VIRGINIA CITY TOURISM COMMISSION

Board Member Jay Carmona and our Executive Director also serve on the 5-person Virginia City Tourism Commission as officers, working with staff to ensure the vibrancy, culture, arts, business community, and residents of Virginia City and Gold Hill are successful and the tourism experience is exceptional.

Virginia City is well known as one of a select few national historic landmark districts, and a pivotal contributor to our pioneering, mining, and engineering history.  Known also for its rustic boardwalks, amazing architecture, and a wholly unique culture, Virginia City is like no other.  This small but mighty town offers world-class arts, history, and special events.

DUST AND WONDER TRAIL 

St. Mary's Art Center is proud to partner with Virginia City, Carson City, Carson Valley, and Travel Nevada to create the Dust and Wonder Trail, a collaborative and unifying nonprofit connecting art, history, and culture between our three amazing corners of northern Nevada.  Our Executive Director is a founding member and currently serves on the Dust and Wonder Trail Board.

This special nonprofit will debut its web and mobile app including itineraries, locations, public art program, and more in spring 2026.  Learn more here:  HERE.

 

The project was guided by a local steering committee made up of various members of the region including artists, museum and gallery staff, city/county/state officials, artisans as well as tourism officials. The project jumpstarts Travel Nevada's brand-new focus on destination development to expand the state's tourism infrastructure and build rural economies by attracting more traveler spending." - Visit Carson City Media Release
