Celebrate joy and happiness during The International Museum of Art’s 3rd annual Member Showcase.
As “The People’s Museum,” we are supported by our donors, community partners, and members like you. We began hosting our Member Showcase to highlight the creativity and talents of our supporters. This year’s show is titled Joy Abounds and is about celebrating the joy that we have in our lives and community.
We want to showcase the people, places, and moments that bring us happiness. Artists were asked to submit work that exemplifies their definition of joy or explore what happiness means to them. Joy Abounds will be on view from July 26 through August 31, 2025. All are welcome to the opening reception on Saturday, July 26 from 2:00-4:00 pm.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!
Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Most locations are available daylight hours every day.
Drawing from the NMSU Art Museum’s extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.
The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026. The museum is open Tues-Sat from 10 AM - 4 PM.

We are inviting the public to join us in a protest march and rally on Saturday August 30th to express our concern with and opposition to the economic and social consequences of the Trump administration's budget cuts. Join us to oppose the Trump agenda that means more economic misery for the poor and the middle class, cuts to public radio, Medicaid cuts, dismantling of Dept. of Education, higher deficits, deportations of hard-working immigrants, tariffs resulting in higher prices for basic necessities, and tax breaks for billionaires.
The protest march will start at 6:00 p.m. at the corner of Bassett and Poplar and proceed through the heart of historic El Paso Black Wall Street down Alameda to Copia and terminate with a rally at Mary Webb Park, 3401 E Missouri Ave, where participants will listen to speakers and hear musicians and folk singers.
