This year, the Silver City Holiday Artisan Market celebrates its 10th anniversary! This marks a decade of bringing together talented local artisans and a supportive community in the spirit of the holiday season.
What began as a show at the old post office downtown has grown into a larger space at the convention center, showcasing unique, handcrafted creations and fostering a deep connection between the artists and their fans. This milestone event promises to be more special than ever, featuring a vibrant mix of familiar favorites and new vendors that reflect the heart and creativity of Silver City.

The 32 member mixed community choir is now rehearsing at Cross Point Church on Hwy. 180 in Silver City. Director Bryce Wooton says, "Our choir is grateful to Pastor Tim Heyer and his church for providing our weekly rehearsal venue. We will also be performing for the first time at Cross Point Church at 11600 Hwy. 180 E for our Sunday, December 8th concert at 3pm. On Friday, December 6th we will perform, as we have for several years now, at Terrazas Funeral Chapel, at 1 Ft. Bayard Road in Santa Clara at 7pm. Luis Terrazas and his staff are more than hospitable and accommodating. They even live stream our performance, and we have had over 400 views on Facebook. It's great to be able to present an evening concert in the mining district at the Terrazas chapel and one in the afternoon at Cross Point for those who do not like to drive at night."

Some of the cast practicing a dance contest scene at the Knights of Columbus Hall.Over 60 community leaders, including business owners, elected officials, teachers, nurses, city and county employees, dance band members and people from all walks of life have been meeting regularly as Teatro del Cobre to practice for a performance of A Chicano Christmas. This is a bilingual play written by Patricia Cano and directed by Guadalupe Cano. The name, Teatro del Cobre, was chosen for the group because most of the participants have some kind of association with the copper mine. Either their grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins worked there or they themselves were employed by the mine at some point or they are current employees of the mine.
