The 45,000-member, $275 million Evolve Credit Union, formerly the El Paso Employees Federal Credit Union, has found that supporting its local community and promoting its recent name change has meant reaching out to El Paso's burgeoning art community.

"We have a growing art community in El Paso," explained Evolve spokesman Elisa Terrazas-Arce, "but it's not yet at the tipping point like art might be in a larger metropolitan area like San Francisco. We saw this as an opportunity for us and for the artists."

In sponsoring the show, the CU will place the art work in its Mission Valley Branch, which Terrazas-Arce described as having cathedral ceilings and being particularly well suited to display art. The show will run for a month and the CU will open the branch to members and the public on the show's first night on Jan. 26.  The CU will serve refreshments and provide life music at the event, she added.
