A retrospective exhibition of her work is showcased in our 1st and 3rd floor galleries. Please come meet Sandy and learn what 30+ years on the Comstock has meant to her, our community and her work.
An impressive number of Dayton High School students have won the prestigious Scholastic Art Awards from the Nevada Museum of Art. This diverse body of work by seventeen of the winning artists is featured in our 2nd floor galleries and not to be missed.
Sharon Leong and Anne Leong of the bay area have shared their stunning works with us in the 4th floor galleries. Anne's photography work is both direct and mysterious. Sharon's paintings are from her Haunted Series which pays tribute to her paranormal passions and experiences.
