MISSION STATEMENT
To build upon our art and cultural achievement by nurturing and supporting artists, strengthening existing cultural programs throughout the region and introducing new ventures that will enable us to continue as a vibrant arts destination with strong links to our unique history.
St. Mary’s Art Center is a place where creativity can be explored in an atmosphere of quiet beauty. We believe creativity often emerges through the group – individuals coming together through collaboration and connection; synthesizing a solution greater than the minds and sum of its parts. Dedicated to artists in the 1960s by Father Meinecke and Louise Curran, St Mary’s survived the wrecking ball threat and became an icon to the Arts in the Nevadan community.
A 501c3 nonprofit, St. Mary’s Art Center is a beautiful location, hosting Art Exhibitions, Artist Receptions, Faires, Community Events, Imaginations Children’s Art Classes and Artist Talks. Our property is also the perfect place to host professional artistic workshop and retreat rentals, writer’s workshops, craft groups, yoga, meditation, private and special events, and more.
Looking for a location to celebrate a wedding, reception or family event? With 16 guest rooms and 2 kitchens, we offer a one of a kind property on the Comstock.
Virginia City is a wonderful and unique town, permeated with tangible history. Stay in our beautiful building and town, regroup and reconnect with yourself and others surrounded by expansive views, blue skies, clean air and the incredible light of the high desert at 6200 feet elevation. Experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and see the stars.
The board, staff and volunteers at St. Mary’s Art Center welcomes visitors and artists of all races, genders, sexual orientation, and religions. We are wholly against racism, hate of any kind, and bullying. Racism and Hate are the absolute opposite of our values and culture. We work hard to be a welcoming and inclusive place to enjoy art and our historic property. We continue to do our part to offer a safe, diverse, and inclusive location, providing exceptional art, history, and programming for all to enjoy.
We look forward to your visit.
