View our entries here

 

The Nevada State Museum is hosting Interwoven II: Visions of the Great Basin Basketmakers, an exhibition featuring original hand woven baskets, sculptures and vessels.  Unique and expressive contemporary and traditional creations by many of the regions finest basketmakers will be displayed in the Changing Gallery from May 11 through August 5, 2007 .   

 

The group held an exhibit at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City in 2006 and it was such a success that they have been invited back for 2007.   Over the last 20 years, this Reno area guild has showcased the art of basketmaking with displays in libraries, galleries and statewide touring exhibits.  They have earned recognition as basket artists and their passion for basketry is highly appreciated by those who have seen their work. The group, which has over 200 members nationwide, works with a variety of materials such as native plants and grasses, reed, willow, wire, paper and fibers. 

After the exhibit ends in August, it will then be moved to the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas for a planned three-month exhibit.   For further details, contact Margaret Marshall at 775-825-4397 or visit www.greatbasinbasketmakers.org.
