The group of artists known as the Wild Women began in 1993 largely due to founding member Jimmie Benedict who wanted to establish a community of artists in the Reno area. It has grown since then to include artists as far away as Utah to the east and Lake Tahoe to the west. Reno members will offer a raffle during the show to support the annual “Wild Women Emerging Artist Award,” given in conjunction with the Nevada Museum of Art’s National Scholastic Art Awards. More information about the Wild Women Artists is available at www.wildwomenartists.com.
