Painters, welders, muralists, and performers all create Reno’s art scene — a year-round exhibition as vivid and varied as the landscape it calls home. Inspired by the high desert expanse of the Great Basin to the east and the 10,000-foot peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the west, Reno’s art community is eclectic and energetic. It surprises with mind-bending Burning Man installations and avant-garde outdoor performance art. It astounds with world-renowned rotating exhibits at the Nevada Museum of Art. Reno’s vibrancy and natural landscape attract audacious artists and traditional masters, who showcase their work in galleries, museums, art schools and workspaces throughout the city. Take a tour of Reno to see the wealth of art the city offers.

Reno

Experience an antique automobile in its native habitat, or discover a new corner of the universe at one of Reno’s many museums. Other museums can captivate toddlers to octogenarians with exhibits on monster-sized prehistoric fish and the human body.

The Nevada Museum of Art is the oldest cultural institution in the state, and the only art museum in Nevada accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). In addition to a thematic permanent collection—Altered Landscape Photography, Art of the Greater West, Contemporary Art, and Work Ethic—the four-story building on Liberty Street houses a museum school, a gourmet restaurant, and the internationally-acclaimed Center for Art + Environment. An impressive roster of national and international artists regularly rotate through the museum’s halls and galleries, including works by Ugo Rondinone, Maya Lin, Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, and Rembrandt.

Dickerson RoadBetween the river and the rails lies an artistic wonderland. Travel west on Second Street, beyond Keystone Avenue, where the street winds and turns into Dickerson Road. Suddenly you’ll be immersed in Reno’s industrial arts district — a hidden oasis of water gardens, nature studies, warehouses and artist workspaces for sculpture, pottery, painting, and welding.

MidTown DistrictLocated in the heart of Reno, you’ll find many eclectic businesses re-purposing historic homes to create a commercial corridor in the MidTown District. Museums, galleries, boutiques, artisan eateries and friendly watering holes line the streets. The exterior walls of many buildings display art created by Reno’s talented muralists.

Riverwalk District The Riverwalk District follows the Truckee River and is the epicenter of Reno’s art scene. At the heart of the district is Wingfield Park, the host of many summer concerts and festivals. In July, the tree-lined greens host events nearly every day and night during the city’s month-long art celebration — Artown. But art isn’t confined to the park or the month of July. Throughout the year you’ll find murals on buildings and public art installations on the streets of the Riverwalk District. Even the bike racks get into the spirit with locally-crafted designs.

To further nurture Reno as a creative environment, many vacant industrial warehouses have been renovated to fit the needs of area artists. On Dickerson Road a triad of makerspaces offers a variety of workshops and mediums. Local artists create sculptures, paintings and more at Reno Art Works. At The Wedge Ceramics Studio pottery wheels spin with the creations of local ceramicists. Nearby, Infinity Forge lights up with the heat of creativity.

Visual Art Production Spaces The GeneratorA free community art space, The Generator, promotes three main ideas: “Work less. Build more. Play more.” The 34,000-square-foot workspace includes a full-service woodshop, metal working facility, 3D printers, and classes. This artist co-working space often hosts the creation of large-scale Burning Man projects like Embrace, which was featured on the playa in 2014.

Northern Nevada’s art events encourage artistic exploration and social engagement. Friends and families gather to experience the arts in the spectacular high desert environment.

Reno embraces an entire month of art during July with Artown. With over 20 years of tradition, this art and culture festival offers more than 500 events, including music, dance, theater, visual arts, workshops, and art walks. In addition to celebrating local talent, the city-wide celebration draws artists from all over the world. Most of the events are free and are concentrated in downtown, while others occur throughout the city.

Artown

Experience the most famous playwright in history in an idyllic setting at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. Held in July and August in an outdoor amphitheater in North Lake Tahoe, the festival’s season typically includes a classic Shakespearean play, a modern show or musical, and additional musical performances. Bring a picnic and a bottle of wine and enjoy one of Tahoe’s trademark sunsets while the plot thickens.

The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival

Every year, thousands of people from around the world gather in Reno before embarking on a journey to the Black Rock Desert. On the Playa, located about 100 miles northeast of Reno, a temporary metropolis rises to embrace art, free expression, and individualism. Artists create a city of temporary sculptures that live only during the festival. Some have been rebuilt and purchased by the city for its public art collection.

I truly believe that arts and culture add vibrancy to cities and attract locals and visitors alike, driving foot traffic to our neighborhoods and stimulating the local economy. The City of Reno is committed to bringing more public art displays and encouraging and promoting arts programs and local artists to enhance our thriving arts and culture scene through collaboration between the city, artists, community organization, and the business community.
