Located at Rusty’s Saloon

The Hollenberg-Witters Artist Consortium consists of two artists who frequently hang out in life and art. Brent Witters is a mixed media abstract artist who composes his pieces from mostly found objects and recycled paint. Brent has a background in assemblage, abstract, and installation art. Brent has shown around the world and is currently a featured artist at Modern Arts Midtown in Omaha, Nebraska and the Mono Inn outside of LeeVining. Brent also manages the Mono Sierra Lodge and hosts a yearly art show every October which features local and regional artists and artisans. Brent’s works are inspired by a need to create and experiment while attempting to understand his place in the universe. Crista Hollenberg is a mixed media artist who composes her pieces from mostly scavenged or yard sale materials. Crista has a background in fine art, comedic art and interior design decorative painting. Crista still finds herself utilizing faux finnish and other interior decorative techniques in current work. Crista’s works are inspired by invoking a response or interaction with her pieces. 


Factors on the street side is an abstract piece about the human condition. On the indoor side the piece is an abstract in progress by the bar patrons who directly draw and write on the blank side.
