How can we all better connect, collaborate, and share resources across Silver City's arts and culture ecosystem?
Join Silver City MainStreet Project/Arts & Cultural District for an Artist Ecosystem Workshop designed to bring together local artists, arts organizations, cultural groups, and creative partners to learn more about one another's work, identify shared needs and opportunities, and imagine new ways to collaborate.
Together, we'll map the organizations and resources that make up our local creative ecosystem, share what we're working on, and explore opportunities for partnership, resource sharing, cross-promotion, programming, and collective action.

New Mexico State Library, the J. Cloyd Miller Library at Western New Mexico University, and the Public Library of Silver City present a book talk with New Mexico Great Reads authors Caroline Starr Rose and Philip Connors.
What: Join New Mexico's National Book Festival authors Caroline Starr Rose and Philip Connors for a conversation exploring their newest books that were shaped by life perched high above New Mexico in a fire watch tower. "The Burning Season" by Caroline Starr Rose and "The Mountain Knows the Mountain: A Fire Watch Diary" by Philip Connors were selected as the New Mexico Great Reads books for the National Book Festival, held in Washington, DC on August 22. In the juvenile fiction book, "The Burning Season," twelve-year-old Opal is preparing to become a fourth-generation fire lookout on Wolf Mountain in the New Mexico wilderness but has to overcome her fear of fire to carry on the family tradition. In Philip Connors' book, "The Mountain Knows the Mountain," he shares his experiences and renewed intentions as he returns to a fire lookout post in the Gila Wilderness after a year-long recovery from an injury. The book talk is free and open to the public.
