Gather

A relaxed, come-as-you-are art afternoon

Bring your own project, or dig through the Open Arts Studio NM stash of supplies and see what sparks your interest. We also have monthly “art invitations” which are simple, process-based prompts designed to help you begin creating, experimenting, or playing without overthinking it Gather iis is your chance to unwind, connect, and create in community - no pressure, no expectations.

About Us

Founded in 2013, Rio Rancho Creative Crossroads' (RRCC) mission is to bring high quality, reasonably priced cultural art to Rio Rancho. You heard me, right here in Rio Rancho. 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.
