Amanda “Artist_One” Holt Invites Reno to Leave Its Mark in “I AM ART Mirrors Reno”
Interactive Mirror Mural Launches July 11 at the Downtown Reno Public Library as Part of Artown’s 30th Anniversary Celebration
Reno, NV — In honor of 30 years of Artown, the community is invited to take part in I AM ART Mirrors Reno—a powerful, participatory public art installation led by artist and storyteller Amanda “Artist_One” Holt. This one-day interactive event will take place on Thursday, July 11, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Downtown Reno Public Library, and is free and open to the public.
I AM ART Mirrors Reno invites participants to step into the role of the artist by contributing a word, symbol, or reflection directly onto a growing mirror mural. This interactive piece will continue to evolve after the event, as Artist_One incorporates each community contribution into a vibrant, city-inspired Dreamscape of Reno—a tribute to the stories, voices, and creative pulse of the region.
“This is more than a mural,” says Artist_One. “It’s a moment where expression meets reflection. Everyone who shows up is part of the legacy—of art, of identity, of Reno.”
Once completed, the final mural will be permanently donated to the Downtown Reno Public Library, preserving the voices of the community as a living, public work of art.
“Art has the power to save us—especially when it gives voice to the parts of ourselves that are ever evolving,” says Ashley Milliken, Executive Manager of I AM ART. “This installation is more than creative expression—it’s an invitation to show up, be seen, and leave a mark. We invite you to join us at the Downtown Reno Public Library and be part of something that reflects who we are, together. I AM ART is honored to support Artist_One and celebrate 30 years of Artown by helping bring this powerful moment to life in the heart of the Biggest Little City.”
