A Pop-Up art event showcased the work of 69 local artists Dec. 12-15 at the Bank of the West building in downtown Las Cruces.

Event coordinator Karen Conley said art work was selling and that she was happy with the participation of all the artists.

In the sale room, artists provided their ceramic creations to contribute to the Doña Ana Community College Ceramics Club table. The money collected supports 12 club members and their instructor traveling to the annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts in the spring, held this year in Richmond, Virginia.
