The Ol Mel Patch Art Space is the future home of Espanolas community art space for visual and performing arts. The building will house a gallery, performance space, and workshops for classes.
On February 20, 2010, the Mel Patch Arts Space had its first rip up the floor party. By the time Horse Tail Trails reporters got there at 11:00am, gaping holes had already been cut in the rotting floor, revealing the crawl-space below. The first wave of volunteers for the day included Randy Perraglio, Rosalia Triana, Elijah Mares, and Eric and Becky Archuleta, along with their children, Chloe and Eli.
Becky Archuleta would celebrate each time she found something possibly worth salvaging. A table in the dance hall was piled up with old chip displays, pickle jars, photographs, and various other odds and ends found amid the rubble. Pieces of the history of the building, all of which will likely be put to use in its future.
Dino Martinez owns the Lovin Oven doughnut shop next door. He generously provided pastries for the volunteers and even came in to see the progress for himself in the middle of the day. To the surprise of everyone, Martinez found a machete hidden among the trash that was piled in the old beer cooler. It certainly wasnt the secret stash of money everyone had been joking about finding, but it was possibly the oddest find of the day.
