We invite you to three different performance series for July’s Artown 2014 at our downtown gallery, 17 South Virginia Street #120 in the historic Riverside building. Tuesdays see the return of Jazz Night. Wednesday nights will feature Spoken Views Collective, Reno’s premier spoken word poetry collective and hosts of Reno’s longest running poetry open mic. Thursday nights profile talented local singer-songwriters. All performances are free and run from 6-8pm.

This three night a week schedule builds on last year’s successful offerings. Executive Director, Stacey Spain, says, “We are so lucky to be able to hire such a variety of talented local performers at no cost to the audiences. We hope to continue these series for many Artowns to come by encouraging people to become members of Sierra Arts.”
