The Artesia Quilters Guild will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their annual exhibit with a reception at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 at the Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center. The public is invited to join the quilters for refreshments and enjoy the quilts on display. The exhibit features new works created by guild members, plus a pair of new acquisitions to the museum’s collection.

Also on display are textile inspired ceramics by Alana Codding and wall hangings that depict landscape scenes.
