The annual San Vicente Artists' Gila River and Southwest Landscape Art Show was held at the Artist Lair Gallery (old Elk's Club) at the corner of Texas and Market Streets in Silver City the weekend of Sept. 25-27. This year, the theme of the show was expanded to include all Southwestern art, and in all, there were 29 paintings and photographs entered. Most were entered for judging but a few for display purposes only. Jim Cain judged the paintings and David Mulvenna judged the photography.

The opening reception was held Friday night from 5-7 and over 30 people attended that evening with more viewing on Saturday and Sunday morning. Show results are as follows:
Fine Art:
Best of Show: Ruth Hamby €œNatural Bridges €
First Place: Camille Painter Davis €œA Winter's Day on the Dragonfly Trail €
Second Place: Fidel Hinojosa €œ Gila Retreat €
Third Place: Karen Neil €œLate September on the Gila €
Honorable Mention: Arlene Sarkela €œ Walker Lake €
Photography:
First Place: Camille Painter Davis €œ A View of Monument Valley €
Second Place: Eric Sarkela €œGone to Seed €
Third Place: Eric Sarkela €œMonument Valley €

A tie for the People's Choice Award between Arlene Sarkela's €œMonument Valley € and Fidel Hinojosa's €œGila Retreat € was broken on Sunday morning by the last people viewing the show and Fidel Hinojosa won that award by one vote.

Cash awards, gift certificates, ribbons, medals or memberships are awarded for the SVA shows throughout the year.
