The 2025 Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl will feature over 120 authors, artists, performers, and panelists in over 40 events across downtown Reno on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Be part of a joyful day of panel discussions, book signings, performances, workshops, and family-friendly activities that celebrate the written word in all of its forms. All events take place at local businesses and organizations throughout the California Avenue corridor and Downtown Reno. The Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl is free and open to participants of all ages. 

Sierra Arts is excited to host two literary panel discussions in our Sierra Arts Gallery.

1:00-2:00 • Writing About Art – The visual arts and the written word come together in this special gathering of authors and artists. Scott Dickensheets, Candace Garlock, Mark Maynard, Rossitza Todorova, and Kris Vagner discuss the interaction of art and writing – from exhibition catalogs to arts journalism and beyond.

2:15-3:15 • Power in Diversity – The Sierra Arts Literary Community (SALC) gathers together authors Lynda Bailey, Jade Griffin, Marie Navarro, Nohemy Velasco, and Suzanne Morgan Williams for a discussion on how their experiences, heritage, and identity influenced their writing journey.
