Presented by the nonprofit Public Lands Interpretive Association and the New Mexico Bureau of Land Management, the El Malpais Community Art Program brings together artists of various disciplines to highlight the natural beauty and traditional uses of the landscape at El Malpais National Conservation Area. Artists from Indigenous communities and across New Mexico were invited to submit artwork centering on themes of land stewardship and conservation for display at the BLM Ranger Station at El Malpais (on NM-117, 9 miles south of 1-40 exit 89).

Featuring varied works by local artists, come experience some of the incredible art that New Mexico's landscapes can inspire.
