Call for Artists October 16, 2008

The Las Cruces Museum of Art is currently accepting proposals for solo and group exhibitions by artists living and working in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas to exhibit work in 2010. The prospectus is available online at the Museum of Art website http://museums.las-cruces.org and includes more information on proposal requirements. The deadline for submissions is June 19, 2009.

Artist proposals must include a brief statement on the proposed exhibit including mediums, general content of the show, and proposed use of floor space. The proposal package should also include artist resume, artist statement, and 10-20 thumbnail images of works for each of the artists included in the proposal.

Prominent members of the New Mexico artist community have been selected as the jurors including Cyndi Conn the Visual Arts Director/Curator of the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, Arif Khan the Gallery Director of the Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, and Preston Thayer the Director of the University Art Gallery at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. This is a wonderful opportunity for regional artists to show their highest quality work and receive museum level exposure. Past exhibitions have included installations, sculpture, large scale drawings, and a variety of other media.
