Agave Artists Cooperative Gallery welcomes Sylvia Sierra as the Artist of the Month for August 2024. Sylvia works in both pastels and oils, creating beautiful landscapes and portraits utilizing the illumination of varied natural and majestic light sources. As a member of the Agave Gallery, Silvia has embraced the artistic approach of different artists and enjoys the exchanges that come with working in a cooperative gallery. Silvia considers herself an artist always in training, observing other artists and exploring other media such as ceramics. Silvia’s artwork has incorporated acrylic as well as recycled glass as mixed media. Her paintings have a sense of dimension and connection to the landscapes she creates.
Sylvia will present an Artist's Talk from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, August 17 at the Agave Artists Cooperative, 2250 Calle de San Albino, Mesilla. Hours are 11-5 Friday through Monday. Info: AgaveArtists.com
Las Cruces Community Theatre presents the musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s hit play “The Matchmaker,” bursting with humor, romance, comedy, and some of the greatest songs in musical theater history.

Set in New York City at the turn of the 19th century “Hello, Dolly” features such memorable songs as “Before the Parade Passes By,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” “Put on Your Sunday Clothes,” and the title number, “Hello, Dolly!”

Join local actors Rachel Thomas-Chappell, Casi Galban, Joshua Taulbee and Erin Wendorf as they introduce you to “spontaneous ensemble theatre,” performing a blend of short form improv games, followed by a full-length one-act play, all based entirely on audience suggestions. Even if you’ve caught this troupe before, they guarantee that every show is fast-paced, unpredictable, and totally different from anything you’ve seen before. The proof is in the performance. The differences come with the audience.
