This basket in our state museum collection has extraordinary design and execution and is a rare example of the work of a weaver who died at the height of her creativity in 1925.Īfar from Yosemite, we showcase this month’s featured artist Loretta Burden, who is a Fallon Paiute basket weaver and educator combining both traditional and contemporary approaches to basket weaving. This month the Curator’s Corner features a coiled basket made by Emma Murphy, a Mono Lake Paiute basket weaver. And friends, there will be more great news to share in November! Later in October, these artists will again be the subject of well-deserved statewide attention when our program Curator, Mark Salinas, will present ‘Sustaining Diversity in Nevada: The First Lady Presents…’ as part of his Keynote presentation at the Nevada Museums Association annual conference in Virginia City. The reception will include a pop-up curatorial presentation of Nevada State Museum artifacts juxtaposed to contemporary artwork from these talented artists. This 6-month public display honors our featured Nevadan artists from September 2021 through September 2022. This month the Governor and I will again take great joy in hosting the ‘The First Lady Presents…’ 2nd Annual Art Exhibition in the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City. As September wraps up our second season of ‘The First Lady presents…’ I share such an exuberant pride in what we have accomplished in rightfully elevating the creative talent of artists and cultural bearers in our Silver State.
