Art, Tourism and Place with Lucy Lippard
Ever wondered how your environment affects your art? We are affected by the place that we choose to live and work in and no one knows that better than Lucy Lippard. Who is she? Only one of the foremost art critics in the United States, and she will be in Sedona to give a slide show and lecture about "Art, Tourism, and Place" on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 pm, April 6 at the Sedona Creative life Center. You won't want to miss her; she is the kind of speaker that changes your concept of art. "In New York's art circles and on hundreds of Web sites, Lucy Lippard is regarded as a popular art critic, theorist, author and political activist, but she prefers to be regarded as a "cultural critic."
Ms. Lippard is an internationally known writer, activist and art curator from the United States. Lippard was among the first writers to recognize the de-materialization at work in conceptual art. She is the author of eighteen books on contemporary art, and has written art criticism for Art in America, The Village Voice, In These Times, and Z Magazine, place and has received numerous awards and accolades from literary critics and art associations.
If you are open to seeing the bigger picture about art and community, don't miss this speaker!

NATJA Needs Prizes for 2008 Annual Writing Awards
Now that the 50 winners of last year's NATJA travel journalism awards have received their prizes, the search is on for 2008 donations. A plethora of free publicity will be the reward for hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, and rail tour companies that supply non-cash prizes for the 2008 awards competition.That publicity will include prominent mention in NATJA print, broadcast, and internet outlets as well as the publications, broadcast venues, and/or hometown newspapers of winners. The competition, open to all travel writers, authors, and broadcasters worldwide, produced more than 1,000 entries over the last two years.
Although grand prizes have considerably greater value, most first prizes are space-available; three-night stays for two people sharing luxury accommodations, valid only during the following calendar year (Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2009). Gift certificates marked "valid one year from date of issue" cannot be accepted unless the date of issue is listed as Dec. 31, 2008.That is because winners will not receive prizes and accompanying certificates of excellence until the end of this year, after judges tally the Top 10 prize preferences of first-prize winners.
Potential sponsors are invited to submit a Gift Certificate, email, or letter detailing their prize so that it may be announced in the summer issue of The Wayfarer (or sooner online). That issue will also contain the official application form for journalists. Entries are accepted from July 1-October 1.
Prize donors should send confirming emails by May 1(followed by gift certificates detailing the prize) to Dan Schlossberg, NATJA Awards, 10 Ballard Place, Fair Lawn, NJ 07410-3601 (Fax 201- 791-3349, email dan@natja.org ).
