The 2026 Silver State Art Festival Returns to Carson City Sept. 11–13

Carson City, Nevada — The Nevada Gourd Society is proud to present the 8th Annual Silver State Art Festival, taking place Sept. 11–13, 2026, at the Fuji Exhibit Hall, 601 Old Clear Creek Road (across from Costco) in Carson City.

This indoor festival is Carson City’s premier showcase of fine art, fine crafts, and gourd artistry, bringing together talented artists from across the region. Visitors will enjoy a stunning variety of work, including photography, paintings, jewelry, wood-turned items, gourds, and more.

In addition to shopping for one-of-a-kind pieces, guests can meet the artists, learn about their creative process, and support the local arts community. The festival also features a raffle with 50 fantastic prizes, with all proceeds benefiting visual arts in northern Nevada.

Admission and parking are free, making this an accessible event for the entire community.

“This is more than an art festival—it’s a celebration of creativity and culture,” said Kristy Dial, president of the Nevada Gourd Society. “Every purchase and raffle ticket directly supports local artists and helps us continue to grow the visual arts in our region.”

The 2026 Silver State Art Festival is proudly sponsored by the Nevada Artists Association and Fast Frame. Endorsed by Visit Carson City.
