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.

After more than five years in the tiny cottage at 220 West Telegraph Street, Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery is now displaying its works in a new and much larger space right around the corner at 405 N. Nevada Street in downtown Carson City.

The one thing scarier for a child than not being home at Christmas is to be fighting cancer at the same time.

But it's a reality for a number of Northern Nevada children and their families this year.

The Nevada State Railroad Museum and the Friends of the Nevada State Railroad Museum, have added an additional Santa Train ride for children in our community who are battling cancer on Dec. 17 in Carson City.

The final push is on to recognize local gallery, Artsy Fartsy, in a national competition. The national business movement Independent We Stand has declared Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery in Carson City among the quarter finalists for the 2016 Independent We Stand Small Business of the Year Award. Only 25 small businesses across America have made it to this round.

Carson City is awash with great little shops delivering up all sorts of goodies for your holiday gift list. Shop Small Saturday gives you a fantastic reason to go and check out the hidden gems right here in our valley.

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.”

Join Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery, LLC as we celebrate small businesses everywhere. We will be serving a nice wine tasting as well as locally made hand rolled chocolate truffles.

Some of our artists will be on hand to meet the community. There will be specials through out the day. So drop by Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery, shop locally and help support your local economy, while supporting "YOUR LOCAL ART GALLERY".
