Artistas de la Fronterizas – Artists of the Borderland  

October 6–December 16, 2023

Artistas de la Fronterizas- Borderland Contemporary Artists features a diverse group of sixteen contemporary artists from local Borderland communities, including Las Cruces, El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The participating artists initially were selected from a 2021 call for art by the Las Cruces Museum of Art that was presented virtually over a period of 13 months on the Las Cruces Museums social media platforms. In this exhibit, the artists showcase their artwork-most of which are new creations-in the physical space of the museum’s gallery.   

This exhibit specifically highlights works from minoritized communities, which in this case are artists with Hispanic and Latino origins. The Museum of Art chose to focus on upcoming and prominent Hispanic and Latino artists to celebrate and recognize their importance to the Borderland art world and its culture.
