As the idiom goes, those who can, do, and those who can't, teach.

Then there's Merrill and Jo Moore, who do both.

The Carson City couple learned to throw clay four years ago through a local studio, and now are ready to pass on what they've learned by opening their own pottery studio inside the Carson Mall.

This fundraiser for the Brewery Arts Center (BAC) was made possible by seven BAC Pottery Studio potters who got together earlier this year and went crazy making mugs with the BAC logo on them.

As the holiday season approaches, Charlie Blim, owner of Charlie B Gallery, advises going into local shops rather than big box stores.

“I’ve got stuff made by actual humans,” he said. “All that other stuff is made by machines.”

But when customers come into his shop, he’s not pushing to make a sale. He’s got a bigger goal in mind.
“Art changed my life,” he said. “If they take the time to learn the history, learn about the artist, it could change their lives too. It’s not just about buying stuff.”

After collecting as many pottery bowls as possible throughout the year, the local Empty Bowls Project is holding its annual fundraiser Friday, Dec. 2 at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Carson City to deliver a blow to hunger in the community.

Ancient Lake Lahontan submerged much of northwest Nevada for thousands of years. Surprisingly, northern Nevadans now live and work in the basin of that once immense lake. Over the years, many geologists have produced many publications documenting the lake level, shoreline features, foliage and weather of the period. Until now, no one has ever seen a photograph of Ancient Lake Lahontan.

The Carson Mall Fine Arts Faire has a powerful synergy of businesses working together and artist advocacy to provide a visual arts show for the Carson City community.

On November 3, 4 and 5, the Carson Mall located at 1313 South Carson Street, Carson City will be hosting the first ever Fine Arts Faire, which will include the work of over 25 artists from primarily Northern Nevada and as far away as Kalispell, Montana.
