georgia okeeffe new mexico desert protected zone

A conservation plan is underway to protect 26 square kilometers of New Mexico desert near Abiquiu that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic paintings. The land, owned by a charitable arm of the Presbyterian Church, is being safeguarded through a partnership with the New Mexico Land Conservancy and the state government, with a $920,000 award from a state conservation trust. The protected area includes sandstone bluffs, grasslands, and views of Cerro Pedernal, while preserving access for film productions and ranchers.

Century-old art studio in need of urgent repairs

The Charleston Trust has launched a £250,000 fundraising campaign called Studio 100 to urgently repair a century-old studio at Charleston in Firle, East Sussex. The studio, originally built in a chicken shed in 1925 by artists Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, and Roger Fry, was intended as a temporary space but has become a globally significant site. The total project cost is about £470,000, with support already secured from Arts Council England. Repairs will focus on the roof, windows, doors, and fragile painted surfaces, along with installing climate control systems, scheduled from November 2026 to April 2027.

Curator Chloe Alexander and artists Maurice Evans, Grace Kisa, and Jamaal Barber describe the loss of unique, irreplaceable prints due to soot, smoke, and water damage, with many pieces on paper rendered unsalvageable despite appearing intact.
