The City of Reno will dedicate the permanent Bicentennial Park Sculpture Garden, which currently houses a variety of art installations along the river on Thursday, October 21, at 11:30 a.m.
The dedication will take place at Bicentennial Park, which is located on the southeast corner of First and Ralston Streets along the Truckee River.
“We invite everyone out to join us on Thursday for another great celebration of our vibrant arts and culture scene,” Reno City Councilmember Naomi Duerr said. “If you haven’t been to Bicentennial Park, it’s worth the trip.”
The Arts and Culture Commission and the Rotary Club of Reno Downtown partnered in 2016 to create the Sculpture Garden at Bicentennial Park.
The permanent sculptures include Iron Horse by Pierre Riche, Daring Young Man on a Trapeze by Ric Blackerby, Rhinoman by Carolyn Guerra, Circles by CJ Rench, Dual Nature by Cecilia Lueza and Legend by Nathan Pierce.
These sculptures join the Charles Ginnever sculpture, Gallop-a-pace, which is located in the planter along the riverwalk and Portal of Evolution by Bryan Tedrick at the east end of the park.
“Our Rotary Club is committed to making a difference and revitalizing downtown Reno,” said Marlene Olsen, chairman of the Community Service Committee of the Rotary Club of Reno. “Since we partnered with the City in 2016 and created the Sculpture Garden, we have seen families and residents come back downtown to enjoy this beautiful park.”
