WNC Juried High School Show

Staff report -- Marie Nygren is having a great time showing off the art gallery at the Western Nevada College Fallon Campus. Last week she closed the High School Juried show, and this week prepares a show for the WNC art students. Both Oasis Academy and CCHS students submitted their work that was juried by art teachers Jamie Scheaffer and Anne Johnson. There were 48 artists featured in the WNC gallery and many attended the closing reception Thursday night. “We’re bringing life back to WNC and with the gallery trying to bring more people to the campus,” said Marie Nygren. She also has a show scheduled later this summer that will feature Lori Bishop and friends, who have been holding art classes at the Life Center. “We keep thinking of ways to bring people to the gallery and use it to draw the community to campus,” said Nygren. The next reception will be May 9^th at 5:30 p.m. for the WNC student show.                                     Support local, independent news – contribute to The Fallon Post, your non-profit (501c3) online news source for all things Fallon.
