More Mural!

We’ve got all sorts of wonderful murals on the outside of Cruces Creatives now—but what about the inside? Well, as part of the MESA Art Show on the intersections between agriculture and the environment, Cruces Creatives will be getting a pattern of prominent local crops as break room mural, designed by artist Victor Beckman.

Vacuum Press for 2D Art

Thanks to a donation from Reviver Printing, Cruces Creatives now has a 4’ x 6’ vacuum press! This tool allows mounting, laminating, and texturing for 2D artworks, and it’ll be a great complement to the 2D art classes at the makerspace. Watch the event calendar for training in how to use this tool.
