Silver City Arts’ Holiday Show and Sale With Music, Craft Making, and Treats

Silver City Arts group's Saturday December 7 holiday event from noon until 4pm includes music by cellists Diane Kotik and Becky Crowe, a free holiday craft activity for all ages, and complimentary sweets. The event also includes opportunities to buy unique gifts made by Comstock artists and artisans. Some of the items for sale include:

Prints of Larry Kotik’s beautiful paintings. Kotik’s best known work may be his 12 foot by 84 foot mural inside Dayton Elementary School showing historic Comstock scenes. Here's your chance to have a print of his remarkable artwork.

Multi-talented artist Marielle Toll’s handcrafted jewelry. Toll incorporates wood, wire and bone into her unique creations. Her artwork has been selected for exhibitions such as the Wild Women Artists “Many Moons” show in Reno, and she was awarded an artist residency in Silver City in 2017.

Silver City Nightlights. Silver City native Theo McCormick takes photos of the town and uses a 3D printer to create images that he attaches to night lights. The night lights could be the perfect gift for someone who loves the Comstock region.

Greeting Cards by Robert Elston.

Make Your Own Ornament: As an added treat, people of all ages are invited to join Erich and Chali Haugen at their craft making table. They'll provide everything you need, plus instructions, for making your own Christmas ornament.
