TRUCKEE, Calif. – ELEMENTS: Our Region, a new art installation inspired by the natural elements of the Eastern Sierra, is coming to the Truckee Community Recreation Center March 9, hosted by the Truckee Public Arts Commission.
The exhibit will feature art in a large variety of mediums, 2D and 3D: paintings, drawings, sculptures and photography. The theme of the exhibit draws on the rivers, mountains, snows and winds, and even the road signs and grocery store lines, that define the Truckee-Tahoe region.
"The place we call home is made up of an alchemy of familiar elements that inspire, from the Truckee River Canyon to Donner Summit, blizzard snows, to summer thunder, road signs to Safeway lines,” said Lauren Bello, Co-Chair of the Truckee Public Arts Commission. “The Truckee Public Arts Commission is excited to present works from local artists that have their genesis in the familiar sights of home."
An opening reception will be held on March 9 from 5-7pm at the Community Recreation Center. The gallery will be open from March 9 through the month of June. This event is free and open to the public and will feature artworks from local artists.
