Tariana Navas-Nieves, Curator, Hispanic and Native American Art, narrates.

  2. The team at the FAC is amazing. It really takes a group that knows how to work together to pull something like this off. Great work!

  4. What a great description of what it takes to pull of a large-scale art exhibit! As a curatorial assistant myself, I was totally geeking out on the “how they did that” aspect. Of course, they get to do this all over again when they ship the works back! Thanks for sharing, the voice over is really nice.

  8. Bravo FAC! This is a fabulous show and this “Big Something” gives us an insider view at all of the hard work that went into installing it!

  9. If you have not yet been introduced to the amazing artwork of Jimmy “Rocketman” Descant, I think visiting with him at his new work installed at Salida’s SteamPlant Theater sculpture garden should be a must for your upcoming tour. He’s an original.You could record the sounds of him “creating” and he’d give a very colorful interview. See what I’m talking about here.
