EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso’s longest-running juried art show will be back for another year for a weekend in November full of art, creativity and community.
The Las Artistas Fine Arts and Craft Show will be held Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 15-16 at the Epic Railyard Event Center, 2201 E. Mills Ave.
The show, now in its 55th year, will add a new twist — mimosas served alongside masterpieces.
When the show opens its doors on Saturday, Nov. 15, art lovers can now elevate their experience with the new Mimosas and Masterpieces VIP Experience, presented by Rejuvené MD. The VIP event gives guests early access to the show, an exclusive opportunity to meet the artists before the crowds, and a complimentary glass of bubbly to enjoy while browsing.
Guests who purchase the $40 VIP experience will be welcomed into the show two hours early, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday. They’ll receive complimentary mimosas, first dibs on one-of-a-kind works and the artists who crafted them, and an official Las Artistas tote bag filled with gifts.
“This is a new to experience this one-of-a-kind event,” Las Artistas President Laura Lupia said. “For our serious shoppers who want to get an early look and secure their favorite piece, this VIP event will give you that opportunity – along with a few surprises and complimentary mimosas.”
Presented by the City of El Paso’s Museum and Cultural Affairs Department, the Las Artistas Fine Arts and Crafts Show remains the region’s premier showcase for fine art and crafts, organizers said in a news release.
The event will feature more than 100 artists exhibiting and selling original works in painting, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, glass, sculpture, and photography.
This year’s show will also feature a gallery of student work produced during the Las Artistas Summer Camp collaboration with First Presbyterian School.
