Pamela & Don Michaelis: Arts

More than 20 years ago, Pamela and Don founded The Collectors Guide, a showcase for the visual arts of Northern New Mexico. Producing the Guide brought them into the studios of Albuquerque’s most fascinating painters, sculptors, jewelers and weavers. Over the years they have accumulated a vast collection of art that spans genres, mediums and styles. Pamela and Don frequently volunteer their expertise with arts organizations, sharing the knowledge that they have gleaned over decades in the industry. In addition, Pamela and Don know Albuquerque’s museum directors and gallery owners, what they specialize in and where to find the best of every genre.
