Daniel McCoy's Painting titled "Evening Moon with Sunset Clouds."

The Quality of Life Department and the City Art Board invite the community to an open house to view new art installations at City Hall.

The open house will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, in the lobby of City Hall, 700 N. Main St. Light refreshments will be served.

Art by various artists will be highlighted including “Evening with Sunset Clouds” by Frank Watson, “Hollyhocks” by Vera Neel, “Worry” by Zoe Zimmerman, “Protected” Shana Levenson and “Desert Forms” by Thomas Tomlinson.

The purchase of these works was made possible by the New Mexico Arts’ Art In Public Places program. Funds are appropriated from state-funded capital projects in Las Cruces that are mandated to allocate one percent of eligible project funding to be expended for the acquisition of art and are managed by NM Arts.

For more information or questions contact Ceci Vasconcellos, Public Art Coordinator, at (575) 541-2780 or TTY 711. Vasconcellos can also be contacted by email at [email protected].
