Silver State Art Festival coming to Carson City's Fuji Park Sept. 13-15
The 2019 Silver State Art Festival is the third annual gathering in Carson City of award-winning gourd artists, painters, photographers, wood, glass and metal artists and from all over the Southwest. The festival runs Sept. 13-15 at Fuji Exhibit Hall, Park & Pavilion in Carson City.
Join us on Friday evening for a glass of wine and early holiday shopping. All of the artists will be on hand to chat with and you can learn about their inspiration and techniques.
Organizers are also offering 3 days of classes on how to create art with gourds, how to do a little weaving, make a necklace, wood turn a writing pen, and even tye-dye a scarf. Our experienced instructors will be sharing their knowledge in many different techniques. For class descriptions and to register, visit: Nevada Gourd Society.
For folks who may not be interested in taking a class but want to have a hands-on experience with gourds, there will be a “Make and Take” booth for adults and children of all ages.
There will also be a raffle to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada with over 50 exciting prizes donated by local businesses and local artists. All of the funds raised will be matched by the Joseph Kalt and Judy Gans Family Foundation. No need to be present to win.
In the last two years, thanks to the support of our community, we have donated over $7,000.00 to Advocates to End Domestic Violence, Kids and Horses, and Holiday with a Hero.
While you are “out and about” the weekend of Sept. 13-15, stop by our festival to do a little early holiday shopping, experience all of the wonderful art and culture Carson City has to offer, and buy a raffle ticket or two to support the Boys and Girls Club. We hope to see you there!
The Nevada Gourd Society, a non-profit organization, was established in 2016 and currently has over 100 members. Within the Nevada Gourd Society, the Great Basin Gourd Patch represents Northern Nevada and the Pahrump Valley Gourd Patch represents Southern Nevada.
