Franciscan Festival of Fine Arts - Labor Day Weekend 2025

Posted August 19, 2025

 

 

The ever popular FRANCISCAN FESTIVAL OF FINE ARTS is less than 2 weeks away!   If you love spending a fun day at a superb arts show, the festival will be held this coming Labor Day weekend, August 30 and August 311 at Holy Cross Retreat Center in Mesilla Park, NM.  Since 80-90 artists normally participate, there is a wide variety of juried art - paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography, crosses, clothing / handbags, metal work, quilts, woodwork, leatherwork, and much more - will be available to browse and to buy (make an artist's day!).  Everything for sale has to be made by the artist selling it - no mass produced items allowed!  Music, food (including a mouth watering enchilada dinner), drinks (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic), a silent auction and a raffle are also part of the fun.  As always, I'll be there selling my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS handmade jewelry, outside under a beautiful pine tree in my normal spot, space C-2.  It will be wonderful to see / chat with returning customers and new shoppers!  Be sure to stop by and say "Hi!"
