Steel City Art Works is set to host its “New Year, New Beginnings” art exhibit in January at the gallery, 216 S. Union Ave.
Among the work of more than 40 local artists on exhibit throughout the month will be the wire weave jewelry of Pueblo Artist Kathy Chavez. For Chavez, her journey into artistry began as a child, when “my Nana taught me how to work with yarn and create beautiful scarves.
