Call for artists for Las Cruces CVB visitor center displays

Due to recent renovations to the Las Cruces Convention & Visitors Bureau's (CVB) visitor center lobby, the bureau has made some changes to its monthly featured artist policy. As of February 11, 2008, all artists interested in exhibiting their work at the CVB will be required to abide by the following guidelines:

All submitted work must be of professional gallery quality and will be subject to review by a selection committee comprised of CVB and the City of Las Cruces Museum staff.

Three Digital or printed samples of artist work must be made available to the committee for review by submission deadline. Deadlines are as follows:

  • Artwork to be on display April thru September 2008 must be submitted by March 14, 2008.
  • Artwork to be on display October 2008 thru March 2009 must be submitted for review by September 1, 2008

All works must meet the space requirements for canvas art and space and weight requirements for 3dimensional works. Canvas art can be no larger than 24 inches wide or 45 inches tall. 3dimensional art can be no larger than 22 inches tall x 65 inches wide x 22 inches deep. Total weight of 3dimensional art, including all display materials, must be no more than 35 lbs.

Artists are only eligible to display once a year for a one month period and will receive use of four easels for display.

Placement is not guaranteed, decision of committee is final.
