In Downtown Silver City , on Saturday morning, it was hard to find a parking place. Small Business Saturday and the Independent Artists of the Silver City Artist Association kept people moving from place to place. Art galleries are small businesses, too, so several are featured here, in addition to a new downtown storefront for a local business, Ziryab's.
