Nevada’s Oldest Art Club … Est. 1921

Carrying On A Tradition of Art Excellence In Reno For 103 Years.

Latimer Art Club, also known as LAC, is a 501(c)(7) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the fine arts in a wide variety of mediums. We encourage healthy interaction among our fellow artists, as well as the growth and improvement of each person as individuals.  We encourage skill development in creative young people by granting yearly educational scholarships.

Lorenzo Latimer greatly influenced Nevada’s artists in the early 1900s. He was a successful artist and teacher in the Bay Area of Northern California and traveled to Reno, Nevada many times a year to teach  outdoors known as Plein Air painting.  In 1921 a number of Latimer’s Reno students organized the Latimer Art Club. Early members of the LAC, known as “Latimers”, became a strong organization supporting the arts in Reno. Today the “Latimers” keep the legacy strong ensuring growth for many more years to come. 

“The Mountains Are Calling” exhibit at the Incline Village Library:

We have room for 48 paintings, including 7 larger pieces and 41 at “16 x 20” or smaller!
There are 2 cases for small glass and/or encaustic pieces/miniatures, with 4 glass shelves each and bottom wooden shelves.
Please go to the member section of our website for the registration form, and complete by Sunday October 25th. You can then deliver your pieces to the co-op (627 Mill St.-11-4 daily) from the 25th through the first of Nov. I know this is a short turn time, but you were made aware of the event and hopefully you have some work already to fit the theme.
Getting all of the work to the Incline library on Monday, November 2nd will be a challenge.
(They cannot handle or store any pieces prior to our install date.) I will pack my car carefully, but we could use another volunteer with wheels for that. (Ronnie is willing to drive down from Incline where she lives to help bring up the work, but her mini-Cooper cannot hold that much! Can I get another helper with a larger vehicle?) We are supposed to be at the library at 10:15 on Monday morning, so 8:45 to load up from Reno.
All participants need to complete the library’s “Release of All Claims and Liability” form. will attach it AND have some blank forms at the Co-op also. Ronnie and Elsa and I will hang the show (with maybe that additional volunteer?)
Let’s see if we can fill the library with great MOUNTANOUS art!
