At Accents West we are most proud of the quality of our weavings and the artistic ability of our weavers.  When we were asked to participate in a special exhibit for the Las Cruces, New Mexico Museum of Fine Arts and Culture, it was a validation of our many years of hard work in the textile business. Joy Miller the director had become acquainted with our weavings and weavers when she discovered us at the Santa Fe Flea Market. She was in the process of putting together an exhibit at The Brannigan Center within the museum complex involving the photography work of a world acclaimed  National Geographic photographer. The display was to focus on Oaxacan culture and lifestyle, and was entitled "A Celebration of Oaxaca".   We we were both honored and thrilled when asked to participate in the exhibit not only for ourselves but the fine weavers we represent.
Pictured above is  an overview of " A Celebration of Oaxaca" exhibit. Our weavings are hung intermittently throughout the display.
Here are some traditional native designs and weaving styles.
The dislplay encompassed the true heart and soul of the Oaxacan people.
In the distance is a "favorite" of the exhibit, a landscape by Josefina Jimenez.
