Join us Friday, November 1, 2019, through Saturday, January 4, 2020 for Desert Triangle: Print Carpeta, an exhibit that features artists from Tucson, Albuquerque, and El Paso. Sixteen Las Cruces-based artists will be featured as an extension of Desert Triangle: Print Carpeta in an exhibit addition titled Impress 2 Express.

Desert Triangle: Print Carpeta is a Southwestern print project initiated by artist Karrl (Karl Whitaker) who commissioned his colleagues to create an exhibit featuring printmakers from the “desert triangle” (Tucson, Albuquerque, and the El Paso region). Impress 2 Express highlights local printmakers from Las Cruces.

Desert Triangle: Print Carpeta and Impress 2 Express showcase colorful and thought-provoking images that demonstrate the array of styles in the area.

The museum is located at 501 N. Main Street (RoadRUNNER Transit bus route 1, stop 36) and is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 4:30pm, and Saturday from 9am to 4:30pm. For additional information, visit the website at: museums.las-cruces.org or call (575) 541-2137.

The Southwest Environmental Center is excited to announce multiple volunteer opportunities at our La Mancha Wetland Project this fall. La Mancha is located on approximately six acres of land adjacent to the Rio Grande near the Town of Mesilla. The project aims to create a habitat and nursery for native fish, native and migratory birds, and create plenty of habitat for mammals as well as amphibians and reptiles to thrive. This area is now a wildlife sanctuary, and provides the public to view wildlife in their natural habitat.

SWEC is hosting a series of volunteers days this fall to continue cleaning up and maintaining the La Mancha Wetland. Volunteers are needed to remove weeds, perform trail maintenance, trim trees and cattails, install tree fencing, and clear pond debris. We will meet at the site on the following Saturday mornings, 8am-12pm:
