Aldea Gallery has recently relocated and reopened at 217 N. Bullard Street in the downtown Arts District.
The gallery, owned by Brent and Donna Flenniken, 20-year residents of Silver City, was established in mid-2020 around the corner from the newer location.
A Grand Opening for Aldea Gallery will be held on Friday, August 6 , from 2 to 5 p.m. Everyone in Grant County who is interested in art is invited to attend.
Aldea Gallery carries a wide variety of fine art and folk art by seven accomplished artists. The collection for the upcoming show includes:
Vibrant and highly imaginative paintings, prints, and cards by Brent Flenniken, a multi-media artist who taught art at a Texas college and at the Instituto de Allende in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
Colorful heirloom quilts, art quilt tapestries, baby quilts, and Christmas items by Donna Flenniken, a folk artist, along with her Mexican-inspired, hand-painted furniture, and original jewelry.
Beautiful watercolors by John Glass, an award-winning artist who lives in the Florita Mountains near Deming, NM; his work, much of it featuring the Southwest U.S., ranges from realistic to abstract.
The latest work of well-known local potter Kate Brown, including popular dragonfly, sun, star, tree, turnip, and other designs, along with her newest line inspired by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Breathtaking abstract oil paintings by SR Mattoose, a newcomer to New Mexico, whose work has been widely shown in the U.S. and Mexico, and will be seen in Silver City for the first time.
One-of-a-kind wall sculptures by Stuart Goldberg, an established Tucson, Arizona potter, who has created art mostly from “found” objects he’s discovered during summers spent in Silver City.
Delicate, original jewelry by part-time Silver City resident, Christine Baker, who until recently sold her work only at her store, “Christine’s”, at the Lajita’s Golf Resort in Texas’ Big Bend Country.
Aldea Gallery’s regular hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
