Book Bedazzling Party
Come as you are. Make something together.

Join us for a cozy, low-pressure creative gathering where we decorate books with gems, markers, collage, and lots of joy. Bring a book you’d like to transform or choose a pre-owned book from us. No art experience needed—this is about slowing down, being in community, and caring for ourselves and each other through creativity.

New: $10/month Community Membership

We want to show you what small, steady support actually makes possible.

At the Doña Ana Arts Council, we’ve introduced a $10/month Community Membership so more people can stay connected to the arts at a level that fits real life.

Here’s what that can look like in practice:

50 Community Members ($10/month)
= Covers the cost of hosting a local artist workshop

75 Community Members
= Supports promotion and materials for a gallery exhibition

100 Community Members
= Helps fund artist stipends, supplies, and community gatherings

No single person has to carry it alone.
Together, these small monthly commitments create stability, opportunity, and room to grow.

Community Members receive:
• our monthly e-newsletter with opportunities and highlights
• invitations to Members Mixers
• early updates and announcements
• a warm welcome into a growing community of Southern New Mexico artists and supporters

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to help, but I can only do a little right now,”
this tier exists for you.

Join as a Community Member here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/dona-ana-arts-council-incs-memberships

Thank you for helping keep the arts accessible, connected, and alive—one small yes at a time

A note from the Doña Ana Arts Council

We’re refreshing our membership program—and for the first time, we’re also being honest about something that matters.

Like many arts organizations, we’re navigating real financial challenges. Costs are rising. Funding shifts. And sustaining creative space takes steady, shared support.

So instead of shrinking or going quiet, we’re inviting our community in.

Membership at the Doña Ana Arts Council is a way to help local artists be seen, keep exhibitions and gatherings accessible, and make sure Southern New Mexico continues to have a vibrant creative home.

And it’s not just about giving—membership comes with real benefits:
invitations + community
artist opportunities + visibility
access, discounts, and special experiences

If the arts have ever helped you feel connected, inspired, or at home—this is one way to give that gift forward.

Even a modest monthly membership makes a difference. Together, they add up to stability, possibility, and room to grow.

Thank you for believing in the arts—and in this community.
