This is the first of three workshops that are free to participants and sponsored by a $100,000 grant from the New Mexico Creative Industries Division in the state's Economic Development Department. Doña Ana County is one of 18 New Mexico municipalities awarded the grant to create activities, programs or events that help advance the Creative Industries business sector. 

Guest presenters include local, regional and statewide experts, artists or administrators in the fields of creative industries, cultural and arts organizations, tourism and economic development.

Workshop #1 - Introduction to Creative Industries is a participatory session which integrates the performing, literary, visual, and culinary arts with practical examples to advance creativity, business creation and economic development.
