Honorees represent a wide range of artistic disciplines and backgrounds, reflecting the diversity and creative depth of the Borderland. Their work strengthens community connections and expands how art is experienced and valued across the region.

The event will bring together honorees, community members, supporters and partners for an immersive evening centered on artistic expression, recognition and connection. Whether you are an artist, arts supporter, reader or community advocate, Change Makers offers a space to celebrate women shaping El Paso’s cultural future.

Community members are encouraged to submit nominations and save the date as we prepare to honor women whose artistic work is impacting the Borderland.

Know a woman in the arts making an impact?

Nominations are open to artists working in all disciplines – visual and performance.
Nomination Deadline: Friday, February 21, 2026
