Nevada City, CA – The City of Nevada City, in partnership with the Public Arts Commission, is proud to announce the opening of Hidden in Plain Sight, the newest exhibit in the City Hall Art Meets the Public (CHAMP) Gallery. The artwork features the small, yet remarkable details of Nevada City.

This exhibit features powerful and personal works from local community members, offering unique perspectives and stories expressed through art.
“This exhibition reminds us that creativity often emerges from everyday experiences and perspectives we may overlook,” said Brittnie Neundorfer with Nevada City. “Hidden in Plain Sight shines a light on voices within our community that deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.”
Guests are invited to enjoy an evening of art, conversation, and connection. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.
The Hidden in Plain Sight exhibit will run from Sept. 2, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025, giving visitors multiple opportunities to experience the work beyond the opening event.
