A reception with refreshments is open to the public on June 15, 3-7 PM at the Old Mill on Sudderth in Ruidoso. Art enthusiasts can meet the artists and see examples of their work during the reception.

The Old Mill is an historic building, erected in 1868, and is still used to grind corn. It is becoming a favorite site for gatherings because of the unique atmosphere of the adobe building.
Some members of Art in the Pines belong to the Ruidoso Regional Council for the Arts, which provides them with the opportunity to exhibit in the annual Treasures of Sierra Blanca Art Show in December and the fun mARTi-gras each February. In addition, some of the members display their work in the numerous galleries of Lincoln County.
Art is fast becoming one of the major reasons to visit this beautiful summer and winter resort area in the pines.
