Join us for the Opening of Visibility Through Art at the Rood, as part of Art in Public Spaces, a new partnership between Nevada County Arts Council and the County of Nevada. We are combining this important event with our monthly Creatives Meetup, as a collaboration with the Nevada City Rancheria and California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project (CHIRP).

The exhibition will feature work from CHIRP’s extensive Visibility Through Art collection, which is inspired by the Nevada City Rancheria’s desire to engage local artists to authentically represent the Nisenan’s rich but nearly forgotten history in Nevada County. A community art initiative produced annually as part of CHIRP's Arts and Culture Program, Visibility Through Art is an intentional and informed collaboration between local artists and members of the Tribe, through which a theme or subject of importance to the Tribe is explored, culminating in an annual exhibition.

This year's VTA exhibit selection features Artworks by: Alyssa Walz, Andy Cerrona, Fabienne Annick, Jenny Hale, Jessa Hurst, Leilani Webb, Lori Lachman, Maile Claire, Mira Clark, Nikila Badua, R. Rehrer, Rama Cryer, Ron Kenedi, Sarah Thomas, Saree Robinson, Shelly Covert, Ursula X Young

Nevada County Arts Council’s monthly meetups for creatives are held on the first Thursday of each month, co-hosted at a new location throughout the Grass Valley–Nevada City Cultural District. Meetups serve as an opportunity for artists, culture bearers, and the community to come together and inspire one another, and for the Council to share invaluable information such as upcoming grant opportunities, free resources and important news on the arts.
