This upcoming weekend is going to be a fun one! If you happen to be in Nevada, and you happen to be going to the Genoa Candy Dance Art & Crafts Faire, please be sure to stop by The Genoa Gallery (thegenoagallery.com) for their Grand Opening during the Faire.
The Genoa Gallery is a brand new gallery owned by some friends of mine, and I will be one of the exhibiting artists there. A few of my photos on canvas will be there, as well as many smaller unframed prints, the perfect souvenir size. I will be bringing down extra canvas prints for this weekend's fun, and I will be at the gallery both Saturday and Sunday.
Above is a quick cell phone photo I shot in July, when I visited the soon to be gallery. It is located in the unit on the far left, I haven't been since it's been converted into the gallery so I am really looking forward to seeing the changes this weekend.

Ok, now for a little info about the Candy Dance Art & Crafts Faire, from their website:
Upcoming: 2021 Genoa Candy Dance
SEPTEMBER 25 & 26, 2021
A number of special events occur throughout the year in Genoa, but none are more significant than the annual Genoa Candy Dance Arts & Crafts Faire. This event, which boasts over 300 arts and crafts, activity, and food vendors, draws thousands of people to Genoa during the two-day event.
The original Genoa Candy Dance and Dinner fundraiser in 1919 was held by the ladies of the town to pay for the purchase of street lights for Genoa. After the lights were purchased, it became necessary to continue the fundraising to cover the cost of the electricity, and in 1974 the Arts & Crafts Faire was added to the event. The Genoa Candy Dance tradition continues to support the Town of Genoa today, and just as it was a hundred years ago, today's event is made possible through the invaluable efforts of volunteers.
