Thursday, May 23 / 7 pm Once in a while a handful of Reno’s most gifted and geeky creatives gather to share some of their best ideas in a series of five-minute, 20-slide presentations about a good idea. Ignite’s “lightning-presentation” format encourages speakers to keep their wits about them, enjoy the camaraderie of quick thinkers, and enjoy a drink at the cash bar run by Composition Café. IGNITE RENO 12 takes place in the Museum’s Founders’ Room.
Join us for a blow out Summer kick-off block party! Enjoy a free day at the Museum, live performances, food and craft vendors and hands-on art projects. Enjoy Tumblebus and climb a towering Rock Wall! Have your face painted, make colorful tissue paper flowers and enjoy the sounds of live music!
