MAS ART

Gallery opening delayed by COVID

Posted

Mas Art has added to its art focused store and created a gallery space welcoming art lovers to its broad walls. The gallery was supposed to open on Black Friday but now will wait until the first day Doña Ana County opens its non-essential businesses.

The little art and frame shop owned by Malu Bender and her sister Sandra Bender moved to a new space at 144 Wyatt Drive in August. Now the sisters are preparing to welcome local artists and shoppers to a gallery at their shop.

“We filled the gallery in two days [with artists],” Malu said. “We thought we would open the gallery and have a lot of spaces open, but we don’t have one extra space. We have 22 artists.”

The business is going well since it moved Sandra said.

“We like our space,” she said. “We have more customers here than we had ever downtown. People just see us here and stop. We feel good and are actually doing well and progressing.”

Malu, an artist herself is pleased. People are already asking them to expand the gallery.

Mas Art will be open for COVID-safe business as soon as possible. Visit www.masartllc.com for more details or check it out at Facebook or Instagram. For information email info@masartllc.com or call 575-526-9113.
