High and Dry: Summer Ride
High & Dry is a collaborative, multi-faceted summer event designed to explore and celebrate high desert life – the culture, the history, the mysticism, and our relationship to land, water, and the harsh environment. The event begins at the Holland Project (140 Vesta Street) and participants will journey to the Downtown Library, Lake Mansion and the Nevada Museum of Art on a bike ride lead by the Reno Bike Project. Each of the four stops to explore performance, interactive, or visual installations – all with a desert theme.
Meet at 6 pm at The Holland Project (140 Vesta Street in Reno). Those that would like to travel by car or other form of transportation are welcome to participate.

3hattrio in Concert
If you ask most people what Western music is you are likely to hear the response, Cowboys and Indians. 3hattrio has great respect for this music but they also think there is more to the West. Music is often identified with place, like the Delta and its blues or mountain music of Appalachia. In the case of the 3hattrio, inspiration comes from the deserts of southern Utah, thus, Desert Music of the Greater West. Join us for an evening of music that is spacious, atmospheric, mirage-like, spiced with old-time cowboy, classical, jazz, and Caribbean overtones.
Shooting Stars at the Nightingale Sky Room
In this cocktail brunch and chamber concert in partnership with Classical Tahoe, audiences are treated to Hungarian composer Ligeti’s six spirited pieces for Woodwind Quintet; like flashes in a midnight sky, these delightful miniatures will transport you. And the remarkable sound of eight string players performing Felix Mendelssohn’s brilliant Octet will send you to the stars with this exuberant miracle of a piece created by a 16-year-old-genius. Awaken your Sunday with bottomless mimosas and a delectable brunch by favorite chef Mark Estee.
This is a benefit event for Classical Tahoe and the Nevada Museum of Art. Tickets must be purchased through the Classical Tahoe website.
Repertoire and Guest Artists subject to change.
The Folk & The Lore: Stories of Our Veterans
From the creative mind of Jessi LeMay comes the storytelling and narrative filmmaking project The Folk & the Lore. This multimedia project aims to collect, archive, and tell stories from Reno and throughout the region through photography, short films, and live storytelling events held at the Nevada Museum of Art. Together, we believe that when you know your neighbor’s story, not only do you feel more connected to your community, but those stories become part of your own. Join us for an evening of storytelling and films based on the stories of our local Veterans and Active Service Men and Women.
Doors open at 5pm for social hour, stories begin at 6pm.
Tickets are free for Veterans and Active Service Men and Women.
All guests should register early, we do expect this event to sell out.

Documentary Screening: Take Me Home Huey
Winning the Mercedes-Benz Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January at its World Premiere, the 70-minute-long film combines contemporary and historical footage to portray the journey of a Medevac helicopter, shot down in 1969 during a rescue in Vietnam, as it is resurrected from a “boneyard” in Arizona and transformed into colorful sculpture by artist Steve Maloney. He partnered with Light Horse Legacy, a non-profit outreach organization focused on supporting veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress and a USA Vietnam War Commemorative Partner, which acquired, restored, and delivered the Huey for the project. As the iconic Huey 174 morphs from wounded war bird into vivid sculpture, viewers of the documentary witness the power of art to heal surviving soldiers and families of the fallen. Ryrie Valdez, board member of the Nevada Arts Council, was at the Palm Springs Film Festival and was moved by the projects merits. She was instrumental in bringing the project to our community.
