Reception, Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024, 5-7 p.m.

EMERGE spotlights the works of up-and-coming young artists from Northern Nevada who are all active participants in the arts community at the Holland Project. Matthew Gavrilles, Ana Cruz Hernandez, and Salvador Porras have each been a part of the Holland Project for a number of years, participating in art programs and contributing artwork to multiple group exhibitions. We have had the great privilege of seeing their work grow and evolve over this time, and it is exciting to witness them define their aesthetic and voice as artists. We are thrilled to be able to share their work in McKinley Gallery East and look forward to seeing what is next on the horizon for each of these talented young artists!

The Holland Project is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization that produces more than 250 all-ages art, music, and cultural events annually in the Reno area. Governed by its members, volunteer boards and committees, Holland seeks to propel Reno’s all-ages movement, and wholeheartedly support and champion opportunities for young people in our community.

Holland focuses on executing live music events monthly, curating gallery exhibits, hosting unique and affordable workshops, and presenting special events and city-wide collaborations. Holland Project hopes to further identify Reno as a cultural center with a vibrant urban scene where art and music thrive. Holland fundamentally believes that music and art are vital forces, and that young people have the ability and right to shape and share their culture. All-ages events and opportunities are an important part of any healthy and happening community, and we’re proud to work to present all-ages offerings.
