    DANETTE STEELE:
    Virginia City Characters

    Permanent Collection

    Virginia City is proudly known for its unique residents, merchants and "characters."  Several of these unique individuals are well known by locals and visitors alike.

    Danette Steele's watercolor exhibition of her chosen subjects draws viewers in to see the personalities of some of our great residents, former and present-day. View her body of work on the fourth floor, between the arts library and theatre. These characters are the perfect group to welcome guests to the top floor of this historic former hospital.
