Champagne & Chocolates Art Couture Fashion Show in Silver City New Mexico

 Silver City is a unique  high desert town art town on the Great Divide about 52 mile north of  I-10. 

Art Fest & Studio Tour was celebrated from October 7 - 16, 2016 this year. 

Activities were expanded to include many more workshops and gallery demonstrations.

 I particularly enjoyed the Closing Reception- Champagne & Chocolates Art Couture on Sunday Oct. 16 from 4-6 pm at the Seedboat Gallery Annex and Courtyard. Featured were clever and beautiful art fashions by local designers.

I took photos of  most of the fashions and wanted to share them with you. This is only some of the talent we have in the Silver City Arts District and in Grant County. So please come and visit us soon.

If you click on the photograph you can watch the photos as a slide show.
