The IMoA is proud to announce the collaboration with The Tom Lea Institute, in “Small Man in a Vast & Wonderous World – Tom Lea’s China”, as a part of Tom Lea Celebration. April 2023 we will be holding a juried exhibit of student art. First, art teachers all over El Paso will give a lesson about Tom Lea’s landscapes on the theme “Small Man in a Vast & Wonderous World.” Then, students will create artwork based on the theme.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s show, and a big thank you to the Tom Lea Institutes team!

Congratulations to the winners: 1st Liliana Meza Marquez, 2nd Jesus Herminio Bujanda, 3rd Kimberly Estrada, 4th Brisa Alvarez. Keep creating!
