Cornerstones Community Partnerships and New Mexico MainStreet invite you to New Mexico MainStreet Frames Preservation, a photography exhibition celebrating preservation projects from MainStreet communities across New Mexico.

This exhibition is more than a collection of photographs—it is a celebration of the people, partnerships, and communities that are preserving the places that define New Mexico. Each image captures a local success story, but together they tell a much larger one: that historic preservation strengthens downtowns, supports local economies, protects our shared heritage, and inspires pride in place.

Preservation often happens quietly, one building and one project at a time. Bringing these photographs together allows us to see the collective impact of this work across the state and recognize the dedication of the communities that make it possible. It is also an opportunity to enjoy the remarkable architecture, landscapes, and stories that make every MainStreet district unique.

Join us to celebrate these achievements, reconnect with preservation colleagues and friends, and experience this inspiring statewide exhibition representing MainStreet offices from: 

• Alamogordo
• Farmington
• Grants
• Las Cruces
• Los Alamos
• Mora
• Ruidoso
• San Pedro (Albuquerque)
• Truth or Consequences
