Mission Statement
The Silver City Arts and Cultural District is a distinctive area in Silver City where historic architecture, an excellent eclectic mix
of design, niche businesses, and a concentration of artistic and cultural activities foster civic pride, provide opportunities for
local creative enterprise, and contribute to a unique, authentic, and stimulating experience for residents and visitors.
is a collaborative partnership of diverse individuals and
organizations throughout Grant County that encourages
the preservation of historic assets, excellence in arts
and cultural education and enterprise, affirmative
cross-cultural communication, and vibrant cultural
tourism. The ACD Coordinating Council provides:

creative enterprise
(2) an inventory (or clearinghouse) of resources,
services and events for developing and promoting local
artists and arts programs, cultural entrepreneurs, and
arts and cultural educators
(3) an advocate for civic support and engagement in
local art and cultural activity.
