Carson’s young artistic talent was on full display Saturday as the annual Northern Nevada Children’s Art Reception returned to the Artsy Fartsy Creative Center in downtown Carson City.

The weekend has arrived, and it will be an exceptionally long one for the schoolkids of Carson City: spring break begins Monday. There’s a rumor of snowfall for this weekend, but it’s not expected to be too heavy in the valley. Don’t quote me on that, though, I’ve been wrong before. Break a leg to the Douglas students performing in ‘Game of Tiaras’ this weekend; the show sounds hilarious, but be warned, it’s not for kids. For a family friendly outing, check out Story Time with Suzie at the Nevada Railroad Museum, or photos with the Easter Bunny at PetSmart.

SATURDAY:

Whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction, you can master the steps you need in order to write your book. Each month features an in-depth lesson on a critical writing skill. You are invited to enroll and participate in a variety of fun and informative lessons each month. 

Bring paper and pen, a laptop, or your favorite device for writing. There will be in-class writing practice and opportunities to share and discuss topics in a safe and friendly environment.

Colleen Reynolds will teach the second in a series of four watercolor workshops, sponsored by the Artsy Fartsy Creative Center in Carson City. Each workshop is independent but reinforces skills learned in others. Designed for beginner to intermediate adult painters. Book soon! The first workshop sold out. On the first day, students will "play" with color and other watercolor supplies to learn technique. On the second day, we will paint from a beautiful flower bouquet and/or photos. Lunch provided.

When Artsy Fartsy owner Jeffery Pace moved his art gallery out of the tidy 400 square-foot cottage at Telegraph Square and into a Victorian home around the corner along Nevada Street, his plan was to keep the original building and turn it into an artist studio.

Adult beginning to intermediate level painters welcome. $180 for 12 hours of instruction + supplies + lunch. The first day will be focused on learning about paint and paper with fun exercises and no pressure. The second day, students will paint 1 or 2 paintings. Students take home all creative efforts produced. Colleen Reynolds has a BA of Fine Art, an MS degree in Education and over 7 years of experience teaching watercolor.

Tomorrow, I am going to paint the word FOCUS on the wall at the Creative Center on Telegraph Street, owned by Jeffrey Pace of Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery. Four months ago, I wrote an article about focus and how it works to achieve your goals in life. If you missed it, you can read it here. Do you notice something missing from the article?

When Jeffery Pace moved his Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery out of the tiny cottage on West Telegraph Street last month, he selected a space close by for a reason.

"We are expanding, not moving," Pace had said.
