New Art Gallery coming to the Old Bently Wool Building in Minden
Prism Photographics announces a major change to the current art gallery to become Carson Valley’s premier art gallery. The new Art Gallery@Prism, located inside the old Bently Wool Warehouse in Minden, will be featuring up to 30 regional artists from communities of Northern Nevada to the Sierra Nevada.
Highlighting the inaugural event will be a ribbon cutting on Friday, June 4 from 4-7pm. “This is all happening because of La Vonne La Tulip Vasick who is the brain-child of the gallery makeover. Without her, and her team, this would have been difficult for just myself to pull off, and I am very pleased to provide much needed gallery space for many talented artists” says Mike Miller, owner of Prism, who offers fine art reproduction and printing services.
Vasick, the new gallery director, states, “I am overwhelmed at the responses from so many talented, impressive and award-winning regional artists. We’ve had nearly 100 artists submit their request to show at the gallery.” Vasick was inspired to create Art Gallery@Prism because of the wide array of regional artists. “So much talent and so few opportunities for exposure,” states Vasick who has a background in the Cultural Arts Tourism for Nevada. “I envisioned a fresh look at regional art as a bonus for our local community.” The gallery promises to be a regional art hub offering fresh, monthly exhibitions and to offer a variety of art classes, events and talks relating to many mediums.
Vasick sought out a powerhouse team to join her in fulfilling her endeavor with artists Kristy Dial and Dana Childs, and photographers Kathy Port and Kim Hunter Steed. “This team is a rare combination of art business professionals,” says Vasick. “I feel I chose wisely and we have this amazing highly creative energy amongst us.” One of the overarching goals the team at Art Gallery@Prism has is to work with others in the community to draw tourism into town. “We want to be woven into the fabric of the Carson Valley art community by offering superior art and services to both art buyers, tourists and the local art community,” says gallery coordinator, Dana Childs. “We are honored and delighted to bring such fine art from the surrounding region into our home town.”
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Artist Reception is on June 4 from 4pm-7pm. The gallery is located across from Bently Heritage Estate Distillery - in the old brick Bently Wool Warehouse building on the corner of Buckeye and Hwy 395.
