All are invited to attend a free Artists Reception at Macey Center Gallery Friday, March 28, from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by the Ukrainian music ensemble Yagody performance (tickets sold separately on nmt.edu/pas). Artists are welcome to invite their friends and family members to join the public in meeting the artists and learning more about their artwork. Appetizer and drink specials (cash bar) will be available at the reception.

Textiles, paintings, drawings, photography and more will be on display during March for a month-long art show featuring the talents of Socorro County women artists. The fourth-annual showcase, sponsored by the New Mexico Tech Performing Arts Series, will be held on the second floor of Macey Center every day of March during the facility’s operating hours in honor of Women's History month.

Women of Socorro County have been invited to exhibit up to two pieces of art during the show, which is open to all mediums, including textiles, oil paintings, jewelry, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, photography and pottery. Participation in the exhibit is free.

According to Dana Chavez, NMTPAS director, the showcase provides a venue for Socorro women artists to display their talents.

“Every year we are astonished by the outstanding creativity of women from our area,” she said. “From watercolors and oil paintings to photography and sculptures, it’s so enjoyable to take in the exhibit and learn more about the artists and the inspiration for their creations. I encourage Socorro County women to participate in this free event to showcase their talents and for all area residents to stop by Macey Center during the month of March to view the exhibit.”
