2025 Las Cruces Space Festival Art Show
This year, the art show will be juried and featured at Gallery 925 from September 5 to 28, 2025. The annual Las Cruces Space Festival art show promises to feature something for everyone, from photography to whimsical-themed depictions of The Nature of Space.

The show will feature 28 artists' works that range from astrophotography to figurative paintings and representations of space phenomena. Artists participating: Diane Alire, Zac Bannister, Chris Bardey, Sherand Bennett-Nickloff, Tiffany Bristol, Beth Carillo, Karen Conley, Jason Dupont, Nicole Garcia, Colleen Gino, Kay Gross, Tiffany Del Guidice, Don Hallock, Chas Miller, Vickie Morrow, Heather Murphy,Cora Richardson, Rebecca Rousseau, Jim Rodgers, Noel Sandino, Penny Scribner, Jo-An Smith, Laura Snapp, Jemma Tremillo, Alyssa Trujillo, Sara Walsh, and Mark Woody.

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.
