The Reno City Council has accepted a $2,555 grant from the Nevada Arts Council for an art education program for senior citizens.
The funding will provide a series of artist-led workshops, which culminate in community performances by adults 55 years and older, focusing on music of the late 1920’s through the early 1940’s.
The grant will be matched by the City of Reno through a variety of in-kind sources including Parks, Recreation, and Community Service staff time, facility use, design services, and program budget. There will not be any financial impact to the City’s general fund.
To learn how the City of Reno is working to support, enhance the lives, and meet the needs of seniors in our community visit www.reno.gov, click “Government,” then “Parks, Recreation & Community Services,” and “Senior Programs.”

When the Travis Brass previously performed at the McKinley Arts & Culture Center, the audience was treated to hours of beautiful, patriotic music. This year’s performance promises to delight again; the venue is wonderful and the weather forecast looks perfect for an outdoor concert.
