Artown

08/26/2026

Artown doesn’t happen without the people who make it happen. 💙

Behind every performance, every event, and every unforgettable July moment are the volunteers who show up with a smile, lend a hand, and help create the welcoming experience our community knows and loves.

To all of our Artown volunteers: thank you for sharing your time, energy, and passion with us. Your dedication helps bring hundreds of arts experiences to life and keeps our festival connected to the community we serve.

We couldn’t do it without you.

July's Festival is over, but Artown is NOT! 👀

Don't miss the chance to see José González live this September. Known for his intimate performances and unmistakable acoustic sound, the acclaimed Swedish singer-songwriter has captivated audiences around the world, from sold-out international tours to the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.

If you love indie folk, thoughtful lyrics, and the kind of concert that stays with you long after the last song, this is one you won't want to miss.

📍 Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts
📅 Tuesday, September 22
🕢 Show starts at 7:30 p.m. (Doors open at 6:30 p.m.)

Some moments end… but never really leave us.

Artown is over, but somewhere in Reno, a song is still echoing, a smile is still lingering, and a memory is becoming a story.

What’s the one moment you’ll carry with you? ❤️

Every performance, every volunteer, every sponsor, every artist, and every one of you made this month something special.

Until next year… see you in 2027! 🎭🎶✨
