The Silver State Art Festival, sponsored by the Nevada Gourd Society, is a collaborative gathering of several of the natural fine artistry entities in and around the state of Nevada. This festival is comprised of gourd art and basketry art as well as other fine art and fine craft media. Vendors in attendance will be displaying and selling artwork and art supplies. In addition, there will be classes for those interested a hands-on learning experience. Our goal is to have a fun and educational festival for all who want to know more about the beautiful world of the natural arts.

Classes
Are you interested in a hands-on experience? Take advantage of the many gourd and art classes we'll be offering during the 3 days of our festival. There will be a variety of classes teaching techniques that you can apply to your gourd art, including beading, carving, wood burning, doll making, basket weaving, ink dyes, acrylic pouring and more! In addition, there will be a woodturning class and a class on how to work with wire to create a beautiful copper bracelet. We will even have a gourd class designed especially for beginners!

Food and Drink
We will open the festival on Friday evening at 5 pm and we'll be serving wine to our patrons until 8 pm. We have also arranged to have a food truck on-site for Friday and Saturday. So plan to relax and partake in the delicious southwest cuisine of the Tacos Las Mission food truck.
