I was surprised I hadn't heard about the Artists Co-Op before today! I learned about it from…read moreanother art group here in Reno and decided to check out the reception they were having for an exhibition entitled, "The Art of Words." When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a kind lady who told me a bit about the co-op. I learned they have a new exhibition every month but display current members' art all the time. I had the feeling that the members have been a part of this for many years. I headed on back to the exhibition and passed through several rooms on the way there where I saw the members' artworks. When I reached the back room for the exhibition, I spent some time admiring how some artists interpreted "The Art of Words." I was mostly impressed with the pieces that were actually made out of the pages of books like dioramas. When a member and I chatted about portraits (which I enjoy painting), I was a little disappointed to learn they would never hold an exhibition of portraiture because "portraits don't sell." I'll keep an eye out for future exhibitions though, because I enjoy supporting local artists.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure last October to get in touch with our inner artist and take one of the more unique class offerings with the talented Ms. Teresa for the wine and beer stein painting class. For $30 we had four wine glasses that we could paint whatever our hearts desired. With it being October and the weather in true form of Fall all around us we chose to paint a few in All Hallowes Eve theme and for my other two I got a little more adventurous with our teacher Teresa's guidance and painted purple flowers. My girlfriend got very artistic with Teresa's help and painted her favorite Football team, one in Old Saint Nick themed and her final one to reminder her to SIP HAPPY hehe We had an AMAZING girls night out, Teresa is an OUTSTANDING teacher, beyond patient and helpful and gosh it's been wayyyyy too long, time to get back in there! With Fall around the corner time to grab my girlfriend and paint a picture, a beer stein or maybe one of the cute ceramics Teresa has in her wonderful studio. Happy Yelping!

We had such an INCREDIBLE time that I assured the girl I talked to at the end that I'll be coming back year after year that they do this event. I truly hope they continue to host more fun events like this as I would love to sign up for them all. We got to dress up as well as enjoy everyone else's creative costumes. I really enjoyed getting to choose a costume for this event. The decorations around the mansion were spooky and cute. The live music set a perfect mood, as well as the yummy snacks floating around. I didn't try many as they didn't really have any vegetarian options, but my boyfriend let me know they were tasty. I did try the chocolate "bugs" at the end which were creative and yummy. The drink competition was a whole bunch of fun. That was a huge highlight of the night. Four local bars competed for a chance to win best cocktail- we all tried, voted, and celebrated. I really enjoyed that they also had a bartender there for other drinks after the samples. Surprisingly, some events fail to provide casual drinks and it keeps the evening/event flowing much more smoothly when you're not worried about being thirsty or hungry. The sparkling waters in between the wine was also very appreciated, I truly feel more comfortable with my favorite drinks of sparkling water and wine in hand (clearly). We got to do a quick craft downstairs and mod podge some tissue paper onto candle votives which was a fun activity and also let us go home with a memory of the night. It's also something that holds sentimental value but is usable, so again is appreciated. There was also a silent auction with wonderful items. I bid on many things and won a class pass for yoga. I enjoyed this because there were so many great options, and you got to see them all at once with no pressure. This night was so special, I can't say enough great things about it. So much fun and all for a great cause. Thank you again for the best possible night Arts for All Nevada. I hope to see you again soon!

The experience was made even more special by the fancy concoctions offered by several local drink establishments including the Emerson and a silent raffle! We loved moving around the mansion, sampling drinks, and learning bits of Reno's history. The candle votive decorating was also a fun, simple activity that we enjoyed doing together while munching on delicious snacks. Since our visit, I've been exploring other offerings by Arts for All Nevada and am excited to sign my son up for some events this winter.

They had people hovering if we had questions. I thought the painting we did would match what was shown online. It was slightly different, but not a biggie.
