Happening Right Now at RRCC!
Winter Choral Concert
Get ready to embrace the spirit of the season with Wintertime Wishes and A Song for All Seasons, a special combined holiday concert presented by the Rio Rancho Youth Chorus and the Children’s Chorus of Rio Rancho!
This heartwarming event will take place on December 5 and 6 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Francis Episcopal Church (doors open at 2:30 p.m.) and promises to be an unforgettable afternoon of music, joy, and togetherness.
Gather
Gather is a relaxed, self-guided open studio where you can explore art materials, try something new, and enjoy a little time making something with your hands.
Each month features a different creative optional activity, and you're always welcome to explore our other art supplies or bring a project of your own.
Just come as you are, get creative, and enjoy an afternoon of making!
Music with a Mission
Community Outreach & Giving Back
As is tradition at all their concerts, the Children's Chorus of Rio Rancho and Rio Rancho Youth Chorus are collecting items to support a local non-profit. This season, the choruses will be collecting items for Lexiam Heart Foundation and asking audience members to bring items for their Hospital Bags. Suggested items include:pocket tissues, chapstick,pocket-size hand lotion, mints/gum, hard candy (i.e. Jolly Ranchers), small journals, puzzle books, adult coloring books, or colored pencils or gel pens.
That's a wrap...and just the beginning!
Thank you to everyone for making Charlie & the Chocolate Factory such a sweet experience!
Special thanks to our sponsors: Creative New Mexico, Castelion, Rotary Club of Rio Rancho, Kiwanis Club of Rio Rancho, Waste Management, Enhancement Center, Sandoval County Board of County Commissioners, and Bonnie Reifsteck for making Charlie and the Chocolate Factory possible!
Willy Wonka may have retreated back into his factory, but we're already dreaming about what's next. If you're interested in helping us continue bringing children's theatre to Sandoval County, we'd love to hear from you.
About Us

We focus on finding ways to introduce our members and our community to bigger, bolder, different, extraordinary artistic experiences you would never expect to get in Rio Rancho.
You may not recognize the name Rio Rancho Creative Crossroads, because you may know us by one of our program names.

Art
It happens fluidly. A note on the piano and a voice produces art. Art is creating and appreciating beauty. Harmony and melody are the power of a good song.
Performance
Performance is all about the place, acoustics, meaning, flow, preparation and adrenaline to the performer. They give tribute to the composer and both entertainment and connection to the audience.
Community
Communities involve all kinds of people doing their jobs. Communities should support the arts and the arts should support the community. It’s about having pride in the place you are and helping people with the talents you have.
Fun
Fun is about diversity: being with people of different interests, appreciations, and goals. Music provides a common rhythm and pulse that our bodies respond to. Fun is not something you can describe. It just is.
