Artown Community Mural Reception: Art of Aviation
Join us for a special artist reception celebrating a collaborative mural, depicting the Artown poster artwork by many talented artists who brought it to life. This community-driven project unfolds as a vibrant display of creativity, with each section contributing to a larger story of Northern Nevada's pioneering spirit, the history of flight, and the innovation that defines our region. Meet the artists behind the work, learn about their creative process, and experience the mural up close as a unified piece. What begins as individual contributions transforms into a powerful collective artwork, highlighting the impact of collaboration and shared vision. Set within the inspiring space of The Discovery, the evening offers an opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate the role of art in bringing people together. The completed mural serves as a striking entrance centerpiece to a new aviation-themed exhibition, helping build excitement for the inaugural Red, White, and Flight Drone Show. This unique community mural transforms a single artwork into a shared experience, where 250 individual contributions unite to form one inspiring visual celebration of aviation, innovation, and America's 250th anniversary. Each artist contributes a portion of the larger design, resulting in a cohesive mural that reflects the creativity and spirit of Northern Nevada. This collaborative effort is made possible through the partnership of three community organizations. The George W. Gillemot Foundation supports the original mural artwork, advancing aviation education and inspiring future generations. Artown brings the community mural experience to life, inviting artists of all backgrounds to participate. The Discovery hosts the reception and showcases the finished piece, creating an engaging gateway into the exhibition. Visitors are welcomed by a work created not by one artist, but by 250 members of the community—making this mural a lasting symbol of connection, creativity, and regional pride. 250 artists. One vision. One community. One historic celebration.
