A collaboration between Mommy and Emsley

Emsley came to the studio with a book that she had picked out at the library when she got her first library card earlier. Birds! She and her mommy did these little bird drawings together. When I asked Emsley for a comment, she responded with a Thumbs Up!

Call for Participation

NV Awe: Tiny Treasures is a statewide collaboration project that will be shown at Reno Tahoe International Art Show September 2024. Curated by Candace Garlock

Critical writing has an important role in helping viewers understand works of art. Artists in Nevada recognize this and want to support these amazing writers. The idea behind this collaboration project came from a group of artists hanging around my “Bird Chatter” booth during the RTIA (Reno Tahoe International Art Show 2023). I remember saying “If I win the Best of Show category, I want to use the winnings to fund a space for a collaboration. The project will be statewide to showcase how amazing Nevada artists are and it will have a collaborative component to it.  The work will not belong to any one person and all the works will be donated to Double Scoop.  Proceeds from the sales will go to help fund arts writing in Nevada.”  I did win. So now I’m asking you ALL to participate in this project.

Double Scoop is Nevada’s go-to source for visual arts news, commentary, and events. Visit https://www.doublescoop.art to learn more.
