Thank you, Amelia!

For the past month, Amelia has been completing her internship with us here at the Lake Mansion, helping organize our archives, improving the organization of our collections and spaces, and even taking on the daunting task of matching countless keys to their proper doors.

Thank you, Amelia! As you end your internship with us, we wish you all the best as you continue your career and know you'll accomplish great things!

Amelia is a Graduate Student at the University of Oregon, concurrently pursuing a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Historic Preservation. She was born and raised in Reno and got her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

She loves architecture, history, and preservation and hopes to continue sharing it with her friends, family, and her community.

As we say "see you again" to Amelia, we did a little interview so we can all appreciate and learn more about her and her thoughts about the Lake Mansion:

- What inspired you to intern for the Lake Mansion?

"The historic Lake Mansion and its history as well as the mission of Arts for All Nevada to promote arts and culture within the community has been truly inspiring! This was an opportunity I could not let pass up!"

- Anything interesting you've discovered about the Lake Mansion?

"It has been fascinating to learn about the early history of Reno and the Lake Family. The quirks and sounds of the mansion have been exciting to get to know."

- What's something you hope everyone can learn when they visit the Lake Mansion?

"I hope everyone can leave the Lake Mansion with a better appreciation for its beautiful architecture, Lake Family History, and the resilience and preservation it has undergone to be presented in the way it is today! After three relocations, and almost 150 years of history I hope this place can be admired and cared for, for years to come."

Thank you, Amelia!

Who wants popsicles? 😊

Our Weekly Wonders artists have been busy making popsicles this hot Summer!

Guided by our teaching artist, Sophie Ralston, everyone's playing with colors, and lots of it, to paint the most delicious-looking cold treat.

These ones are from our artists at Makers Paradise at the Reno Public Market.

Popsicles! Yum! 🥰

Weekly Wonders Update: Please be advised that we have no Weekly Wonders art class today.

We know several of our students and families travel from the Sparks area, and with the current situation concerning the Hawk fire, we feel this is the most responsible decision.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the fire.

Please stay safe, and we'll share updates about next week's program as soon as we can.

We printed bandanas using the power of the sun! 😎🌞

Check out these cyanotype bandanas we created over the weekend! Guided by our teaching artist, Sofia Lombardo, families bonded together and used shells, leaves, flowers (including things they brought from home) to create one-of-a-kind bandanas.

Cyanotypes are a unique printing technique, harnessing the power of the sun to create distinct blue prints.

So much creativity!

Hello from our Art Adventurers here at the Lake Mansion! 😊

Here's a sweet glimpse of the "Letter Painting" our budding artists created this week!

Guided by teaching artist, Miss Patty Lassaline, the young creatives used oil pastels and watercolor to create art based on their initials.

Even the kitty (swipe to see) wants to join.

*** Great news too is that you can still register your kid to join. Art Adventures runs Tuesdays until September 29, where each week, your child can explore different art mediums and techniques.

All art supplies included! Students are also welcome to bring a snack to eat during class.
