Artown has been inspiring community through the arts since 1996.
Artown’s primary goal is to encourage local artist and creative participation to highlight the finest multidisciplinary arts in northern Nevada. Additionally, we exist to market and promote these arts events locally, regionally, and nationally as a premier arts festival. Artown, a month-long summer arts festival, features nearly 500 events produced by more than 100 organizations and businesses at over 130 locations city and countywide.
Our anchor events continue to be expressions of regional, national and international artistic excellence. Most events are free or low cost. Support from corporate sponsors, foundations and individual donors enables Artown to bring some of the world’s greatest artists and performances into our community. And in doing so, Artown has given Reno a new reputation: that of a town with a vibrant artistic and cultural community.
None of this would be possible without the financial contributions of our Festival Sponsors. Artown receives major funding from the following sponsors: The City of Reno, NV Energy, Reno-Tahoe, THE ROW, Washoe County, Wild River Grille, Fox 11 News 4, NSN, KUNR Public Radio, PBS Reno, George W. Gillemot Foundation, and Bean Space Foundation
