This center is housed in the historic McKinley School, which was built in 1910. Stop by and marvel at the architecture of long ago. The schoolhouse alone is worth the visit to this beautiful part of Reno. There is always something interesting to see here, and in conjunction with the Sierra Arts Foundation, a rotating art gallery is offered free to the public. If you are in for a bit of exercise, cross the street and walk along the scenic, tree-lined Riverside Drive on the edge of the Truckee River.

This is directly across the street from the Truckee River and near the Keystone bypass. Beautiful area to walk to, and I've attended a wedding here as well. But another great reason to visit is for Feed the Camel Wednesdays' Food Truck event. Fun middle of the week event to go to.
MoreMcKinley Arts And Culture Center is vitally important to Reno/Sparks and the surrounding area. It not only is a historic building, but is the home of the Reno Philharmonic, Reno Chamber Orchestra, City of Reno Cultural Affairs Division, Masterworks Chorale, Reno Pops Orchestra, and Note-Ables. it has an auditorium and gallery spaces to help promote local artist.
MoreThis lovely building is an easy stroll from Downtown Reno along the the Truckee Riverwalk. It is a repurposed building and what a unique and beautiful building it is. It was built as a neighborhood school in 1909 in the Mission Revival style, and was one of the Spanish Quartet. The building now houses the offices for the Reno Philharmonic, Reno Chamber Orchestra, Masterworks Chorale and the Notables and the office for City of Reno Cultural Arts. There is an auditorium, meeting room, classroom rooms, and art gallery. The building is lovely and is like stepping back in time when school buildings were the pride of the community. The wood floors, tall windows, and graceful banisters are beautifully maintained. The grounds are cool and shady and grassy. It is a great spot to sit and maybe have a picnic on a hot summer day. It is well maintained and the people and river watching is exquisite. During the summer, on Wednesday nights, the food trucks gather for a very family friendly event. PARKING! Lots of it! There is a huge lot accessible on Jones Street just off of Keystone. There is also a small shady lot under the Keystone bridge. Don't miss this great spot when taking a walk or riding your bike along Riverside.
MoreStroll along the river to the west for about a half mile through some of the oldest Reno neighborhoods. It's flat easy walk. Enjoy the shade of the large old trees and maybe a refreshing breeze.This is converted former school. Check online to see what scheduled there. They have no permanent exhibits.
