Ruidoso Calendar — RUIDOSO ARTS FESTIVAL

Ruidoso Art Festival

Ruidoso is home to some world class artists and galleries as well as the now famous summer art festival in held every July for nearly 40 years. The Show is the granddaddy of Art Festivals in the Southwest and features approximately 120 juried artists from a dozen states displaying paintings, drawings, photography, glass, porcelain, metalwork, woodwork, jewelry, batik, pottery, weaving, fabric, leather work and sculpture.

Set in the spacious Ruidoso Convention Center every inch is filled with beautiful craftsmanship and unparalleled artistry. These artists travel from all over the U.S. to join with other gifted artisans in showing and selling their pieces and this dynamic really works here. Combine the beautiful Ruidoso setting with the magic made by this gathering of some of the countries most creative individual’s energies and you achieve something worth experiencing. A silent auction offers up works by the attending artists and in itself is an event. Beautiful pieces can often be picked up for a price you will never see anywhere else. Besides, it is fun to bid and re-bid in hopes of bringing something wonderful into your life.

Recognized by the Harris Poll as one of the top Juried Art Shows in the United States, the Annual Ruidoso Arts Festival is a must see Ruidoso event … for additional information all year long please contact (877) RUIDOSO.
