March 6 – April 18, 2026
The All-City High School Art Show is an annual exhibition at the Branigan Cultural Center celebrating the creativity and artistic growth of Las Cruces’ high school students. The 2026 exhibition features artwork by 66 junior and senior students from local Las Cruces high schools, including selected home-schooled students.
Senior and junior students from Mayfield, Las Cruces, Organ Mountain, Centennial, Alma d’Arte, and Rio Grande Prep High Schools, along with participating home-schooled students, offer viewers a wide range of 2-D and 3-D artwork, from ceramics and mixed media to paintings, drawings, and digital art. Students were required to apply for consideration, and artwork was selected based on quality, creativity, and artistic excellence. This unique grouping of work highlights the progress and development students have made throughout their high school years and demonstrates the creativity of these exciting emerging artists.
The exhibition opens with a public reception on Friday, March 6, from 5–7 p.m., with an awards ceremony beginning at 5:30 p.m. Juried awards, including Best of Show, are supported by the Foundation for Las Cruces Museums and the Potters Guild of Las Cruces.
