Celebrating 50 years of fine art in the Sacramento Mountains
Since 1976, the Mayfair Juried Art Show has drawn artists and art lovers to the cool pines of Cloudcroft each Memorial Day weekend. Now celebrating its 50th year, Mayfair is one of the longest-running art events in southern New Mexico. Unlike open shows, Mayfair is a juried exhibition where every artist must be accepted by a selection committee, ensuring the highest quality of work on display. Over 70 artists set up their booths throughout Zenith Park, showcasing jewelry, fine art, sculpture, pottery, and handcrafted goods to approximately 2,000 visitors each year. With live entertainment on stage, children's activities, and six food booths, Mayfair is a celebration of creativity and community at 9,000 feet.
