Three new exhibits will be on display at galleries operated by the city of Reno from February 15th – March 26th. Admission to these galleries is free. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Metro Gallery (City Hall, 1 East First Street) – “The Faces of St. Vincent’s” is a photographic documentary of the clients of Catholic Community Services of Northern Nevada (CCSNN). Jeff Ross spent nearly a year capturing the men, women and children who receive food, shelter, education and support from CCSNN. More of Jeff’s work can be seen at jeffross.com.
• Gallery East (McKinley Arts & Culture Center, 925 Riverside Drive) – “Fotonostalgia” is an exhibition of recent work by Los Angeles photographer Sia Aryai. Emphasizing the sensual forms, figures, and emotions of women, the finished images evoke memories of everlasting, graceful beauty. Each moment has its own beautiful, unforgettable “Nostalgia”, conjuring memories of our youthful wistfulness: the moment when we first encounter the faded color pin-up on the wall of a gas station; our first crush on the girl next-door; the magical moment, the foto Nostalgia.
• Gallery West (McKinley Arts & Culture Center, 925 Riverside Drive) – In “Evidence and Artifacts: Particle Matter 2.5”, photographer Christopher Gauthier is exhibiting his most recent work made in the midst of ice, fog and inversion – a natural and manmade regional weather phenomenon in which beauty and toxicity combine. The singular perspective conveys the intimacy of isolated encounters with the consequences of progress and recession. An artist’s reception will be held February 25th from 5-7 p.m.
