University Art Museum at New Mexico State University acquires Work by Shirley Crow

I'm excited to announce that the University Art Museum at New Mexico State University (NMSU) in Las Cruces, has recently accessioned 13 of my paintings and drawings into the NMSU Permanent Art Collection.

These works span my career from 1971 to the 2019. NMSU is planning on using these pieces in various ways from teaching to research and exhibition and programming.

Having my work in the NMSU Permanent Art Collection, housed within the University Art Museum at NMSU and being involved in their programs is a great honor. Tentatively, the Museum is planning to hold an exhibition of these works in the fall/winter of 2026.

The following two images represent the earliest and the most recent works included.
