February 16, ’10: Opening Reception of the Moments of Memory art exhibit at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport! The exhibit was open to the public 24/7 thru April 18. The Connector Collections Gallery is located on the second level between the “B” and “C” concourses. Check it out to view their latest exciting installation!
“Reno-Tahoe International Airport and the Connector Collections Gallery was pleased to be the first public venue for the Moments of Memory: Art from the Hearts of Alzheimer’s Artists exhibit. Not only did the artwork color our gallery walls, but the exhibit created a heart warming story of life with Alzheimer’s that touched many of our passengers, employees and airport guests. The airport is honored to have been a part of this high-quality, huge-impact exhibit. As Vincent van Gogh once said, “I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” – Kim Matthews, Reno-Tahoe International Airport
