The third Reno Tahoe International Art Show (RTIA) opened on September 12, with exclusive previews from 6 to 10 p.m., and ran through Sunday, September 15.

Held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, this year’s event was the biggest yet, doubling its footprint for the third year. The show spanned four days and featured a mix of fine art, sculpture, bespoke furniture, film and music. It celebrated local talent alongside national and international artists, galleries and sculptors.

This year’s features were the Basque Cultural Feature, which highlighted the region’s rich Basque heritage, and the First Nations, Indigenous Peoples Pavilion, which showcased art from Native American and Indigenous communities.

A Post Playa Art exhibition featured large-scale sculptures from Burning Man. View a photo gallery below.
