Save The Art
Here’s the deal. In spring 2023, Transfix opened to the public in Las Vegas, starting what was to be a three-year touring exhibition of participatory art, much of which got its start in Black Rock City. Unfortunately, the business went bankrupt within the first six weeks of operation due to a variety of circumstances, leaving all 40+ artists to scramble to figure out how to get their large scale art removed from the casino site with no funds and ZERO support.

Want to make a difference? Here’s your chance! We’ve all enjoyed the incredible artwork that artists in our community have generously created for Black Rock City and beyond over the years. WE, the community, now have an opportunity to show them our appreciation by donating to help get their art deinstalled and off the site. And you can help Save The F*cking Art.

We have organized this fundraiser to help cover hard costs for the artists, such as heavy equipment rentals, shipping, crating, transportation and storage, and additional labor. All donations are tax deductible (through Sierra Arts Foundation), and every little bit helps. Please share this with your networks! We are making great progress but need additional support to prevent the art from being cleared unceremoniously by the casino.

The list of artists include:

Marco Cochrane IG @marcocochrane Sculpture (R-Evoution)

Chad Fez Gaetz (Helianthus Enorme)

Tyson Ayers (Soundcave)

Darrell Ansted (Centered and Awaken)

Seraphim Living Art Experience

SRS Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit the "Seraphim" Living Art Experience Sculpture, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me. We are specifically asking for support for building materials and art transportation costs.

Seraphim are the traditional angels of the heavens; they are the ministering spirits who live near and perform miracles in everyday life.

Now more than ever, humanity needs guardian art to watch over us as we endeavor to heal from the pandemic, social injustices and caged lethargy. Artists are often sworn defenders of our delicate environment. And Seraphim will be a welcome reminder that it is our job to protect and sustain the planet where we all live.

In the form of a woman, “Seraphim” will stand 18’ tall made of steel framing, a sculpted layered wood body, steel frame wings with individually sculpted copper feathers filling in the wings, living plants and flowers are growing from the head as hair and illuminated,

hand-blown glass, copper and steel, heart that will serve as a beacon for all those in need of hope.

Washoe County Artist Relief Fund - COVID-19
Washoe County is rich with artists. We are fortunate enough that their generosity and commitment to creation of all types contributes to a robust culture. These creatives are our neighbors, friends and family, and their very existence relies on people having access to their work. The widespread cancelation of group events has a direct and disproportionate affect on our arts community, especially those dependent on these monies to pay their most essential bills.

As Sierra Arts Foundation firmly believes that every segment of our region benefits from these creatives, we wish to rally support for them during this time of need. We are mobilizing a quick-response fund that will help those in the greater Washoe County region's art community who have been financially impacted by COVID-19 cancellations and disruption of normal operations.

We will help as many artists in need (actors, directors, dancers, movement specialists, musicians, spoken word artists, teaching artists, visual artists and more) for as long as we have funding.

Where your funds go: 100% of funds donated will go to the artists and arts organizations who have lost income due to cancellations and work disruption. This is emergency funding to help artists in need with rent, food, utilities and medical needs. Sierra Arts Foundation will allocate up to $500 per artist/organization, based on how much funding is received.

We ask artists to fill out a simple application, to be reviewed by a collection of assessors. We will communicate with those who will be awarded monies as soon as possible.

Artists: click here to take our survey and apply for relief.

Donors: please know your contributions are being routed through Sierra Arts Foundation, a 501(c)(3) with 50 years of sound and celebrated fiscal agentry. Any gift you make is appreciated and will go toward sustaining the vibrant culture all of us in this area have worked so diligently to create.

Sierra Arts Foundation firmly believes that art can solve any problem. For this to be true, we must fiercely protect our arts and artistic landscape.

We will get through this together.
