Silver City -- The Silver City Museum's current exhibit, the Life and Times of Arturo Flores, is featured in the March 17 issue of the Santa Fe New Mexican's arts and leisure magazine, Pasatiempo, and reached national recognition as part of a major feature on the role of women during the 1950 Empire Zinc Mine strike in the March issue of the iconic magazine, The Nation.
"It's so gratifying to see the Flores exhibit receive attention from one of the widest read publications in the state, but also to be included in such an important piece about the role and power of women who stepped onto the picket lines during the Empire Zinc Mine strike," said Bart Roselli, museum director. "Staff and volunteers worked so hard to make this exhibit what it is, and I'm so grateful that their efforts have been recognized in such significant ways, far beyond Grant County."
On display in the museum's Dodge Gallery through August, the exhibit features much more than Flores' front-line photographic account of the Empire Zinc strike, but also offers insights into the life of this hard-working man, veteran, father, activist and artist, whose actions helped shape history.
