"Selections" commemorates a self-devised artistic celebration that went down in Reno's historic Hotel El Cortez in the summer of 2007. With participation from over sixty (60) creators in all disciplines, artists found that doing it ourselves was the antidote to too much artworld-spoon-feeding.
Curated by one of Dada Motel's organizing artists, this formally arranged exhibition showcases the hot energies coming from Reno's artheads–and with almost nothing to do with the Dada movement, even. The work of more than twenty-eight (28) artists of all media grace the walls of this exhibition. The show's premise? To please the taste buds.
Dress to extravagance for the opening night reception or just show up. You'll get to rub elbows with Vegas' and Reno's Creative Class & finally see why art is flourishing across Nevada!

Airline tickets from Reno to Vegas for the weekend of Jan. 25th are between $100 and $200 round trip, but hurry up and book 'em NOW. And you can find hotel rooms for under $100. It looks like most of the artists are staying downtown (Fremont Street area). You can join us Friday, party all night with us downtown LV and still have Saturday night to go to the strip to see gladiators or blue drummers with tigers and Wayne Newton. And January's nice in SoNV. Wanna caravan down there with others? Go to our tribe site and start asking questions:

50 artists have already filled 40 motel rooms with art.
Their work will be on display for the public until check-out.
Last year sculptors, painters, photographers, printmakers and performance artists hosted their own works in these rooms. This year the art ranges from the abstract to the real and unreal.
Many doors will be open in two motels downtown. 2nd and 3rd floors of the El Cortez host about 20 rooms
while another 20 rooms exhibit at the Town House across the street. Entertainment all 4 nights. Cameras are encouraged.


Most participating artists set up studio in Reno, some hail from CA, LV and Washington. An event like this happened last year assuming the name Dada Motel. To reinforce the newness, each year the name changes. We used the line "get a room, make a show" to reinforce the idea that the artists are promoting themselves on their own dime, we've just agreed upon the dates. As arts funding dwindles in public institutions, we're in critical times for education and appreciation of creativity. We hope that this event brings back a feeling that it's in our own hands. We're proud to say that this is an artist-run event.
