Casa de Arte is an art-inspired space on two acres, west of the Rio Grande in Las Cruces. The property is surrounded by pecan orchards and is a haven for wildlife. The property is professionally landscaped, with plants native to the Chihuahuan desert. Our focus is to provide space for creating, viewing, or learning about visual arts. We have an on-site studio/display space, a casita that can be rented on a short-term basis, and a home for small group gatherings.
XYZ ART STUDIO
XYZ Art Studio is a non-residential space where on-site artists produce works in watercolor, oil, and acrylics. Some of the pieces are available for sale in the studio, as well as through the artists' websites or in galleries in southern New Mexico.
At XYZ Studios, we host events for the arts community. This includes demonstration workshops and talks on creating art. We also host fundraising events for the broader Las Cruces arts community. All of these events can be found on this website.
Pajarito Casita
Pajarito Casita is a 320 square foot space, offered as short-term rental space for 1-2 people (two dog maximum). Rental periods are for 1-10 nights. The space can be rented through Airbnb, VRBO, and MisterBandB rental sites.
The Casita has two rooms and a full bathroom. The entry room has a couch, table with two chairs, TV, refrigerator, microwave, and sink. It does not have a full kitchen, but guests can bring food in, have it delivered, or use the outdoor grill. The bedroom has a full bed. A sliding barn door separates the bathroom and bedroom. The space is private and quiet. Overnight visitors can take in the expanse of the night sky, without city lights to interfere.
Guests staying in the casita have access to the large, gated backyard. The backyard has four pecan trees and ample space for people and pets. There is outdoor seating in the garden courtyard off the casita entrance. The courtyard is gated and private.
Casa de Arte
Casa de Arte is a private home, artfully inspired and decorated. The space is designed for groups of 4-12 people to host writer's workshops, community meetings, discussion groups, or informal gatherings. Kitchen facilities are available.
