The City of Reno Senior Citizen Advisory Committee, in partnership with the City of Reno Arts and Culture department, will honor the creativity of Reno’s Seniors with the third annual Senior Art Show at the historic McKinley Arts & Culture Center located at 925 Riverside Drive in Reno. The exhibit will be on display throughout Older Americans Month, which is celebrated in May.
Individuals age 60 and older are invited to submit entries for the Senior Art Show on April 16 and 17, at McKinley Arts & Culture Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The gallery space is programmed for the public and all artwork must be appropriate for this setting.
All types of artistic media will be considered for display. The gallery is best suited for
two-dimensional works (no larger than 24 in width and 10 pound max) and small three-dimensional works (no larger than 17 x 17 inch base) that can be placed on
pedestals. Paintings, photography, drawings, or prints must be framed with a back wire. Should you have any questions about how to wire your art, check out this step-by-step how-to with photos.
The exhibit will be on display and open to the public from April 22 to June 7, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the McKinley East and the West Gallery at the McKinley Arts & Culture Center, with an artist reception held on May 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
