An artist, craftsman, and entrepreneur, G.S. Garcia left an influence that is still felt around the world, especially in Elko, Nevada, where he had a shop from 1894 to 1935. A new competition for contemporary beatmakers will now honor his craftsmanship and creativity.
Garcias old saddle shop and home at 542 Commercial St., in downtown Elko, was restored to its original appearance and opened as the Cowboy Arts & Gear Museum last February in a partnership between John and Susan Wright, owners of J.M. Capriola Co., and NV Energy, as a tribute to Johns mother, Paul Bear. The Wrights and J.M. Capriola Co. are sponsoring a bit-making contest this year open to emerging and established craftsmen to benefit the museum.
