Contemporary Artists

Carlsbad Caverns has a long history of inspiring artists. The cave was designated a World Heritage Site in 1996, joining other “crown jewel” parks like Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Yosemite.

Contemporary photographers and artists in other media continue to draw inspiration from Carlsbad Caverns. "Underground Visions" will include examples of work by accomplished artists capturing the magic of the subterranean landscape.
