Come and explore the artworks of two El Paso women artists from the early 20th century, Octavia “Tia” Magoffin Glasgow and Leola Warnock Freeman, at the International Museum of Art (IMOA)! This new exhibit seeks to compare paths these two El Paso women took to becoming portrait artists and the ways that they supported each other's artistic careers and personal lives, despite their different circumstances. One became an artist, making her living through her work, and the other became a teacher that produced successful artists.

This exhibit is hosted by the Magoffin Home at the International Museum of Art at 1211 Montana Ave., El Paso, TX 79902. We are joined in this collaboration by the County of El Paso and the Casa Magoffin Compañeros. Thank you to those who have lent their time and expertise to this effort, especially Joseph Longo, Dr. Jennifer Moxley, Sharon Cowell, Cindy Harrington, and the staff of the IMOA.

Mark your calendars for the upcoming exhibit opening on December 6 at the International Museum of Art. Also opening that day will be an exhibit on early El Paso women artists.

Please join the International Museum of Art and the Magoffin Home in celebrating the legacy of two early El Paso women, Octavia “Tia” Magoffin Glasgow and Leola Warnock Freeman in A Tale of Two Artists. Visit the International Museum of Art beginning Saturday, December 6, 2025 to view this new exhibit that explores the lives of these two women, as artists and as life-long friends.

All are welcome to the Opening Reception on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 2 pm - 4 pm to view the exhibit and participate in an activity led by the Magoffin Home. Magoffin Home Exhibit Curator Machelle Wood shared, "This exhibit is my own examination of the paths to becoming an artist that were available to women in the early to mid-19th century. After reading Leola Freeman's biography, I was struck by her envy of Octavia "Tia" Magoffin Glasgow's financially supported path of studying painting in Europe and her degree in education. Yet, Leola ended up being more recognized and lucrative. I hope it makes all artists question the path they have been told to take rather than the one that they want to take."

The International Museum of Art will also be sharing their newest pop-up gallery, Woman As Artist, which highlights the lives of other early women artists of El Paso. IMoA Director, Emily Leedom, states that “there is such a rich legacy of women artists in the greater El Paso region, and it is an honor to share their stories with our community. I think we can all relate to the artistic journeys that these women embarked on. We are grateful for our partnership with the Magoffin Home to help illuminate their lives.”

The International Museum of Art is dedicated to making art accessible to all, offering free admission, exhibitions of local artists, and a rich collection of regional and international artifacts. Thanks to the generous support of our members and donors, we continue to foster cultural understanding and promote the visual arts in El Paso.
