Nestled at the Gateway to the Gila National Forest in the southwest corner of New Mexico, the Silver City/Grant County area is a dynamic and growing art community with a character all its own. Visit us and enjoy the fine selection of Southwestern, contemporary and Native American art in a variety of media and styles. Over 400 artists and about 50 galleries and studios make this area a highly energized art community.

San Vicente Artists of Silver City (SVA) was formed by area artists over a decade ago to promote visual arts in southwestern New Mexico. The name San Vicente originates from Silver City's original name: "La Cienega de San Vicente" (the Marsh of St. Vicente). The area's reputation for beautiful art stretches back more than a thousand years, when the Mimbreno people flourished and produced their world-renowned pottery designs in the local valleys and cliff dwellings. More recently, Silver City and surrounding Grant County have become attractive to artists searching for breathing room in today's art world.

 

The organization's "Artists Guide" serves as a focal point for Self-Guided Art Walks which will lead you to the works of member artists, as well as to other galleries and businesses who support SVA as Patron members. A good place to begin your tour is at Silver Spirit Gallery, 109 N Bullard, where SVA maintains a shared space for members to exhibit work.

The organization also sponsors an Art Fair in the Big Ditch Park each Labor Day Weekend.

Potluck at Steve & Luanne's HouseOur friendly small town atmosphere not only serves as a great place to enjoy and buy fine art at affordable prices, but also offers the natural beauty of the Gila National Forest and many great area attractions. Take a few days and visit the local galleries and studios as well as the Silver City Museum, Gila Cliff Dwellings, City of Rocks State Park, historic Pinos Altos, and Lake Roberts.
