Laughing Crow Artisans is sponsoring this art competition to support and bring awareness to artists and to raise funds to help us continue renovations on the 100+-year-old Brown Hotel Building in which we're located. Our building is a registered cultural property in the State of New Mexico. We've been working hard to renovate it and recently opened an gallery on the first floor. We still have a lot of work to do on renovating the remainder of the building and hope to open an artist retreat where artists attending our workshops will be our guests in the 14 upstairs European-style guest rooms. You're participation in this competition (whether you are an artist or vote for an artist) can help make this happen.
