<img src=http://sonewmex.com/images/susangoeway.jpg hspace=5 align=right>Capitan, New Mexico: The Oso Art Gallery -- located at the corner of Smokey Bear Blvd and S. Lincoln Street in historic Capitan -- is one of that community's newest and oldest art galleries. If that seems an odd thing to say, perhaps it would help to know the owners of Oso Art have operated the original Oso Art Gallery in a restored adobe home a few doors east of their new location for years. But the new gallery - located in a meticulously rennovated old bank building - is much larger and more elaborate than the original location.
<a href=/modules.php?name=Content&file=viewarticle&id=250><img src=http://sonewmex.com/banners/oso_ad_3_horiz.gif align=left border=1 hspace=5></a>Goodness, what a lovely space that new gallery is! The place has real class. The bank building is several times larger than the gallery's original home and has been beautifully restored -- inside and out. Oso Gallery #2 is filled with remarkable art, artworks and hand-made items created by dozens of talented artists from around Lincoln County and southeastern New Mexico. In fact the gallery is living testimony to the skills of New Mexico artists -- especially the artists of Lincoln County. Even the tables and display cases that furnish the gallery are either handcrafted works created by a local artisan or collectible antiques in their own right. The gallery is as lovely as the art that fills it and the two compliment each other nicely to create one of Lincoln County's most impressive art venues.
It only takes a moment of peeking through the windows or stepping through the door at Oso Art to see what we mean. You're going to love the place. The owners and staff have done a remarkable job. You'll find it a pleasant spot to view and enjoy the creative skills of southeastern New Mexico's artists.
So, when you plan your next visit to Capitan, be sure to add a stop at the new Oso Art Gallery to your agenda. We promise you'll enjoy your time there. And do tell them Steppin' Out says, "Hi!", please.
