The show is being sponsored by Black Range Artists, Incorporated, an established group of artists in southern New Mexico and west Texas with over fifty years of representing area artists.
The show, set for October 11th and 12th, will be a juried event of original art and fine handcrafts designed and produced by artists and craftsmen working in a variety of media. The show will be held in the Mimbres Valley Learning and Special Events Center.
Organizers say the event is designed to promote a sense of community, provide a two-day gathering of artists, and support our country’s wounded warriors who have sacrificed so much.
Joining the Black Range Artists for the October event will be the Plein Air painters from Albuquerque, Tucson, Las Cruces and this area. Plein Air (French for “open air”) painters, are known for painting outdoors on location, and will be painting various locations in and around Deming during the event.
