Sierra Arts Foundation
Downtown Reno · Reno, Nevada
The Sierra Arts Foundation is a nonprofit organization supporting Northern Nevada artists through grants, residencies, gallery exhibitions, and public programming, with a gallery space presenting rotating community exhibitions that reflect the diversity and vitality of Reno's creative scene. The Foundation's grant programs provide critical support to artists who might otherwise struggle to sustain their practices in a region where commercial gallery representation is limited, making it an essential infrastructure organization for Northern Nevada's creative community. The gallery exhibitions give grant recipients and other regional artists professional exposure in a context that reinforces the Foundation's core belief: Nevada's artists are producing work of genuine quality and national significance.
