The Nevada Gourd Society is hosting its 6th Annual Silver State Art Festival, September 6-8, 2024 at the Fuji Exhibit Hall in Carson City, NV. This festival is a gathering of over 40 award-winning artists focused on sharing their art with our community. Artists from Nevada and California will be displaying their gourd art, paintings, photography, jewelry, woodworking and much more.
In addition, there will be art classes for those interested in 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.
This INDOOR festival is being held at the Fuji Exhibit Hall in beautiful Carson City, Nevada. Click here to view the address and a map of this location.

The 2024 Raffle and Silent Auction
We will have another huge raffle this year with many, many wonderful prizes.
The Nevada Humane Society of Northern Nevada will be our recipient for this year's fundraising efforts. We are anticipating a great response from our community in supporting this great organization.
Previous year: Thanks to the support and generosity of our artists, businesses, and the community, in 2023 we were able to donate $15,000 to the Nevada Humane Society.
We'd like to give special thanks to Nevada State Bank for their continued sponsorship and support for our festival.
