North Pole at the Museum

Beginning in 2007, the International Museum of Art began a yearly Christmas program for the young people of El Paso. Christmas at the Museum is designed to spark young people’s interest in the arts and bring young people and their families to the Museum for a day of holiday programming rooted in the arts.

First and Second prize are awarded in each catagory.

Coloring Contest

North Pole at the Museum kicks off with a coloring contest for students in grades K-2nd grade and a drawing contest "Christmas Imagination," 3rd grade through 5th.

The drawing contest will focus on Christmas or a winter scene. It can either be a memory or a wish.

The coloring contest entry forms can be accessed here.

Santa Collection

Santa Collection - International Museum of Art

As part of the seasonal festivities, the International Museum of Art has on display approximately 500 pairs of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clauses.

This wonderful collection was donated to the Museum in 2007 by Mr. Paul Svetoka. Mrs. Svetoka collected and displayed this jolly couple in their home for many years. After her passing, Mr. Svetoka donated the collection to the Museum for the viewing and enjoyment of the El Paso community.

This collection is on display each December (check our calendar).
