ArtForms's mission is to ensure that our art community is regarded as a revenue-generating industry. For twenty-five years, we have worked towards recognizing the greater Las Cruces area as an international art and cultural destination contributing to the creative economy.
​
ArtForms has more than 100 members, including artists, art enthusiasts, business owners, students, and teachers. Our diversity makes us a valuable resource of experience, skills, and information. Every February, members organize and promote For the Love of Art Month, a unique celebration that spans the entire month. During February 2024, there were thirty-nine studio tours, a member show, and special activities hosted by Las Cruces galleries. ArtForms continues to work to expand February events and schedule other activities throughout the year. Tour information is published annually by January 1 at artformsnm.org.
