Celebrating the Significance of the Arts
In the State of New Mexico
The Governor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts were established in 1974 by then Governor Bruce King and First Lady Alice King to celebrate the significance of the arts to the State of New Mexico. Nominations are accepted from interested individuals and art organizations statewide culminating in an exhibition and awards ceremony each fall when the Governor and First Lady acknowledge exemplary New Mexican artists, arts organizations and arts supporters.
