Our Story
Otero Arts is the only arts organization in Otero County that offers FREE art classes for all ages.
On the 2nd Saturday of each month, we offer kid's classes (generally 8+) at 10 AM and an Adult (16+) session that afternoon. They may not always be the same subject, but often will be. Local artists and members of Otero Arts volunteer their time to set up, take down, assist the teacher as a "kid wrangler" to help the kids make their masterpieces! Thanks to grant money, the program is completely free of charge and all materials are furnished at no charge. To see all classes offered click on the QR Code above on a cell phone. This will take you to SignUp Genius, the app that we use to schedule our classes and volunteers.
