Once a month, the town of Truth or Consequences throws a party, in the form of 2nd Saturday Art Hop, a downtown fixture since 2005.
Colorful outdoor murals by various artists can be found all around Truth or Consequences, everywhere from bath houses and shops, to homes and vacant buildings, on the main streets and in alleys.
The historic El Cortez Theater, located downtown, shows first-run films weekly. Live shows and concerts happen at several venues around town, most often at TorC Brewing. And the Black Cat Poets read their work monthly, on the first Sunday, at Ingo’s Art Cafe.
Several craft fairs occur annually, and work by artists of every variety, and from all age groups, is shown at the Sierra County Fair every October. Many quilts can be seen at the fair, but to see more than a hundred at once, from brand new to antique, visit during the Annual Gathering of Quilts each February at Ralph Edwards Auditorium.
