FOR THE LOVE OF ART 2015
A Joyous Celebration of the Visual and Performing Arts
in Southern New Mexico
Welcome!
We are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to experience the
talent, excitement, and fun of the arts of Southern New Mexico.
This guide will lead you to visual and performing arts experiences
showcasing the incredible talent of artists in Las Cruces, Mesilla,
and Southern New Mexico.
Join us for the opening of the For the Love of Art Month at the
receptions for the 18th annual ArtForms Members Exhibit on Friday,
February 6 from 5–7pm during the ever exciting monthly Art Ramble.
Yes, we said reception(s) because this year the Members Exhibit
will be spreading the creativity around to three locations: Mas Art,
Main Street Bistro, and the El Paso Electric Gallery inside the lobby
of the Rio Grande Theatre—all conveniently located downtown.
During the entire month, enjoy the musical talent, poetry, and
visual arts at special events and don't miss the chance to take
a peek behind the scenes of artistry during the Artist Studio
Tours on the weekends of February 14 & 15 and February 21 &
22. Look for the Blue Flags at each studio.
We want to thank the many organizations—including the Sun
News, the Bulletin, and The Ink—and individuals who have
helped to make this event possible, including the ArtForms
volunteers, and, most significantly, the artists.
Enjoy.
