Silver City and the surrounding areas have lots to offer art and museum lovers, some located within easy distance and others interesting day trip options which include scenic byways and stunning vistas.
The Silver City Art Association sponsors two major events each year, the Red Dot Studio Tour in May which features open studios and the opportunity to meet and talk with local artists, and the Red Dot Weekend at the Galleries in October. There are many smaller events throughout the year, including gallery openings, new show receptions, and more.
