Las Cruces

Artists from New Mexico State University have unveiled collaborative installation works at the El Paso Museum of Art. The debut marks a partnership between the university's art community and the border-city museum, bringing student and faculty work to a wider regional audience. The collaboration highlights growing cultural exchange between Las Cruces and El Paso.

An opinion piece in the Albuquerque Journal argues that New Mexico's next economic frontier is the space industry, and that rural communities across the state are well positioned to lead in it. The column frames space as an opportunity to broaden an economy long dependent on oil and gas and federal labs, urging investment in rural workforce and infrastructure so the benefits reach beyond Albuquerque and Las Cruces.
