The Branigan Cultural Center will hold this year’s annual All-City High Schools Senior Art Show, with an opening reception scheduled from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, March 7, 2025. There will be an awards ceremony starting at 5:30 p.m.

Senior art students from five Las Cruces high schools will be participating in this year’s show. The All-City High Schools Senior Art Show will be on view from March 7 through April 19, 2025.

More than 70 senior art students from Mayfield, Las Cruces, Organ Mountain, Centennial, and Alma d’Arte High Schools will offer viewers a wide range of 2-D and 3-D art, from ceramics to mixed media, paintings, drawings and digital artwork. This unique grouping of artwork shows the progress and development the students have made through their years in high school and demonstrates the creativity of these exciting emerging artists.

Artwork will be juried by three judges. Winners will be selected in three competing categories and one piece will be named Best of Show. Prizes are funded by the Foundation for Las Cruces Museums and the Potters Guild of Las Cruces.

The Branigan Cultural Center is located at 501 N. Main St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. There is no admission charge. The museum is accessible from Roadrunner Transit Route 1 Stop 1. For additional information, visit the website at https://www.lascruces.gov/museums or call (575) 541-2154 / TTY 711.
