Exhibit to showcase traditional art forms
The Comstock History Center will feature 22 artists at the One Is Silver, the Other Is Gold: Celebrating 25 Years of Nevada Folklife Apprenticeships exhibit.
Each recognized master is encouraged to work with one or more dedicated apprentices so their traditional art forms and personal contributions endure.
The artists come from a range of tribal, ethnic, cultural, and occupational groups found throughout Nevada. They include artists from among the indigenous Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe peoples and ranchers, miners, loggers, and railroad workers. They also include more recent immigrants from all parts of North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
The exhibit is Aug. 1-Sept. 28 at the Comstock History Center, 20 N. E St.,Virginia City. It is open Thursday-Sunday, 11am-4pm. It is free.
