Voni Glaves and Ardys Kellerman became the first two women in North America to document riding one million miles on BMW motorcycles.

They reached this milestone at Red Mountain Overlook between Ouray and Silverton, Colorado the morning of August 30, 2011. |

sent to BMW Motorrad U.S.A. and to the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America,
each of which provides mileage awards at 100,000 mile intervals.

Kellerman has owned 16 BMWs including a 1999 R1100RT with 170,000 miles.

Marfa, Texas has been growing its reputation as an art center for several decades. There are several foundations in Marfa such as Ballroom Marfa, Chinati Foundation, International Women's Foundation, Judd Foundation and even more art galleries including Arber & Son Editions, Ayn Founation, Baxter Gallery, Etherington Fine Art, exhibitions 2d, Galleri Urbane, Greasewood Gallery in the Paisano Hotel, Inde/jacobs gallery, LeAna Clifton Photography, Mimi Litschauer, Marfa Studio of Arts, and Second Floor.
But now there is a project to extend Marfa into the Austin art scene as "Marfita." This proposed "Little Marfa" will be installed at the Co-Lab art space in Austin, TX in October 2011.

Florentino "Tino" Franco, who was born and raised in Terlingua has a grandson, Josh Franco, who grew up in Odessa, Texas but currently teaches Chicano Art at Binghamton University in Binghamton, NY where he completed an MA in Philosophy, Interpretation, and Culture and is currently working on a PhD in Art History with a focus on art by Chicana/os at
the same place. Josh has a project that caught our attention.
Marfa has developed a reputation for itself over the last several decades as a center of art that has to be taken seriously as a "destination." Josh has conceived a project to bring yet another perspective to this art scene. Josh and his friends Alison Kuo and Joshua Saunders have a project called "Marfita" that will install at Co-Lab artspace in Austin, TX on October 2011 an artistic representation of the artistic landscape of Marfa. They are in the process of raising funds to have this project
realized. We recommend that you watch their video below (rated X) and
visit their fundraising website.
You may make your pledge at the Kickstart fundraising website. This project will only be funded if at least $5,000 is pledged by Thursday Apr 7, 4:53pm EDT. If you pledge and their goal is not reached, you will not be charged for your pledge. Familias de Terlingua is proud to say we have contributed. |
