Lincoln County New Mexico is True Enchantment
Diamond in the Rough Groups looking for something a bit different might want to head
to Carrizozo, a small town about 150 miles south of
Albuquerque. Located in stunning high-desert surroundings,
Carrizozo is world-famous for its cherry cider and now is home
to a somewhat quirky art community. The town’s many
innovative, skilled artists work in diverse mediums and send
their art to buyers and museums all over the country.
The town has many interesting galleries, including Heart of the
Raven, featuring raku pottery and paintings; Momazozo
(pictured), a community arts organization that engages guests in
spontaneous creative activities; Malkerson Gallery 408, a
contemporary space featuring the works of more than 25 local
artists and an outdoor sculpture garden; Tularosa Basin Gallery
of Photography, exhibiting the works of more than 35 New
Mexico photographers; and Highway 54 Emporium, boasting an
eclectic mix of vintage ware, art by Lincoln County artists and
charming upcycled art by owner Sheila Lynch.
Carrizozo is only about an hour’s drive from The Inn of the
Mountain Gods Resort & Casino, owned by the Mescalero
Apache Tribe. The inn offers 273 guest rooms, panoramic views,
hiking trails, 18-hole championship golf course, an indoor pool
and 40,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, including 15 rooms. Reprinted from www.smartmeetings.com
