Reno Art Fest on the River celebrates local artists in downtown Reno with an outdoor, open-air art market, family-friendly entertainment, a beer garden, wine tasting by the Riverwalk Merchants Association, and local food trucks.
Sierra Arts Foundation and CWB Events, with the support of the City of Reno Arts & Culture Commission, will present a group of more than 60 talented local and regional artists to present their art for sale at the inaugural Reno Art Fest On The River event. The reimagined event combines an art sale with two days of celebrating the arts at the Downtown City Plaza.
“Reno continues to host an amazing collection of artists with incredible work for sale,” said Megan Berner, Chair of the Arts & Culture Commission and founding member of the Reno Art Fest, “This year, we’re excited to present the festivities and sale on our beautiful Downtown Plaza. With over three times the artists we’ve invited in the past, this year promises to be the best Reno Arts Fest ever.”
