Washoe County Library System will partner with Artown again this year. We exhibit art in our galleries and host events during the month-long arts festival.
The Good Books Love Beautiful Quilts exhibit will be on display at the Downtown Reno Library starting July 1. Multiple branches will be hosting performances by the Reno Phil Discover Music ensembles and Young Shakespeare, which will be performing Twelfth Night.
We will also have story times at the May Arboretum every Thursday at 10 am. (Please note — the dates for these story time events were misprinted in the Artown Little Book.)
Visit our calendar of events and our galleries calendar to see all upcoming Artown events at the library. |
