Vladimir Gnilozubov, a local financial advisor will talk about savings, investing, retirement distributions, planning for the unexpected, and estate planning. He will be answering questions about these topics and others during the program.

Vladimir Gnilozubov was born and raised in Kazakhstan. He came to the Silver City community back in 2014.

"I started my journey as a student athlete, playing tennis for Western New Mexico University. My goal was to be involved in the community as much as possible. For this main reason, I held several key employee work-study positions on campus and was president of two different clubs, Delta Mu Delta International Business Society and Rotaract Club, as well as the vice president of the WNMU Marketing Club,"

He and his wife, Jazmin, who grew up in Silver City have four sons.

He graduated with business degrees in accounting and marketing, and had an opportunity to participate in the training program for financial advisors with Edward Jones in Tempe, AZ.

The Southwest Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC) is collaborating with the Bayard and Silver City Public Libraries with four outreach activities for youth. Silver City Public Library programs will be held on July 7, 8 and 9th with the Bayard Public Library program on July 21, 2026. All programs are from 2 pm to 4 pm. 

Sharing fiber art skills with youth is not only part of SWFAC's mission but empowers youth with skills. According to Scholastic.com, crafting helps build fine motor skills, boosts counting and pattern recognition, encourages critical thinking, builds resilience, supports self-esteem, encourages a creative mindset, and develops patience. 

At the Silver City Public Library on Tuesday, July 7, youth can make a basket. On Wednesday July 8, will be pinata making, and Thursday, July 9, youth can learn to sew and embroider on cards made at the Future Forge.

Las Cruces, NM — Today, State Representatives Micaela Lara Cadena (D-Mesilla), Angelica Rubio (D-Las Cruces), Eleanor Chávez (D-Albuquerque) and Senator Carrie Hamblen (D-Las Cruces) announced plans to introduce legislation establishing a statewide moratorium on large-scale data center development in New Mexico.

The proposed moratorium, to be introduced in the 2027 legislative session, would prohibit new large-scale data center projects in New Mexico, while the state develops a framework for evaluating water use, energy demand and emissions, ratepayer impact, and community benefits related to this industry. Lawmakers intend to couple this push with legislation to close the microgrid loophole and protect the data security of New Mexicans.

Please join us in Silver City on July 22, 2026 where the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC) is hosting an application workshop to help eligible entities and interested applicants understand the Unit Fund Pilot Cycle II application process, navigate the online application portal, and ask clarifying questions about eligibility, policy requirements, and next steps.   Details can be found in the attached flyer.

Galapagos Hawk - Karen Hymer,Tides and Currents: a photographic installation by Karen Hymer.

Karen Hymer, a Silver City artist and owner of Light Art Space gallery, is featured in the Flash Gallery from July 2 through August 22nd. Tides and Currents is a photographic installation featuring images from the Galapagos Islands, presented on handmade paper, silk, and by projection. The ocean has long served as an ancient symbol of the unconscious. As a metaphor, tides and currents frame emotional shifts, life transitions, and the timing of opportunities. This installation invites viewers to contemplate humanity's relationship with the earth and with animals, past and present.

Reception Friday, July 3rd, 5 – 7 pm

In the North Gallery, we present Light Dreams, a juried exhibition of alternative/historical photographic processes. Juror Jill Enfield, a fine art photographer and author from New York, chose thirty-three works by nineteen artists from across the country.  Light Dreams invites artists to explore light not only as a physical phenomenon, but as an internal, psychological, and symbolic presence. The pairing of light and dreams suggests a space where conscious perception and subconscious experience overlap—where memory, imagination, and emotion shape how light is seen, felt, and interpreted.
