November is here, and we are thrilled to present three new exhibitions, a book launch, and a basket celebration!
In the North gallery, we feature “How Did I Get Here From There” by Diane Kleiss. Diane, one of Silver City’s premier artists, paints and sculpts with beeswax, an ancient encaustic medium that she pours, carves, and molds. In her series “Flights of Fancy”, Diane explores her interest in ravens, inspired by their intelligence and curiosity. Drawing from cultural myths about women flying, as well as her own dreams, she created a three-part sculpture called “When Women Were Birds.” Her work continually follows new inspirations, guided by her passion.
In addition to the exhibition of Diane’s artwork, we are pleased to present the launch of her memoir, Learning to Fly, an artist’s journey. Join us for the reception on Friday, November 7, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The exhibition will run from November 7th to November 16th, 2025.
