The ever-popular Artown returns to Reno this summer for a month-long of events in visual and performing arts, music and film. This year’s events that will take place on the University of Nevada, Reno campus are listed below.
CJ Walters, associate director of programs and marketing in the University’s School of the Arts, said that if the University wasn't part of Artown, there wouldn't be a fair representation of all that encompasses Reno.
"I think this shows that the University is part of the community and we have a lot to offer our community," Walters said.
