| Gallery 408 and the Second Floor Studios on Historic Twelfth Street is a growing Art Center in Carrizozo, New Mexico. Next to the Gallery, visit the Sculpture Garden featuring large outdoor artworks by local and national artists. In the Sculpture Garden you will see the Burros climbing walls and looking down at you from the rooftops. This public art space is enjoyed by local townspeople and by all who come to the Gallery. We believe that art helps us enjoy life a little more. |

To continue our interest in Public Art and its affect on our community in Carrizozo, Gallery 408 sponsors a live Art Auction named the Burro Serenade. Every November, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the town comes alive during this traditional event. Life size Burros painted and embellished by well-known artists has become the Public Art of the sidewalks and buildings of Carrizozo. Gazing from rooftops, garden walls, sidewalks and private patios, the Burros of Carrizozo welcome travelers and friends. Each burro has a unique personality and story demonstrating the visual interests of the artist who created them. The proceeds of this Auction benefit the local Animal Rescue Organizations and the veterinarians who help to take care of them.
