New Mexico Advocates for the Arts, originally founded in 2014 to oversee the annual Las Cruces International Mariachi Conference, is now home of the Las Cruces Youth Orchestras and Choirs, and Camerata del Sol, our community chamber orchestra. Join us for a beautiful night out filled with music and dance as we officially present our programs to the community as New Mexico Advocates for the Arts. All proceeds benefit our programs which promote, preserve and fulfill the cultural needs of the community through multidisciplinary educational programming, exhibitions, activities and performances in the music, dance, theatrical, visual and literary arts.
