A Shout-Out to the

Carrizozo Community Folks 

WELCOME TO THE ARTUARY I AND II

There is a New Art Space in Carrizozo called THE ARTUARY on Hwy. 54 (Central Avenue) across from McDonald Park. The old Newspaper building has a new bright beautiful design and is now ready for the first art installation. The theme of the inaugural exhibition is LADDERS and what they symbolize. Just about everyone has a ladder or has climbed a ladder…they are necessary for many different functions and work projects and/or can be decorative. An iconic ladder can be found in barns, bunk beds, Kivas, trucks, inside wind turbines…or even in songs… “Climbing Jacob’s Ladder”…just about everywhere. As a symbol they can be a kind of framework for thinking about how small decisions make actions…one step at a time. Climbing a ladder can give one a new perspective or a sense of achievement. The rungs become part of the larger continuity of connection to one’s body, family, friends, peers and community.

These ladders together remind us of our stories, time past, and will decorate the old walls with many beautiful shadows throughout the day. We have placed twenty  ladders in this open space.

THE ARTUARY is located at 1112 Central Ave, Hwy 54, Carrizozo, New Mexico, 88301.
