The Silver City Holiday Artisan Market set up many local artists and crafters to show and sell their wares at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center for two days—Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024.
Vendors said the visitors to their booths had been steady all morning and early afternoon on Saturday, They were making sales, too. The variety at this market stuns the visitor, because they can find everything from several jewelry makers, to very different wood workers, to painters, photographers, various fabric arts, including knitting, crocheting and weaving. A couple of artists work with gourds in creative ways. It's quite the feast for the eyes, and prices vary from inexpensive to high-quality expensive gifts.
