Silver City, NM (May 22, 2017) - The Silver City Arts & Cultural District is pleased to share some of the media attention Silver City has been receiving lately, both regionally and nationally.

A recent article in the April issue of Edible Santa Fe, the annual travel issue, features an article titled "Handmade in Silver City." Publisher, Stephanie Cameron, in collaboration with Instagram duo Caitlin Jenkins and Amy Tischler of @TravelNewMexico, visited Silver City for two days back In February. The article mentions a number of Silver City's colorful dining options, including the newly opened Revel, Mi Mexico Viejo, Little Toad Creek Brewery & Distillery, and 1zero6. Additionally, a handful of Silver City's local businesses also are featured in the article, such as Sygyzy Tile, Power and Light Press, the Murray Hotel, and A Space Studio Art Gallery. Arriving on Territorial Charter Day weekend, the group rounded out their trip with a hike on Boston Hill and a short tour around La Capilla.

"We are thrilled about the recent media attention Silver City has been receiving, as it directly benefits tourism in our town. People hear about the town through these different avenues and then typically do their own research online - which is why we are so pleased to have rolled out our new website www.visitsilvercity.org this past fall! We have already received a number of compliments on it. Of course, we also have an active social media presence, which is super important nowadays."

In addition to the story in Edible Santa Fe, Silver City has recently been recognized in publications such as True West and Sunset magazines as a top western town, as well as Expedia.com.
