Weekend at the Galleries kicked off with an art sale and wine and beer tasting at Seedboat Gallery. In spite of chilly and periodic inclement weather a good number of people partook of the festivities to see some art.
The theme of the kick-off event to raise money for the Mimbres Region Arts Council, which hosts the events during the weekend, was "When Pigs Fly." Artists from the area presented their take on the theme.
The event continued Saturday, with gallery receptions, and on Sunday for visitors to continue to peruse the art.
WAG continues Monday on Columbus Day. Galleries will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for visitors and area residents to find that piece they can't live without.
