Artist Suzanne Kanatsiz will be on hand Feb. 7 at the Carson City opening of an exhibit showing her Seven Sennings series of large drawings inspired by wild mountain oriental sages.
Carson City Arts Initiative will hold a reception for the artist from 5-7 p.m. There is no charge, and CCAI said the public is invited to attend the reception and see the exhibit at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery, which is at 885 E. Musser St. The exhibit continues there through May 29.
The artist’s drawings were created with the reference point being the wild mountain sages of ancient days in China and Japan.
