The City of Reno is inviting you to the unveiling of a mural by Joe C. Rock commissioned by the Reno Fire Department and City of Reno Arts & Culture Commission on Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 10 a.m. at Fire Station 1.
“When you think about public art, you might not always associate it with a fire station,” Reno Fire Chief Dave Cochran said. “I’m hoping that this project will change that. This mural was commissioned to help make 4th Street more vibrant and eclectic, while also illustrating the history of our City’s first responders.”
The Reno Fire Department partnered with the City of Reno Arts & Culture Commission to fund the mural. The artist received $2,000 from the Commission's public art budget and $1,500 from the Fire Department.
