Last weekend almost 500 people attended Art-Up Northern New Mexico’s 35th Annual ArtsFest. It was held once again at the Angel Fire Community Center, so that more artists could be added to the venue. Thirty-two talented high-quality artist displayed and sold their works of art. ArtsFest is just one of the many programs sponsored by Art Up Northern New Mexico (formerly the Moreno Valley Arts Council). We are responsible for bringing Missoula Children’s Theatre every summer and we coordinate and sponsor art programs and workshops in the area schools. We are the sponsor of the Artistic Vistas and Treasures Art Trail that runs from Raton into the Taos Canyon, through Angel Fire and out to Black Lake. Many of our local artists do not have store fronts, but sell out of their homes. The Trail gives them added advertising to help drive traffic into their studios and galleries.

Art Up Northern New Mexico is a not for profit 501c(3) membership organization consisting of artists and patrons of the arts. We are committed to promoting artists and artisans, who enrich the area with their diverse talents and skills. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and depend upon multiple volunteers throughout the year to make our programs and events successful. We are financially supported by grants, membership dues, ticket/booth and show fees and donations. These funds provide for promotions, programs, and operational expenses. Volunteer help and donations are always needed and appreciated. Art Up Northern New Mexico wants everyone to be able to express themselves through art. We strive to challenge artists to explore their creativity and stretch their skills and exposure!

What’s Up with Art Up? There are a few fun new items on the horizon for Art Up Northern New Mexico. A fifteen member volunteer Board of Directors has been seated. Each of these directors represent a different genre of art. The scope includes visual art, dance, performing art, written art, fabric art, culinary art, musical art, photography, and patrons of the arts. These people are working tirelessly behind the scenes on some new projects. The first is, trying to bring a Studio Tour to the area, hopefully in the fall when the leaves are changing. And we are going to have Pop-up venues for artist workshops and retail sales in the fall and winter months. But the largest project we are working on is to bring an Art Center to Angel Fire. This Art Center will encompass all of the arts. We have big goals and believe (and invite) the community to get behind these goals to bring this vision to fruition. A Building Committee has been working on this project, with a fund-raising/ building consultant for about a year. We are almost ready to role out our plans to the public. Be looking for the date! We will have a big gala as a kickoff to explain our future plans and continue our fundraising efforts. We hope that you will be as excited as we are! Angel Fire needs a home for the Arts and we are working to make it happen….SOON!
