The Weight We Carry: A First Responder Art Exhibit returns for its second year.

This exhibit brings together artwork created by first responders and their families, offering a glimpse into the creativity, experiences, and perspectives that exist beyond the uniform.

At the heart of The Weight We Carry is a simple idea: creativity can provide space to pause, express, reflect, and connect.

Join us at the International Museum of Art in El Paso as we celebrate the artists, their work, and the positive role creativity can play within the first responder community.

Exhibit: September 12 – October 4, 2026

Opening Reception: September 19, 2026 | 2–4 PM

The exhibit and opening reception are open to the community.
