The Grant County Art Guild is kicking off Silver City's Labor Day weekend with a Friday evening opening reception for their 2024 Creatures of the Gila art and wildlife show. Art in the "Creatures" show depicts, or is inspired by, “Creatures” (mammals, fish, birds, insects and reptiles) who live in the Gila River watershed.

Each 2D or 3D artwork is paired with a description of the actual creature on which it is based. This family friendly show offers an amazing range of work for art lovers, but is equally appealing to family members whose main interest is wildlife. Stop by the 5-7pm opening reception for fun, food, and a chance to chat with show artists. Judge Lois Duffy will award the show prizes at the reception. Show dates are Aug 30-Sep 8.
