River Gallery

Located within the Riverwalk District of Reno, where more than three dozen shops, salons, and boutiques are gathered, the River Gallery has been owned and operated by local artist Alejandra Carpenter, a native of Honduras, since 2004. She uses the 1,500-square-foot space to showcase local artwork, including her own, which features impressionistic paintings done in watercolors, oils, and acrylics. Most of Carpenter's pieces are reflective of her Hispanic heritage.

Additionally, the River Gallery offers a variety of forms of art produced by talented local artists, ranging from paintings and drawings to sculpture and glasswork. The beauty of Nevada's environment is a dominant theme. There are a number of hand-woven baskets, miniatures, fountains, glass items, pottery, and copper 3-D sculptures on display and for sale, too. Also, photographic prints in both color and black & white are available, such as award-winning shots taken by Linda Dufurrena and S. C. Mignon.

Just one block from the heart of downtown Reno, the River Gallery is near First Street at 135 North Sierra Street, Suite 2A, Reno, Nevada 89501-1300. The hours of operation are from 11am to 6pm on Monday through Saturday and from noon till 4pm on Sundays. A parking garage is located directly above the gallery.
