NAP at Home in the Reno-Tahoe Airport

In only their second year displaying artwork in the newly renovated depARTures Gallery in the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, the NAP exhibit is making itself right at home thanks in part to Coordinator Kim Matthews.  Kim, who has been coordinating our exhibition at the airport since its inception, always provides participants with a professional experience and the new gallery space just adds to this. 

 

However, this professional art gallery experience is not just limited to those participating in the exhibit.  When stepping into the depARTures gallery, visitors are transported into an artistic space most wouldn’t think could be found within an airport setting.  To help invite passersby to take a minute and visit the gallery, Kim utilized a portion of the NAP’s Non-Matching Scholarship dollars to have new signage for the exhibition designed and printed.  This colorful new banner hangs in the busy corridor right outside the depARTures gallery where it can’t be missed by the public.

 

The artwork, more than 100 pieces in total, is beautifully displayed and fills the space with the creative talents of employees, vendors and their immediate family members.  One family in particular made their presence known at this year’s show.  With eighteen pieces by ten individuals, the Christensen family makes participating in the NAP show an annual family affair.

 

The NAP truly hopes that travelers passing through the  airport will take a moment from their hectic schedules to enjoy this wonderful exhibition of employee art.
