Sierra Arts Fall Art Sale, September 15!

Posted by sierraweb on September 5, 2007

RENO, NV – The highly anticipated Sierra Arts Fall Art Sale is scheduled for Saturday, September 15, outdoors on the City Plaza at 10 N. Virginia Street, (corner of First and Virginia Streets), in downtown Reno from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. In cooperation with the City of Reno, Sierra Arts will feature more than 45 regional fine artists, brought together in one venue for one day, to display their passions in a variety of media to include pottery, photography, oils, watercolors, glass, fiber, jewelry, printmaking, sculpture, gourds and mixed media works. The public is invited to purchase these one-of-a-kind pieces of work such as hand woven scarves, ceramic vases and tableware, gourds and vessels, gemstone necklaces and belts.

Sierra Arts presents these artists’ work to the public as part of the largest art sale of the year. 75% of all artwork proceeds are retained by the artists, while the remaining 25% of the proceeds go to Sierra Arts as a donation to support the many programs and community projects the local arts agency creates throughout the year.

The majority of artwork is priced at $100 or less but varies according to artist. Local restaurants, coffee houses and parking is all close by. The Sierra Arts Fall Art Sale presents itself as the perfect opportunity to shop for the holiday and is an established favorite shopping excursion for many people in town for the Reno Air Races. Local residents eagerly look forward to it as well.
