The art in our gallery features artists from Nevada and California.
Our shows change approximately every six weeks.

four times a year. These judged shows are a great opportunity for
artists to win ribbons and cash awards.

A T-shirt may also feature one of the designs submitted. The entry deadline is April 1, 2021. Participation is free.

The artwork will be judged by the Jazz & Beyond committee. The winner of the competition will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Jazz & Beyond-Carson City Music and Art Festival and a cash award of $100. Alexander Cassimus, art project chair, said, “The artist’s work will be front and center, viewed by thousands of festival patrons.”
