We just got back from a whirlwind trip to T or C for the Second Saturday Art Hop. What a fun, lively, art-filled event!

Big thanks to #SierraCountyArtsCouncil for taking the time to chat with us.

Hi, friends! In case we haven't met you yet in our travels talking about this project, we're Val & J.—founders of Southwest Art Towns. We're based in Silver City, NM and we're looking forward to getting to know all of the great art communities and creators in the southwest through this adventure.

A few weeks ago we swung by the #EspañolaValleyFiberArtsCenter. What a tremendous resource for fiber artists. And the mural is simply gorgeous!

Be sure to check out everything they have to offer–supplies, tools, classes, and more.

We bumped into the ever-energetic Terri Durham at the #ZiaGallery last weekend. Not only do we love her dot painting work, she is a force of nature and kept us in stitches. Stop in when you're in T or C.

We ❤️ seeing murals when we're out-and-about. We get to visit this one at City of Rocks State Park (Faywood, NM) pretty often as frequent park visitors. We notice something new about it each time.
