The Carson Valley Art Gallery Association will be hosting a rare opportunity for art lovers to enjoy the art of seven different galleries in one location during the Minden Street Fair, Saturday and Sunday. The CVAGA will be occupying the CVIC Hall in Minden on Esmeralda Street during this event, with booths from the galleries of Genoa, Minden and Gardnerville. Each gallery will exhibit selected work from their galleries: from original fine art by artists from around the nation to textiles and 3D art from around the world. Art connoisseurs who have not had the opportunity to take an afternoon and visit the individual galleries can get an idea of what is available at each of the different locations, and then decide which galleries to spend more time visiting in the future. The show will be the CVAGA's September's "2nd Saturday" art event.

The Carson Valley Art Gallery Association was recently formed to better promote the art of Carson Valley to tourist areas throughout Northern Nevada and California. Currently, the association is developing an art tour brochure for the Carson Valley, along with planning upcoming advertising and events for the area. "2nd Saturday" will be an ongoing event in which each gallery will present artist demonstrations, special sales and refreshments each 2nd Saturday of the month during gallery business hours.
