February 2015 Event Guide 1 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.
