Does your child love music and dream of playing their favorite songs on the piano? Join our fun, hands-on Piano Class for 1st–5th graders at the Lea County Center for the Arts!

No long years of boring exercises required—just practical music skills, creativity, confidence, and fun!

Big news from the LCCA family!

Our Executive Director welcomed his sweet new baby girl into the world.

That's why things have been quiet on our page lately, but don't worry, behind the scenes, LCCA has been as busy as ever. We've got amazing classes, workshops, and events in the works, and we can't wait to share the details with you very soon.

In the meantime, come see us tomorrow! Join LCCA and many other nonprofits at the Shipp Street Plaza for Family Fun Zone, part of Hobbs August Nites, from 10am to 4pm. We'll have an art wall set up where you're invited to draw right on it... Yes, really! No rules (well, some rules), just creativity.

Bring the whole family and come make some art with us. What will you draw on our wall? Don't miss it!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our friend David Herman.

David spent his days changing lives as a Lifeskills Facilitator at Option Inc. in Hobbs — a strong voice and a tireless advocate for so many people who needed someone in their corner. He showed up for others, again and again, and our community is better because of it.

And when the workday ended, David picked up a paintbrush. He was Hobbs' very own "Bob Ross." He taught two wonderful hands-on painting classes here at the Lea County Center for the Arts, guiding beginners through happy little trees and reminding everyone there are no mistakes — just happy accidents. He was also one of our featured artists, sharing well over 40 paintings with us.

That was David. He used his gifts to help people and to make people smile.

We will miss him deeply. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his coworkers, and everyone whose life he touched.

Rest easy, David. Thank you!

We’re so grateful to Blanca Perez for choosing LCCA to host her book-signing event. Her story is one of courage, resilience, and hope, sharing her journey through a thirteen-year marriage marked by control and fear, and the path she took to reclaim her voice, identity, and healing.

We also want to recognize The Phoenix House and the incredible work they do for our community. Their compassionate support, advocacy, and resources make a meaningful difference for individuals and families who need help, safety, and hope the most.
Blanca’s book is a powerful reminder that no one has to walk through difficult circumstances alone. We encourage you to check it out and support this important message. It is available on Amazon, click the link to learn more.
