The Grant County Art Guild is gearing up for four big day of arts and crafts at their Pinos Altos Art Gallery for this holiday weekend. Major holidays are always open days! This unique gallery is located in the historic Hearst Church at 14 Golden Avenue in the quaint village of Pinos Altos, just seven miles north of Silver City. It's an easy drive, a beautiful location at the edge of the Gila Wilderness.

On Friday, May 22, and Saturday, May 23, the featured artist at the gallery will be Ann Taylor, well-known in the local art community for her lovely colorful oil paintings, particularly of flowers. Ann is a long-time member of the Guild and she also creates a variety of popular craft items.

On Sunday, May 24, artist Donna Schmidt will be the welcoming artist at the Pinos Altos Art Gallery. She will be there to show you her special display of her latest paintings and to answer any of your questions on the abundance of other art and crafts exhibited as well as the history of this beautiful old building.

Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, the gallery is open and we are featuring a new artist to the guild, Diane Cornelius. Stop in and say hi and see the oil paintings that Diane has on exhibit. The addition of her original art to the gallery is most appreciated. Your visit on this special day will help us give Diane a grand welcome to the Guild!
