Exhibitor Quotes
What People Are Saying
"The RTIA Show stands out as one of the most exceptional art fairs Jumper Maybach has had the privilege to exhibit in. Having participated in numerous prestigious fairs from Miami to New York City, RTIA marked a significant milestone—our formal introduction to the West Coast art scene beyond our solo gallery exhibitions. We are proud to announce our continued involvement, with plans to return next year and to join the Salt Lake City fair in 2026."
Jumper Maybach
"The RTIA has changed the way our Artist community interacts. It's bigger than just a gathering place for artists to share their work. It's become a premier event for artists to yearly expand their limitations and bodies of work. An event to gather in community with like minded individuals to discuss what it means to process life through a creative lens. A place to immerse in inspired expression and to leave different than when you arrived It is my favorite event of the year and I hope to never miss it."

"RTIA show is my favorite art show I do all year. I've met incredible people each year, and it's been the best place to sell my work and find new collectors. It's one of the most well organized shows I've participated in, and you can tell it's a labor of love."

"As a first time exhibitor at the Reno Tahoe International Art show I was so impressed by the personal attention from the organizers. Brianna, Kevin and Diane were all about making sure everyone was taken care of. The caliber of art and the excitement of the patrons was above and beyond. As recipient of "Best of Show Small-Scale Sculptor" people's choice I am certain that the RTIA show is a perfect fit for my work. I will see you there in 2026."

"I had a great time at the RTIA Show. I met so many great art appreciators. The bonus was all my great booth mates. I had artists from Tennessee, Oregon & Utah to hangout with for 4 days. I look forward to participating next year. The atmosphere was supportive and it was easy to setup and pack up at this event."

The fair was an amazing experience—people were curious, engaged, and excited to dive into my process. I truly enjoyed connecting with the collectors I met this year, and I can’t wait to see them again and meet new collectors next time.
Andres Rave
Having never shown my work publicly before, I wasn’t sure what to expect from RTIA. The experience was wonderful, with easy communication and support from start to finish. I exhibited my originals and sold seven limited edition prints, which was more than enough to make the weekend a success.
Brooke Siem
Tremendous success as I sold ten sculptures. Content my fellow Nevadans could appreciate my locally sourced wood and stone creations.
Bob Howard
It is always a blessing each year to be able to see a diversity of artwork. I can't wait for next year's art show. See you there!

One of my favorite things about RTIA is the community of artists I get to be a part of each year. This community is full of support for one another. I leave each year feeling refreshed and inspired to make more art.

The RTIA Show was an incredible experience! The traffic was fantastic, and the energy throughout the event made it such a joy to be part of. I was honored to showcase my handcrafted jewelry alongside so many talented artists. This is truly one of the best shows in Northern Nevada — a must-see event for both artists and visitors!

Reno Tahoe International Art Show 2025 was another amazing event for the books it was filled with beautiful artwork, amazing people and wonderful conversation. I love learning and spreading joy through my art and this was a perfect opportunity to do just that.

The RTIA show puts Reno on the cultural coming of age map. The quality and variety of the art that is presented is amazing from painting to sculpture to woodworking to the Black Rock Desert pieces.
Bunny Carnahan
Fantastic!! This was my first visit to RTIA and, frankly, I was expecting another craft show. WOW, was I surprised and thrilled to see it was so much more. The artistry was far beyond anything I was expecting. Coming here to live from a major metropolitan area where museums and galleries were on every corner, I'm so excited to see the Reno Tahoe area with so much to offer in this show. I purchased two fine pieces and can't wait until next year's show. Well done!!

The 2025 RTIA Show attracted a wide variety of artists. I especially enjoyed the Native American artists, the sculpture, Western art, and abstract paintings as well. The large pieces from Burning Man captured the wonder of that nearby event. This is a don't miss show. Mark your calendar for next year's event.

This year’s RTIA Show was a fabulous, gorgeously curated spectacle, full of life and featuring a brilliantly laid-out showcase of impressive art, dance performances, a children’s art corner, insightful curated talks, and beautiful piano, violin, and harp performances. Another unforgettable celebration of creativity and community by the RTIA team.

The RTIA Show is truly a feast for the senses. Whether it be music, dance, sculptures from Burning Man in family setting, exceptional fine art, or engaging presentations at the RTIA Talks, there is something for every lover of the arts. It’s a ‘must see.’
Leslie Murtaugh
This was the best art show I've seen in Reno! SO FUN and so full of quality art. My grandchildren loved the sculptures, my daughter bought a painting and I will visit the studio whose display at the show was outstanding. I couldn't choose in those moments! I also loved the lecture on Art Fraud by the FBI agent. I will definitely be back next year!

Once again we had a great time at the show and brought friends with us. We will continue to spread the news when it comes next year. We are already looking forward to it.

This is an Art Show that has something for everyone in the family. You will find something you never could imagine. You will realize talent beyond your wildest imagination. You will see art that will inspire you and challenge you!

Being able to talk to the artists is enjoyable. The diversity of mediums and styles really provides a full experience. Appreciate the local school participation. Very impressed.
Debbi Engebritson
As an art lover and a creator and as a former SoCal resident( who was surrounded by museums and galleries) RITA is a must see for me. This year was especially memorable as we had the chance to talk to many of the participating artists and actually see many of them giving a live demonstration of their craft.
