Major holidays are always open days at the Grant County Art Guild's Pinos Altos Art Gallery! That makes this Labor Day Weekend a big four days of art and fine crafts at the Guild's seasonal gallery, located at 14 Golden Avenue in the historic Hearst Church. On Friday, September 4, through Monday, September 7, there will be a featured member artist to greet you and show you their special exhibit as well as answer your questions in regard to the exhibits of the other 40-plus members of the art guild. Come anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. those days and you can check out the art, as well as the interesting old church building that was built in 1898 during the Pinos Altos mining days.

On Friday, September 4, Thia Utz will be the featured artist at the gallery. Among Thia's art shown in the gallery are her popular miniature oil paintings. Thia has taken classes from local artist and art instructor, Tom Holt.

Linda Reynolds will be at the gallery on Saturday, September 5, with a special exhibit of her latest and best work. Linda says that she is inspired by nature and the work of other artists. She has a degree in art from WNMU, enjoys taking classes and is always excited to learn new methods and art forms.

Pottery is very popular with visitors to the gallery. Our featured artist on Sunday, September 6, is Letha Cress Woolf, the newest of our members who are working in clay. She says that she loves the process, shaping the piece, mixing the glazes she uses and firing in her own kiln. Her miniature teapots are real original pieces of art!

A very versatile artist, Cindy Lindhorn, makes handcrafted whimsical jewelry, paints in encaustics, much of her work featuring delightful animal caricatures. Cindy and her art will be featured on Labor Day, Monday, September 7. It is a great time to stop in and see some of her latest work.

Browsers as well as buyers are always welcome at the Pinos Altos Gallery. The gallery will be open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and major holidays through October 18. Mark your calendar for September 22, 5:30 p.m., for the opening reception for the Guild's 30th Annual Purchase Prize Show, open to entries from artists across New Mexico. All are invited to come and meet the artists, enjoy some finger foods and see who has won the blue ribbons.
