The Holland Project 140 Vesta Street
The Holland Project is a six-year-old nonprofit with a small staff and an amazing team of dedicated, wonderful people who serve as contributing members and volunteers. These are the people who help to provide programming for all ages in arts, music and cultural events. I asked my contact, Britt, how often they offer events and was surprised by the answer. “Holland offers approximately 13-18 events monthly. The all ages shows are in all genres, poetry nights, art exhibits, workshops, and special events.” As I mentioned in the Nevada Museum of Art section, students and mentors are gearing up for this month’s annual “Stranger Show.” In this show, Hug High School students are paired up with local artists who have similar interests. The final project is a collaborative piece guided primarily by the student. Working together, mentor and student artist create an original work of art based on the word “strange.”
