The Mimbres Region Arts Council held its community Celebration of the Arts Thursday evening at The Hub. MRAC plans for it to become an annual event. Art stations were set up for kids and adults to create prints, Mimbres Realty provided munchies, and attendees could purchase a raffle ticket for the steamroller print created at the recent Southwest Print Festival. The winning ticket will be drawn on December 5. The $5 tickets can be purchased from MRAC at 1201 N. Pope Street.
