Northern Nevada Artisan Show and Sale
Refuge from politics features painters, photographers, basket makers and more
More than thirty artists from Northern Nevada including Reno, Carson City and Sparks — several nationally known-— will be featured at the 22th annual Reno Artisan Show and Sale Nov. 4 and 5 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Admission is free and 25 pieces of original art will be given away.
“Every year we invite some of the best artists in Northern Nevada to exhibit at our show,” says chairperson Julie Sulahria. “It’s always held on the first weekend in November as an opportunity to purchase creative, original holiday gifts.
“But this year, the show happens to start four days before the election, so we’re calling it our refuge from politics, a campaign-free zone.”
The work on display will include jewelry, basketry, watercolors, photography, pottery, stained glass, mosaics, paper products, unique art dolls, scarves, wood turning, textiles, candles and more. Artists come from Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Washoe Valley and other areas of Northern Nevada.
According to Sulahria, the juried show features returning artists and new artists displaying a variety of techniques and media.
“We invite everyone to enjoy a few calm hours — away from politics,” says Sulahria, “at a place where they can relax and browse among exquisite fine art, jewelry, pottery and more. The range of prices makes the show a very affordable place for holiday shopping.”
Hours for the free art show will be 2 to 8 p.m. Nov. 4 (Friday) and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 5 (Saturday). Wine and appetizers will be served at the opening reception Nov. 4 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Jewelry, pottery, photos, paintings, basketry, and stained glass will be among the 25 works of art to be given away at the show. A raffle drawing will be held both days and the winner will not need to be present.
MasterCard and Visa will be accepted for all purchases.
The show will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 780 Del Monte Lane in Reno, just off the Neil Road or Meadowood Mall exits from I-580.
