The #Carrizozo donkeys are an attempt to entice travelers into exploring Carrizozo’s art spaces. Warren and Joan Malkerson, owners of Tularosa Basin Gallery of Photography and Gallery 408, invite local artists (and kids) to paint the donkeys. They sell for $500 - $1300, providing funds for animal rescue in the area.
