One of the historic and visual treasures of Nevada's rough and tumble mining era, St. Mary's Art Center & Retreat began its existence as St. Mary Louise Hospital at the turn of the century (the 20th, not the 21st, that is). In the 1960s, it was saved from demolition and converted into an art center and retreat for workshops, conferences, family gatherings, and, more recently, paranormal tours. I am one of the lucky artists who has been invited to a solo exhibit in the vast Main Gallery on the 2nd floor in July and August of 2013, with additional pieces to be held on exhibit for the winter months from October until May 2014.
