Reno Tahoe’s First International Art Fair Set to Make a Splash
Over 200 regional artists join 40+ national and international galleries, filmmakers and furniture designers in Reno September 8-11
The Reno Tahoe International Art Show (RTIA Show) will be the first-ever international art fair of its kind in Nevada and will anchor a large-scale city to lakeside celebration of art and design, including an Opening Night Concert and a regional artist awards ceremony at the Nevada Museum of Art. The event is the foundation of a broader vision that seeks to lift Reno Tahoe onto the national stage as an arts and cultural center.

Unlike many art fairs in the US, the RTIA Show will showcase 200+ curated regional artists and bespoke furniture designers as part of a central ‘Heart of Reno’ feature, presenting over 1,000 pieces of original fine artworks never before seen outside of Northern Nevada. Showcased in the adjacent ballrooms will be 40+ national and international galleries presenting the works of renowned artists from around the world.
