ANDERSON MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
There is far more to
discover about Roswell, New Mexico than aliens...
Let me take you on a visual tour of a remarkable museum that showcases the permanent collection of artwork produced by alumni of the prestigious Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program.
The program was established in 1967 by artist and businessman Donald B. Anderson and the Roswell Museum and Art Center. Their dream was to bring renowned artists to live and work in the tranquility of the high plains of southeastern New Mexico and give them the gift of time. Over the years, hundreds of gifted U.S. and international artists have participated in the Program, making the Roswell program one of the most sought after residencies of its kind.
