City of Reno City Hall
Metro Gallery, 1st floor
September 30 – November 22, 2024
Reception: Tuesday, October 10, 2024, 5 – 7pm
Reno, NV – The Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall is hosting "Slow Draw" a group exhibition with work by Jessica Hayworth, Kelly Chorpening, and Otis Poisson. Curated by 2024 Reno City Artist Chris Lanier, the show runs from September 30 – November 22, 2024, with the reception on Tuesday, October 10, 2024, 5 – 7pm.
"Slow Draw" is a play on the Western-flavored phrase "quick draw," and nods to the various cultural movements grouped under the adjective "slow" – slow food, slow fashion, and so on. In that context, "slowness" indicates a sense of care and attention to quality, as an antidote to the rapidity and frantic busyness of modern life. Each of these artists labors over their drawings – fastidious, careful, and intensely observant. Particularly in the current visual environment, where Artificial Intelligence can produce detailed images in a matter of seconds. there is a particular value to images made – deliberately, thoughtfully, and slowly – by a human hand.
The Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno. Metro Gallery is open to the public and free of charge. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is accessible through City Hall's ground floor entrance on Virginia Street. Parking is available in the City Hall parking garage (NW corner of First St. & Center St.). Parking Validation can be found inside City Hall.
