For several years now the town of Carrizozo has been struggling to establish a reputation as a quality destination for artists, artisans, and art lovers around the state. We're pleased to say they've made dramatic progress in that direction over the past year since the opening of Gallery 408 and its artist studios which are aptly-named Studios on 12th street. Suddenly Carrizozo has started to appear on every art lover's travel agenda as a place where great things are happening in New Mexico's arts community.
The truth is Gallery 408's owners Warren and Joan Malkerson along with their gallery manager Louise Goethe and others have been pouring their hearts and souls into strengthening, supporting and expanding one of the states fastest growing arts enclaves. Gallery 408 comes complete with a unique and beautiful Sculpture Garden filled with beautiful metal sculptures and a contemporary art gallery that specializes in featuring the works of local artists and others from throughout Lincoln County.
To those enviable assets, you can also add monthly concerts in the Sculpture Garden and their 19th century restored building filled with contemporary art. Plus they also offer an Artist in Residence program and they are in the process of restoring a huge warehouse building nearby where they plan to feature even more art. Like we said, lots of great things are happening in Carrizozo and Gallery 408 plays a big part in that.
So, if you're planning a trip that takes you anywhere near Carrizozo, New Mexico or even if you're just out for a Sunday drive and don't have a particular destination in mind, Gallery 408 should definitely be on your "go see" list. Also, if you happen to have an opening in your calendar on any of the event dates listed below, then we know just the fun place to suggest you visit. Gallery 408 is that place! We promise you'll enjoy your visit.
Gallery 408's ad appears below and provides full details about where they're located and what days the Gallery is open. For more details about the gallery itself, and to enjoy images of their featured art and artists, we recommend a visit to their nicely-done web site at www.Gallery408.com (http://www.gallery408.com/) or call 505-648-2598.
Please remember to tell them you heard about them in Steppin' Out.
