(Deming) – The Deming Arts Center is looking for artists interested in participating in an artists’ studio tour next month. The tour will be September 30th and October 1st. Interested artists need to submit an application no later than August 30th so the tour can be advertised and a brochure created for people taking the tour. Artists do not have to be members of the Deming Arts Council to participate. Also, artists do not have to participate both days, but must indicate that on their application. And artists who do not have a studio can partner with artists who are participating in the studio tour. Artists interested in participating should submit $25 along with biographical information and a couple of jpeg pictures to be used in the brochure. Organizers will be distributing the brochures throughout the area prior to the tour. Applications are available at the Deming Arts Center, 100 S. Gold in Deming.

Organizers say the first academy will be a leadership training Wednesday, Sept. 13th, followed by training on accessing capital Sept. 27th, and starting a business Oct. 11th. Luna County Community Projects Director Jessica Etcheverry said they had so much success with their first series of classes, they had people asking them, “When’s the next Hump Day?” The series takes its name from the popular commercial featuring a camel in an office celebrating Wednesday. The Hump Day Academy training series is a collaboration with WESST, Luna County, Deming-Luna County Chamber of Commerce, Deming-Luna County Economic Development, Western New Mexico University and the Small Business Development Center. The classes are open to the public and no registration is required. For more information, call 543-6643. Recent Donations Help Humane Society (Deming) – The Deming-Luna County Humane Society has received several donations recently to aid in its mission. The organization purchased a new animal control unit to outfit a truck officers had been using with an old-style cage in the bed. The purchase was made possible by a $5,000 donation from Depcom, which supported several community organizations during the opening of its solar farm off Hwy 26. Cancer Support of Deming and Luna County also donated a van to the Humane Society for animal transport. And the Deming Headlight’s Pet Page, which is published on Fridays and features dogs and cats available for adoption at the shelter, continues to be supported through donations. The Humane Society operates the Deming Animal Shelter with funding from the city of Deming, village of Columbus, and Luna County, but officials say donations are critical to address problems arising from pet breeding, over-population and irresponsible pet owners. In addition to money, donations of blankets, towels and laundry detergent are needed. Call 546-2024 for more information.
