“Postcards From the Edge (of Nevada)” Our Center Reno
2026-02-26 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | McKinley Arts and Culture Center, 925 Riverside Drive, Reno, NV, 89503, United States
Reno, NV- A community art gallery featuring queer artists and their words of hope.
Postcards From the Edge (of Nevada) is a community-driven exhibition that invites queer artists and allies to
reflect on place, identity, and survival at the margins. Using the humble postcard as both artwork and message,
this exhibition transforms personal expression into a shared act of connection—one that crosses distance,
isolation, and silence.
At the edge of geography, culture, and visibility, queer communities in Nevada have long cultivated resilience
through creativity, humor, tenderness, and mutual support. This exhibition honors those lived experiences by
creating space for artists of all backgrounds to speak directly to the queer community—past, present, and
future—through words and images meant to be held, sent, and remembered.
Postcards From the Edge (of Nevada) is not just a collection of artworks, but a living archive of care. Each
postcard becomes a gesture of solidarity, a reminder that even at the edge, we are not alone.
“At Our Center, we are dedicated to creating and supporting inclusive programs for the entire LGBTQ+
community. This includes offering support groups for youth and adult trans members, community groups for
seniors, and prevention-focused initiatives.”

“Reno Mug Shots: vessels, possibly made for drinking, inspired by Reno” The Wedge Ceramic Studios
2026-02-26 17:00 - 19:00
The artists at the Wedge Ceramics Studio are thrilled to present Reno Mug Shots: vessels, possibly made for
drinking, inspired by Reno. Making mugs is something all ceramic artists take comfort, joy, and pride in, each
for their own reasons. This is not unlike living in Reno and Northern Nevada, where we delight in Reno each in
our own way, making it our own, stamping it with our signature. But our individual marks, left on mugs, left on
our town, can really only be understood when seen as a whole, as if we’re all working towards the same
unknown goal.
Our mugs represent what Reno means to us, the storied past, shared present, and an always uncertain but
collaborative and communal future. Fill your cup up with whatever you want, for what you get out of Reno is a
magnification and reflection of what you put in.
“The Wedge Ceramics Studio was started in September 2011 by Sutter and Samantha Stremmel. Moving back
to Reno after graduating from Montana State University, they bemoaned the fact there was no place to play with
clay unless you were currently institutionalized in school or classes.”
“Over a decade later, we have become an institution ourselves. We are an ever growing, always dynamic,
entropic studio in a 5000 sq. ft. industrial warehouse turned ceramics studio. Sam and Sutter now work together
to operate their respective, neighboring businesses, the Wedge and Sierra Water, an indoor plant shop next door
in the warehouse at 2055 Dickerson Rd. We are excited to be a part of Dickerson Road’s family of artists.”
