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.

Las Cruces artist Mary Beagle is the featured artist for September and October at the Tombaugh Gallery. The opening reception is First Friday, September 5, 5 to 7pm featuring live music by Yolanda Martinez and Karuna Warren. Mary works with oil on canvas and her paintings reflect her love of native and Latino cultures and celebrations. Mary and her husband, David, have travelled to Native American gatherings throughout the country. Working as a team, Mary paints all her work and David does all her custom framing. The exhibit includes several sculptures made by Mary in Limestone, Alabaster and Marble.

All entries in the 'Creatures" show represent, or are inspired by, creatures (mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and insects) who live in the Gila River watershed. A description of the actual creature on which the work is based will be displayed along with the piece, so this show is perfect for those who love art AND for those who want to know more about Gila wildlife.

The show runs for two weekends, Aug 30-Sep 1 & Sep 5-7 (10am-5pm). The opening reception is Aug 29. A second reception will be held during September's First Friday Sep 5, 5-7pm.
