Art as a Voice for Place: Community Art Project

Join artists, community members, and fans of Virginia City in learning how the Nevada DOT beautifies the freeway landscape in Nevada with public artworks. Then, make your own contribution by glazing (painting) a tile to reflect Virginia City’s unique beauty. Glazed tiles will be fired and displayed at a public venue in Virginia City.
