What is the Tom Lea Institute? Holly Cobb

Join us in celebrating the legacy of Tom Lea, brought to life by Holly Cobb, Executive Director of the Tom Lea Institute in El Paso, Texas. Recently featured on our 915 Talk Show, Holly shared her passion for preserving Lea’s artistry and storytelling, which captures the heart of the Southwest.

Holly has developed innovative curricula integrated into local schools, blending Tom Lea’s art, writing, and life into character-based education. From producing engaging videos like An Awkward First Date about the Pass of the North mural to curating Tom Lea Month events, she’s inspiring a new generation to connect with Lea’s historical and cultural contributions.
