2012 Las Cruces Arts Fair
March 16 -18, 2012 in the Las Cruces Convention Center
In its 2nd year, the Las Cruces Arts Fair is the newest juried fine arts and crafts event in the Southwest. The 2012 Arts Fair will be held in the Las Cruces Convention Center, a venue that maximizes space for artists and artisans to show their work to an enthusiastic public. The inaugural Arts Fair was a huge success for participating artists and the art aficionados from New Mexico, Texas and the Southwestern borderland.
The Arts Fair is a juried event for artists producing original work in acrylics, pastels, pencil, pen and ink, oils, watercolors, fabric, leather, weaving, glass, jewelry, metals, mix media, photography, porcelain, pottery, sculpture, and wood. Mass-produced or factory-produced work in any category is not permitted.
The 2012 Las Cruces Arts Fair begins on Friday evening, March 16, 2012, with a ticketed VIP preview. Artists and artisans will have the opportunity 
to connect with collectors and aficionados. The show opens to the general public on Saturday morning, March 17, and will run through Sunday evening, March 18.
