Second Saturday Art Hop: August 2026

Saturday, August 8, 2026

Here are some of the events that took place during August's Second Saturday Art Hop:

RioBravoFineArt: 110 N. Broadway

RioBravoFineArt presents the annual Borders Artists exhibition. Approximately twenty artists present a superb selection of wall art, sculpture and other media. Border Artists, a group of fine artists in southern New Mexico and El Paso, Texas, was formed in late 1990 to increase visibility and recognition for their artwork. With the success of the group, they continued to add new members. In 1995, they formed a non-profit artist association. Membership is by invitation.

Because the arts are integral to the cultural life of a community, the Border Artists are committed to creating artwork and sharing their art through exhibitions and educational events. The Border Artists exhibitions are often fundraisers for other local not-for-profit groups. The group awards several artistic scholarships for high school and university students each year.

RGee Trio will provide music, a mixture of pop and rock classics shaped with a light jazz style during the show’s opening. The Border Artists show runs through October 25, 2026.

Olin B. West’s show, Timescapes, a series of exceptional paintings, continues through August. Art Hop’s opening show on September 12 is a joint exhibition featuring Tauna Cole and Nolan Winkler, two members of the Border Artists group.
