nadaween haunts reno in october 2019

Picture
The NADA Artists of Reno will haunt the ancient halls of the Morris Burner Hostel of Reno this October 18-20, 2019 with Nadaween!

Local artists will transform guest rooms of the Morris into mysterious dimensions of visual art, each unique and the sole creation of the artist.  Weird, wonderful, wacky and  unpredictable, Nadaween is sure to bring thrills, chills and screams of delight or fright.  The perfect place to get things marked off your Holiday list with unique gifts of art.

More information will be posted soon- until then, mark your calendars for Oct 18-20.    We encourage you to wear your Halloween finest while attending  7:00 pm opening festivities on the evening of Oct 18, and get into.... the spirit!!!

The event is free.  

Interested in participating as a Nadaween artist?  Contact:  jacquesdubois@gmail.com

Our motto is "Get a room- make a show."  You are free to create and display your work as you prefer.  You rent the room, then make it into your own show.  You can simply display or conduct sales- it's up to you.  We do wish to relate however, that this is not a craft show and that all works must be your original work.  We prefer, but do not require, quirky, offbeat, outsider and somewhat absurd  creations.  

Works can include all visual art mediums as well as performance art, poetry, spoken word and even audio visual arts.



Official Press Release:​

​NADAWEEN THE HAUNTED ART SHOW WILL SPOOK RENO
 
The Nada Dada artists of Reno will be hosting a free art show fit for the Halloween season October 18, 19 and 20, 2019 at the Morris, 400 East Fourth St., Reno.  “Nadaween” brings together a dozen or more artists who will convert guest rooms into individual galleries and performance spaces.  The event will include a variety of visual arts, as well as literary art, music and spoken word.  The event will provide a haunted house atmosphere with creepy décor in the lobby and halls.  Even the artists themselves may give you the chills! Nadaween is an excellent opportunity to find unique art for those on your holiday gift list.
The show will open on Friday October 18th at 7:00 pm with a brief opening ceremony in the lobby, and the rooms will be open until 11 pm.  Saturday, the rooms will be open Noon to 11 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. 

Accessibility:  Due to the historic nature of the building, access to the 2nd and 3rd floors is available only via stairs.  The artists and staff will do their best to make the event art available to those with access needs.
