Young Blood is a pop-up group exhibition occurring twice per year that is open for submissions by any regional artist under 21. Each artist may display 1-2 pieces and can even sell their work. Submitted artwork may be any medium, theme, or genre, and each exhibition culminates with a themed art party! Young Blood is a great opportunity for young artists in the region to gain some experience exhibiting their artwork, while also having the chance to meet and network with other young creatives.

The Fall 2026 Young Blood exhibition is scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd from 5PM – 7PM at the Holland Project and includes a “Gothic Gardens” themed art party. We are thrilled to partner with our friends at the Washoe County Library to celebrate all the artists and their wonderful artwork with fun hands‑on activities, a photo booth, tasty snacks, music, and more– all inspired by the “Gothic Garden” theme. There’s a $1-$5 suggested donation at the door and costumes are encouraged! Come dressed up in your favorite woodland‑grunge, fairy‑and‑nymph, or gothic‑botanist‑inspired costumes for a night of art, atmosphere, and fantasy!!
