Celebrate art, ’Zozo-style.
On Saturday, the funky town of Carrizozo hosts an extravaganza of creative fun to mark World Art Day, including a fashion show, a celebration of a new sculpture, a poetry reading, and a concert. The first World Art Day happened in 2012 to honor international creativity on Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday. Carrizozo became the first New Mexico community to join the global art party in 2018, and the celebration has only grown from there.
A big tent set at the intersection of U.S. 54 and the arts district on 12th Street is home base for the event, and the spot to see the N’Awlins Gumbo Kings perform at 4 p.m. Local galleries—including New Mexico’s largest photo gallery, the Tularosa Basin Gallery of Photography—will be open and will help unveil a new collaborative sculpture.
Created by 20 artists who live in Carrizozo, the collaborative installation takes inspiration from famous works that feature flowers. “One piece is inspired by Gustav Klimt, and it features pieces of an old window,” says Cynthia Johnson, organizer of Carrizozo’s World Art Day. “Another is inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe and has old animal bones. And another, inspired by Renoir, has actual flowers attached.” Together, the 20 works create a flower garden. “It’s a very eclectic group,” Johnson says.
