Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery
First up was Artsy Fartsy Gallery. Jeffery Pace is the mastermind behind the gallery bringing together a community of artists and art lovers to create a vibrant space to explore the beauty of creation. Located in a historic building, Artsy Fartsy Gallery is a must-see gallery when visiting Carson City.
With over 80 local and international artists represented at Artsy Fartsy, you will find something you will love; in fact, you will find many things you will love. You will see Artistic Glass, Pottery, Paintings, jewelry, and more at Artsy Fartsy.
Be sure to take a few moments to visit with Jeffery Pace. His enthusiasm for art and artists is incredible.
Here are some photos, but truthfully, you should experience the gallery in person to get the energy of this beautiful place firsthand.

Capitol City Arts Initiative’s Courthouse Gallery
The Capitol City Arts Initiative, or the CCAI for short, operates exhibitions in 4 galleries in Carson City. The CCAI has been supporting the arts and artists for 19 years. I look forward to finding out more about the CCAI.
The current exhibit is Samuel Osheroff’s Plastic Musings, an interesting mixed-media exhibit with clever use of fabrics.
Here is a quote from the artist.
“I try to investigate not how a painting looks, or if it’s well rendered in the traditional sense, but rather, what makes that painting work, and why. There’s a feeling, a reaction inside, one gets when looking at works of art, whether good or bad, and I’m trying to understand how to harness and manipulate the fragments of a painting that can dictate and curate those feelings.”

Nevada Artists Association
With well over 120 members Nevada Artists Association is one of the larger artist organizations in northern Nevada. The gallery always feels energized with a new themed show every six weeks. This is a great group to belong to if you desire to show your work and get critical feedback.
This is one of Michelle’s top galleries. Check out Nevada Artists Association and see what you think.
Here are some photos for you to get a feel for the gallery.

Brewery Arts Center
Our last stop was the Brewery Arts Center’s Gallery. From what I understand, the gallery has students’ and instructors’ art on exhibit. The Brewery Arts Center’s Gallery is located in a great historic building and is very active with classes and more.
