The public is invited to attend the Second Sunday Forum at the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos, starting at 12 p.m., Sunday, Oct.12, at 1738 North Sage Street.

Since 2008, Roger Montoya has co-led Moving Arts Española. Additionally, he has been actively involved in founding six other nonprofit groups in the Española Valley. Roger is a past member of the New Mexico State House of Representatives. He was named a CNN Hero for his visionary work at Española Moving Arts. 

Regarding this Forum, Roger says: “I will present an overview of the genesis of Moving Arts, and how and why our ethos Art as Medicine came to guide and drive our mission of service. The current breadth of programming for ages three though young adult will round out the introduction. The role of creativity and expression in the development of the whole human is at the center of programming – and how the discovery of one’s passion and purpose can help young people to claim their futures through higher education and career readiness. Mentorship fuels a lasting sense of contribution back to community.”

The Second Sunday Forum program endeavors to educate the public about issues that affect the community and to provide opportunities for exploration.
