Sierra Arts Foundation, a nonprofit organization advocating for art and those artists who create it, is bringing the third annual Sierra Arts Fest to Sparks, Nevada on August 12. Sierra Arts Fest is a celebration of local and regional arts that enables attendees to shop for and experience art while enjoying music, food, and a variety of performers from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Sparks Marina. Sierra Arts Fest includes one of the nonprofit’s largest art sales of the year, and is still inviting artists to secure tabling space during the event.
Throughout the day there will be a variety of local food trucks and interactive art projects for attendees of all ages. Artists already signed up to table at the event include Steven Green, Pietro Accardi, Susan Stewart, Jacci Turner, Judith A. Von Klug, Valerie Nelson, Brenda Bush, Willo, Kecia Olney, Jenny Krupka, Amanda Wirtanen, and Kristen Fabry.
Aerial Equanimity, a nonprofit organization looking to enhance social and emotional wellness through movement and aerial arts, will be on site for attendee enjoyment. In addition, attendees will be able to enjoy music sets from Colin Ross, who plays a broad range of original material and selections from the American Songbook on the piano, guitar, banjo and accordion. Attendees can also enjoy music from Brother Dan Palmer, who will play a wide-ranging and eclectic variety of tunes. High Desert Harmony Chorus, a volunteer-run community a cappella and barbershop choir for singers who identify as female or non-binary, is also set to perform.
“The Sierra Arts Fest is excited to bring a celebration of art to the Sparks Marina this year as we share an opportunity for families to experience a palette of rich and colorful experiences,” said Tracey Oliver, executive director of Sierra Arts Foundation. “There will be something to ignite the creative spark in everyone, whether you’re looking for art for your walls, gifts for loved ones or performance that will speak to you.”
