Neighborhood guide
Old Mesilla Art Galleries
Adobe walls, a 19th-century plaza and more galleries per block than anywhere in the valley. Park once, walk everything, stay for dinner.
Mesilla Valley Fine Arts Gallery
A juried co-op of about 30 southern New Mexico and West Texas artists, on the Plaza in the Fountain Theatre building. Painting, photography, woodturning, gourds, ceramics, glass and jewelry, and the artist minding the counter probably made half of it.
Daily 10am–5pm
Agave Artists Gallery
An artist-owned co-op in the historic Josefina's Old Gate complex, steps from the Plaza. Painters, sculptors, photographers and jewelers from across southern New Mexico, plus a meditation garden worth lingering in.
Hours being confirmed. Call ahead.
The Potteries
A working pottery studio a short walk from the Plaza, in business since 1986. Bill Cook's earthenware lighting, thrown from clay he digs himself, Janice Cook's porcelain and sculpture, and Jeanne Rundell's paintings.
Hours being confirmed. Call ahead.
Galeri Azul
A Plaza fixture since the 1990s. Ever-changing folk art and gifts off a courtyard that usually has music drifting through it.
Mon–Sat 10am–6pm, Sun 11am–6pm
