SCAA artist Paula Manning-Lewis is showing her latest series, “Trees of the Gila” at the Silver City Public Library for the months of August and September. There will be an artist reception on Friday, September 6th, 3:00-4:30pm. The reception precedes the monthly First Friday openings at the galleries in downtown Silver City. Stop by to see Paula’s paintings! The series was created to celebrate the Centennial of the Gila Wilderness and was inspired by hiking and backpacking trips deep in the Gila National Forest and thousands of photos taken over the years.
