Reno, NV
The Biggest Little City punches well above its weight in public art. Reno's Midtown corridor has become one of the West's most vibrant mural destinations, fueled by the annual Reno Street Art Festival and a creative culture shaped by proximity to Burning Man, the University of Nevada, and the Truckee River. Art here has genuine edge — and genuine local pride.
Featured Artists
All artists →Meggs
Australian muralist whose layered surrealist compositions have appeared on walls across four continents. His Midtown Reno piece was the centerpiece commission of the first Reno Street Art Festival and helped establish the city as a serious stop on the international mural circuit. The work's scale — nearly the full face of a six-story parking structure — is still talked about years after its unveiling.
Ann Grimaldi
University of Nevada professor whose Riverwalk commissions bring academic rigor to public space. Grimaldi's "Truckee Confluence" maps the river's hydrology, fish populations, and riparian ecology in a mural that functions as both a work of art and an environmental education tool — QR codes embedded in the imagery link to real-time water quality data.
Hybycozo
Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu's geometric design studio, Hybycozo, brings its signature sacred geometry and laser-cut aesthetic to wall scale in the Reno Brewery District. Their "Playa Dust" piece — rendered in the chalk-white and burnt-sienna palette of a Black Rock Desert sunrise — is a direct homage to the Burning Man community that has shaped Reno's creative identity.
