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.

Celebrating the Communities that Built El Paso!
Celebrate the holiday season with a sweet adventure into the past! Young chefs are invited to roll up their sleeves and bake/decorate their very own Christmas sugar cookies while learning about the history behind this tasty tradition. Did you know? Christmas sugar cookies have roots in 17th-century Pennsylvania, where German settlers, also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, brought cookie-cutting traditions to America. These early cookies were often shaped like stars, animals, and bells, and were used as decorations as well as treats! Don’t be a humbug and miss this dish around the holidays!
The cost is $10 per child. All ingredients are provided. Please call (915) 533-5147 to register in advance as space is limited.
This event is part of a greater celebration, Our America, Our Texas, Our El Paso, an America250 food history series presented by the Magoffin Home State Historic Site.
