“Mixed Media Assemblage Art & Photography” is the title of the January, 2026, Exhibit at Deming Art Center. It will feature the artwork of Vickie Voiers Morrow and Diane Alire. Vickie is a former Deming resident who specializes in assemblage art, bringing pieces that will be reminiscent of her life in Deming and also her Guardian Angel pieces among other things. Diane Alire, a photographer and print maker, has lived in New Mexico since 2001 and has her own Gallery, Gallery 925, in Las Cruces. She has a Masters in Photography and has taught Photography and Print Making in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Diane is attracted to the more gritty subjects for her photography – juxtaposing images in a way to provoke and leave interpretation to the viewer. Her latest works are black and white photographs which are then hand colored with transparent oils, pan pastels and colored pencils.

The exhibit will be on display from January 3-30, 2026. There will be a time to meet the artists on Sunday, January 4, from 1-2:30PM.

The Deming Art Center is located at 100 S. Gold, Deming NM, and is open from 10AM-4PM Monday – Friday and 10AM – 1PM on Saturday.

Drawing from the University Art Museum's extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.

The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026.
