ABOUT MasterWorks of New Mexico

The MasterWorks of New Mexico Spring Art Show is now in its tenth year of exhibition.  It began with a unique vision, that of combining the talents and experiences of existing fine arts organizations, each representing artists throughout New Mexico, to sponsor a show of New Mexico’s finest art.  The charter board of representatives consisted of the Pastel Society of New Mexico, the New Mexico Watercolor Society, and “Miniature Arts Bardean”.  It founded, then included in its second year, a new organization for oils, acrylics, and mixed media not framed under glass, the Rio Grande Art Association.  The societies are always open for new membership, but this is not a requirement for entry in MasterWorks.  The Spring Show is in fact four separately juried shows, which are hung together after judging and the awarding of ribbons and prizes. 

 MasterWorks is held in April at Expo New Mexico
