Las Cruces, NM – In conjunction with the exhibit INK: Tattoos as Personal Expression now on display at Branigan Cultural Center, Alex Trujillo will present “Tattoos from an Artist’s Perspective” on Friday, December 5th at 6:00 p.m. The program takes place during the City’s Winterfest celebration and the 1st Friday Ramble.
Trujillo, a local tattoo artist, will speak about tattoos from the artist’s perspective. He has been tattooing for over five years and is an undergraduate student at NMSU. Following his 30 minute presentation, Trujillo will be on hand for a question and answer session.
Cheryl Fallstead, President of the Foundation for Las Cruces Museums, recently wrote, “INK: Tattoos as Personal Expression, explores tattoos, equipment and the culture from around the world and across time.” The exhibit also includes a recreated tattoo parlor, allowing the visitor to see what a contemporary shop looks like. The exhibit will remain open through January 24, 2009.
The Branigan Cultural Center, 501 N. Main Street, is located at the north end of the downtown mall in Las Cruces. The exhibit and program is free and open to the public.
