The Salon & Pop-Up Salons

Part panel discussion, part conversation, and part social event, The Salon and Pop-Up Salons brought people together to participate in conversations about thought-provoking topics and ideas. The Salon offered people a welcoming place to learn new perspectives and share ideas. Reno's version of The Salon typically took place on the third Friday of every other month at Sundance Books and Music in Reno, with Pop-Up Salon programs statewide throughout the year. The Salon also took place online, with virtual conversations streamed right to your living room. A special thanks to Sundance Books and Music, our forever partners in the Nevada Humanities Salon Series.
