Art & Wine – 51 Years of the Ruidoso Art Festival

The 2022 Ruidoso Art Festival will be held July 22, 23, and 24 at the Ruidoso Convention Center. Featuring over 100 of the nation’s most talented artists, as well as local wineries and wine tastings, the Ruidoso Art Festival is a much anticipated annual event that brings thousands of visitors to the village every summer. Tickets will be available at the door or in advance online.

Originally held in 1971 as an outdoor “tent” show, the Ruidoso Art Festival has evolved over the last 50 years into a successful and highly praised artist showcase. The event is now held annually at the Ruidoso Convention Center. There will also be a Silent Auction held to benefit the Ruidoso Chamber of Commerce’s Special Project Fund which funds philanthropic endeavors in local communities.
