Artown brings the outer reaches of imagination to the center of attention in a calendar noted by the National Endowment for the Arts as one of the most comprehensive festival offerings in the country. Each July, Artown asks all who will to leave the beaten path for arts unknown, to join with distinguished artists from down the street, across the country, and around the world for a month-long celebration of cultural diversity and artistic innovation.  Reno Envy is a pround partner with Artown and will be helping to build merchandise for the event.  Starting in June all Artown merchandise will be sold at the Reno Envy store in the newly opened West Street Market, this is a great opportunity to support the arts and local business.

Reno’s coolest shops and styles will be on display after Artwalk in what’s certain to be the funkiest fashion show of the year. Here’s what folks are saying about the shops that will be showing at the event.

Lodo Loft – “Lodo Loft is most likely the ONLY place in Reno to get real designer clothes, like the celebrities wear. They have an amazing selection of brands like Paper Denim and Cloth…if you’re looking for LA fashion in Reno, NV, you’re in the right place.”

Lodo Loft will be showing sexy bottoms and summer dresses.

Junkee Recycled Clothing – “This is my favorite clothing store in Reno. Period.

Every time (and I mean EVERY TIME), I strike gold. The clothes are absolutely adorable and totally original. The vintage stuff is fantastic – and fit for curvy girls like me!

I lived in San Francisco for a few years and I always hated vintage clothing stores because A) the prices were obscene and B) the stores were always so picked over, I never had a chance. Junkee isn’t like that at all. There’s plenty of treasures awaiting you.”

Junkee will show it’s inimitable vintage styles.

Franz Szony – “Photographer Franz Szony creates succulent rococo dreamscapes on custom framed canvasses that seem to glisten from deep within another dimension. His compositional flair, spacial dynamics, and obsessive attention to detail are early indicators of a monster talent in the making.” -Oliver X Reno Passport Magazine

Franz will create original body paint designs on several lucky celebrity models.

RENO ENVY’s about pride and pioneering spirit. It’s about reverence for the past and an irreverent celebration of individuality. It’s about personal expression with an edge. It’s a misfit culture with it’s own set of values.
