical performances together in Triangle Park, while galleries and studios are open to visitors throughout the Chama area. “We have almost 30 artists at Triangle Park working in practically every medium you can imagine,” says Anita Massari, executive director of Chama Valley Arts. Plus: award-winning singer-songwriter Lara Manzanares performs bilingual New Mexican music at 2 p.m. Saturday at Triangle Park.

“Every studio tour in New Mexico is so special because of the landscape,” says Massari. “We are at 8,000 feet in a lush mountain valley. The temperatures are cool, there is wildlife all around. You can see deer and eagles. Every route you take here is magnificent.”

A woman-led and women-focused event, She Rises music festival brings an impressive lineup of female musicians from around the world to perform at Kit Carson Park for the first time this weekend. “We are over the moon that it’s taken off like it has,” says Andrea Magee, an Austin-based musician from Ireland and founder of the festival. “We really want to uplift women.”

The festival hosts an impressive lineup, including Grammy-nominated KT Tunstall (who performs Friday at the VIP opening party), folk-pop singer-songwriter Allison Russell, three-time Grammy winner Shawn Colvin, and the Chicana sister trio the Tiarras. “Having an eclectic mix of heritage was important to me,” Magee says. “I wanted it to be vibrant. All of these artists have an element of their roots in their music. They truly have something to say.”

The festival offers a full bar, yoga, a self-defense workshop, and a dance party under the moon.
